#371 – Lenny and Relapse (Is This Thing On?)

Comedy and Philosophy

Episode Notes

It's time for some comedy! Kinda.

For the release of IS THIS THING ON? from Bradley Cooper, we look at a possibly misunderstood classic in Bob Fosse's LENNY

We'll have a couple laughs, while avoiding Dustin Hoffman saying the N word...like...a lot.

#369 – Kingdom of Heaven and Religiosity (Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair)

Let the man cook

Episode Notes

It is time to talk religion, but in a fun way! We also talk about Director's Cuts and when and how they work. For the release of KILL BILL: THE WHOLE BLOODY AFFAIR, which is probably great, we discuss another great director's cut in Ridley Scott's KINGDOM OF HEAVEN!

Is Orlando Bloom a good actor? Do we need to see Edward Norton's face? Who cut Eva Green's hair? Listen and find out (mostly)!

#368 – Don't Look Now and the Effect of the Death of a Child On Marriage (Hamnet)

More sex than expected

Episode Notes

Another week, another really bleak movie. HAMNET comes out this week (finally!), so we took the chance to watch a supposed classic about the loss of a child in DON'T LOOK NOW!

We talk odd screams, Donald Sutherland almost dying, bad parenting, and sex scenes in movies.

Enjoy!

It's Just So Sad!

And geez, this was rough. Join us as we process our trauma
