SATURDAY NIGHT is finally coming out for us non film festival folks. Can it possibly live it to the grandeur and history of Saturday Night Live? Probably not, but it will be fun to see them try!
What does live up to expectations is Lin-Manuel Miranda and Andrew Garfield taking on TICK TICK...BOOM!
Join Me and Bryan Sudfield as we take you through the glory of Jonathan Larson!

Look, JOKER: FOLIE A DEUX may be petrified to call itself a musical, but here at Pop Culture Case Study, we are afraid of nothing! We take a look at Freud and LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS. And this episode is chock full of music!
We invite Alex to talk a nearly perfect movie, panic attacks on planes, comedic geniuses, and Rick Moranis being better than Russell Crowe!

LEE comes out this week to little fanfare. But hey, how bad can it be? Kate Winslet! Ummmm, well it's not great. But it did give us an opportunity to check a movie off of our watchlist! We invite on fantastic film writer, Will Bjarnar, to talk Peter Weir and his greatness.
Join us as we talk THE YEAR OF LIVING DANGEROUSLY, award worthy performances, yellow face, and all around good guy Mel Gibson...

Ok, so WOLFS comes out this week, but probably not to a big screen near you. Sadly, this is where we are at. Clooney! Pitt! Watch it at home! To distract ourselves from this hell, we travel back to a time when big stars meant big screens. Dave and James Coddington talk CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, DiCaprio, and Hanks!
Join us as we make the case that Spielberg is somehow underrated, this is a Christmas movie, and it is even better than you think! We are not conning you, we promise. Mostly.

Ok, finally we get to see SPEAK NO EVIL this week, a movie that has burrowed into the mind of anyone who has gone into a theater lately. And to do that, we bring Dara Cosby on to talk about another horrific dinner party, with THE INVITATION, directed by Karyn Kusama.
We talk Tom Hardy adjacent actors, slow builds, and death cults. You know, normal stuff. So join us and drink the Kool-Aid of Kusama.

We have finally reached peak nostalgia. Michael Keaton has agreed to put on more hideous makeup for BEETLEJUICE, BEETLEJUICE. Will it be any good? Does it matter? Who knows. But you know what is good? Having JD Duran of Insession Film here to geek out over fighter jets. Given the long length between movies in the aforementioned Burton movie, we are looking at TOP GUN: MAVERICK, a movie that almost certainly did it better. We talk Tony Scott, aerial maneuvers, and dealing with grief and fatherhood.
Strap in for some serious G-Force (or just some movie talk).

BLINK TWICE comes out this week! Did anyone even know this? Anyway, it looks pretty good. But more importantly, it made me think of a great flick, READY OR NOT. To talk about this (and familial manipulation), we bring on Joanna from the excellent (and soon to return) Bloody Popcorn!
We talk shoes, wedding dresses, scrappy blondes, and dealing with our not favorite family members. Check it out!

Ok, so we have yet another Alien release, and no, we are not covering Alien 3. You should love yourself instead. But since Alien Romulus takes place between two previous movies, that gives us the perfect opportunity to talk STAR WARS and ROGUE ONE. Also, secretly a good change to talk about how great ANDOR is, and will continue to be.
We bring back filmmaker, writer, all around good guy Diego Crespo to talk all levels of nerdery, along with psychological tenet of redemption!

Ok, it is finally time for Dave to talk about MIDSOMMAR. A movie he wants to like, but seems unable to access. To deal with this, we have superfan Dani on to talk about why she connected so deeply with Ari Aster's opus.
We talk director's cuts, cults, if this village is a nice place to live, and what is abuse anyway?
