S2:E321 – Phantom Thread and Codependency

They are meant for each other

Episode Notes

There is nothing coming out this week worth talking about!

But what is always worth talking about? PHANTOM THREAD.

To do this episode justice, I had to invite on fellow threadhead, Sophia Ciminello.

S2:E319 – Eyes Wide Shut and Desire (Babygirl)

If you men only knew

Episode Notes

Merry Christmas!!! We return with the very best family Christmas movie, EYES WIDE SHUT. Given that it is Kubrick's last movie, guest Michael Denniston and I give it the serious treatment it deserves. Or maybe we crack jokes the whole time.

S2:E317 – Arrival and Linguistic Relativity (Nightbitch)

Communication is Everything

Episode Notes

Will this be the year Amy Adams gets her Best Actress Oscar. Probably not, but we can dream, right? NIGHTBITCH is finally out and anything she is in, we are excited about.

To celebrate that excitement, we bring back Manish Mathur to talk all things Amy

S2:E316 – All That Jazz and the 5 Stages of Grief (Wicked)

It's Showtime, Folks!!

Episode Notes

Alright, so it is finally time for WICKED! No idea if this will be good (despite Cynthia Erivo, who is always amazing). So, we wanted to cushion the possible blow. To do that, we are lucky enough to have Sophia Ciminello from Awards Watch!

S2:E315 – Gladiator and Masculinity (Gladiator 2)

We Are Entertained

Episode Notes

It is finally almost time to be entertained by GLADIATOR 2! Denzel! Paul Mescal! Pedro Pascal! But none of this masculine bravado would be possible without the original with young, hot Russell Crowe. We talk about this spectacle, as well as masculinity.

S2:E314 – The Place Beyond The Pines and Fatherhood (Here)

Fathers and Sons

Episode Notes

This week, a movie named HERE is released, and literally no one cares. We chose to talk about a movie you should care about! Zach Youngs and I talk THE PLACE BEYOND THE PINES, fatherhood, Gosling, Bradley Cooper, and robbing banks!

S2:E313 – Fences and Generational Trauma (The Piano Lesson)

Black movies with Derek

Episode Notes

The Washington family is everywhere. Directing, starring, producing in THE PIANO LESSON. To celebrate the release of August WIlson's newest stage to screen adaptation, we go back in time to talk FENCES starring Denzel Washington and the incomparable VIola Davis.
