Season 2
S2:E287 – The War of The Worlds (2005) and Survival (Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes)
Tom Cruise is not human
Now that we have YET ANOTHER Planet of the Apes movie coming out, did we pick one of those 19 movies? Of course not. Dave uses this as an excuse to watch a Spielberg movie that he had trouble with the first time around, THE WAR OF THE WORLDS.
S2:E288 – Selena and Obsession (Back in Black)
Selena Forever
Sadly, BACK TO BLACK is being released. No one wants it, but here we are. In order to distract us from that horrible reality, we decide to focus on a GOOD biopic about a young singer who also died to early, with SELENA.
S2:E289 – The Northman and Fate (Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga)
Team Fjolnir
Here we are, another MAD MAX movie is coming out. Are we excited? Mostly. But hey, it also serves as a chance to talk about revenge and fate. In order to manage this better, the show invites Manish Mathur to talk about THE NORTHMAN.
We talk Robert Eggers, violence, issues with female age in Hollywood, and how
S2:E290 – Spy and Imposter Syndrome (Ezra)
You can be anything, even a slutty dolphin trainer
Look, it's kind of a slow week. We're not saying that new release, EZRA, looks bad... it's just...maybe not good. But you know what is good? Movies with Rose Byrne and Bobby Cannavale! So, yeah we're using this as an excuse to rewatch SPY!
S2:E291 – The Departed and Undercover Identity (Bad Boys Ride or Die)
Scorsese's Most Entertaining Movie
This week, there is another BAD BOYS movie, but Dave doesn't care much about that. Luckily, his guest, Marcelo Pico of Talk Film Society does and he has some opinions. But more importantly, this is yet another opportunity to talk about Martin Scorsese and THE DEPARTED
S2:E292 – Ratatouille and Self-Concept (Inside Out 2)
The Tiny Chef Is In
The box office has been in trouble. Can we finally save it with a cartoon? INSIDE OUT 2 is coming out and I'm sure people will finally be lining up to entertain their children.
On our show, we are taking a look at a great cartoon, also made by Pixar, RATATOUILLE.
S2:E293 – Thief and Adjustment After Prison (The Bikeriders)
Capitalism Sucks
On this episode, we bring on the ultimate guest, Michael Denniston (Projecting Film, Trilogy in Theory). if you don't like the movie we are covering, go yell at him. Dave foolishly gave him the choice to cover any movie and here we are at THIEF!
S2:E294 – Django Unchained and Revenge (Horizon: An American Saga Part 1)
More Than Cool
Ok, finally it's time for Westerns. And Quentin Tarantino! And the return of Good ol Seed, Daryl Mansel! We talk a lot about racial politics and a little about revenge. In between, there is some discussion about the cool factor of Tarantino, and if this is a good fit
S2:E295 – Sunset Boulevard and Narcissism (Maxxxine)
We are ready for our close-up!
Happy Holidays! For this most American of holidays, we celebrate an American classic, SUNSET BOULEVARD!
To do that, we are honored to have a new guest, writer extraordinaire, Ema Sasic.
S2:E296 – The Village and Deception (Fly Me To The Moon)
M. Night Has Our Hearts
Like a fool, Dave has decided to put his thoughts about M. Night on the internet. So, he needs backup. Enter Richard Newby, film critic, journalist, and author. We talk racism towards the director, earnestness, love stories, and parenting tips.
