Belle: Singin’ in the Zone, by Alexander Miller

Mamoru Hosoda is in love with the outcasts, the loners, and the beautifully imperfect introverts who yearn for nothing but love and acceptance. His characters reconcile this massive rift between the fantastical world and the real one because he genuinely...

Movie Meltdown: No Way Home

This episode we return to the Super Series with a vengeance as we discuss Spider-Man: No Way Home and all things Marvel. And as we work to make sense of the alternate universe we now live in, we also bring up… Hawkeye, Daredevil, Kingpin,...

Sing 2: Even Worse Than the Real Thing, by David Bax

Now, I’m going to come out and admit something and I hope you won’t judge me too harshly for it. I didn’t see Space Jam: A New Legacy. I’m sorry. But I was made aware, through the firehose of awful...

Dune: Fine Grain, by Josh Long

It’d be an understatement to say that there’s a lot riding on Denis Villeneuve’s Dune. Frank Herbert’s 1965 novel is the best-selling science fiction novel of all time, with a massive fanbase and eighteen sequel/prequel novels. Previous adaptations have been...

The Deceivers: Loose Cannon, by David Bax

1988’s The Deceivers, playing in theaters now in a new restoration, is produced by Ismail Merchant but it’s not quite what you imagine when you think of a Merchant/Ivory production. For one thing, it’s not directed by James Ivory. Instead,...

The Green Knight: Off With His Head, by Dave Platt

“Tell me a tale of thyself, so that I may know thee.” “I have none to tell.” “Yet.” This exchange, early on in David Lowery’s stunning new film, The Green Knight, between King Arthur, his nephew Gawain, and Queen Guinevere...

Monuments: Cliches like White Monuments, by Dayne Linford

Rather than mature, the indie dramedy has instead long since calcified into a brittle sub-genre, too inured with its perennial sadsack subject to achieve any real impact. This basic convention of a largely inoffensive, immature man-baby who responds to emotional...

Movie Meltdown: You’re Never Too Young to Die

I’m not sure if you’re ready for this one. (I don’t think we were.) This episode we discuss the 1986 classic(?) Never Too Young to Die starring John Stamos, Vanity and Gene Simmons. And before we ride off into the sunset in...

Mortal Kombat: Kill Screen, by David Bax

Of the many, many parts of Simon McQuoid’s Mortal Kombat that are awkward and clumsy, perhaps the worst are those times when the movie tries too hard to make sense. We start with a tragic prologue set 400 years in...
