For August 2020, Corey (@coreyrstarr) and Jonathan (@berkreviews) have selected the theme Speaking my Language...or non-English native films. That's right, you'll be reading these films this month unless you're more cultured than they are. Each film this month would be considered foreign to most Americans. It's often an area that neither dive into enough so dedicated a month to it makes a lot of sense.
As far as the podcast goes, each episode features an in-depth review of the movie for the week. They begin with a spoiler-free review before diving in completely after the needed spoiler warning. However, before getting into the review of the week, Jonathan and Corey discuss what other movies they've seen since the last episode as well as anything else they feel like discussing. To help them decide which of the many films to watch each month they started creating themes for them all.
Week 1 - Micmacs (2009)
For week one, Corey selected Micmacs because of the director. Three of Jean-Pierre Jeunet's films have been covered previously throughout Movie Club history and this one, starring Dany Boon, André Dussollier, and Nicolas Marié plus several more was a darkly fun one. The synposis reads "A man and his friends come up with an intricate and original plan to destroy two big weapons manufacturers."
