September has Jonathan (@berkreviews) and Corey (@coreyrstarr) focusing on an iconic director: Martin Scorsese. While Jonathan has seen some of the big films of Scorsese's extensive filmography, there are a few he still wants to check off his gap list. Corey has explored it even less so there are plenty of major titles for them to watch for September 2020. River Phoenix is one that Corey loves and Jonathan has a lot of films on his gap list by so we decided to dedicate March to Phoenix Rising. Jonathan picked two and Corey picked three River Phoenix movies, but in a rare situation, Corey has seen most of the five where Jonathan has officially seen none, at least as an adult.
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 2 - The Age of Innocence (1993)
Corey picked The Age of Innocence (1993) mainly because of the cast. It stars Daniel Day-Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Winona Ryder, who is one of Corey's favorites. IMDb.com plot synopsis reads "A tale of nineteenth-century New York high society in which a young lawyer falls in love with a woman separated from her husband, while he is engaged to the woman's cousin."
