Dive into a world where cinematic treasures come to life, as I'm joined by the insightful Susana Imaginario to reminisce over the films that made 2023 an unforgettable year in movies. From the stunning ambiguity of "Infinity Pool" to the unexpected delight of “Dungeons and Dragons,” we unpack the movies that resonated with us, reflecting a shared yearning for a diverse storytelling landscape beyond the superhero genre. Our dialogue brings to light the shared gems and the ones that, despite much hype, fell flat like "John Wick 4."
As we traverse through our diverse watchlists, Susanna and I revisit classics and uncover hidden gems, debating the impact of streaming platforms on our viewing choices. The conversation doesn't shy from the candid—praising bold narratives like "A Ghost Story," while questioning the missed opportunities in films such as "65" and the latest "Ant-Man" installment. We wrap up pondering the significance of AI in modern cinema with films like "Her," and tackle the complexities of discovering films amidst a sea of trigger warnings. Join us for this cinematic journey that's part film critique, part love letter to the movies that have shaped our year.
