This week Bob and Matt dissect three very different cinematic releases: Wes Anderson’s pastel chaos, a deep-sea implosion doc, and a tech bro fever dream masquerading as a movie.
⏱️ Chapter Markers:
00:00 – 17:45 | The Phoenician Scheme
Wes is back with a hand grenade. Bob breaks down the “Wes Venn Diagram,” Matt praises the comedic rhythm, and Michael Cera steals the show. Bonus: eyebrow analysis and a Benedict Cumberbatch wig appreciation moment.
17:46 – 32:20 | Titan Sub Disaster (Netflix)
Implosions, PlayStation controllers, and corporate delusion. Bob relives learning about the story in an escape room, and Matt explores the horrifying audio build-up to tragedy. An unexpectedly gripping doc with more tension than most action films.
32:21 – 41:44 | Mountainhead (Max)
Billionaires with soup spoons, gobbledygook dialogue, and a plot so muddled even subtitles tap out. Bob is out, Matt is… somewhat amused. The guys debate whether it's satire, nonsense, or both—and if Steve Carell can save it. (Spoiler: maybe not.)
