Peculiar Picture Show500 Days of Summer: A Deconstruction of the Manic Pixie Dream Girl
Intro by Maria
In this episode, Brandon and I discuss the 2009 film 500 Days of Summer. Here’s what that movie is about: Tom, a young guy who is obsessed with falling in love, “falls in love” (and I’m doing air quotes) with Summer. The film follows the 500 days of Tom being “in love”—again, air quotes—with Summer.
During that time, Tom wants nothing more than a true relationship with Summer, even though Summer from the start tells him she doesn’t want a relationship. When they break up, Tom is in shambles, especially after he finds out...

Lady Bird is probably one of my favorite movies. It’s a Millennial coming of age story, and it’s written and directed by a real Millennial—something we haven’t seen in a lot of similar stories. As such, there are a lot of personal touches in the film that a lot of us Millennials dealt with growing up that are hard to describe but, oddly, easy to relate to. Couple that with some smart humor and you’ve got a pretty amazing film.
The plot follows Christine McPherson, or Lady Bird, as s...

In 2019, the film Joker was released, this time played by Joaquin Phoenix. This “new” version of the Joker is more realistic, showing him having a job as a rent-a-clown and taking care of his mother. He seems less like a comic book character and more like someone who is s...

Intro by Brandon
Are you mad as hell? Are you not going to take it anymore? You can bet a lot of people today are, and a lot of that stems from news networks that have turned journalism into loaded commentary. That right there is why Network, a 1976 film about the television industry, is still relevant. For many today, favorite political commentators are viewed as religious figures. In this era of Fox News and sensationalized media, Network is the satirical comedy we need.

Peculiar Picture ShowHer: Love, Technology, and Mental Health
Intro by Maria
The 2013 film Her can seem like an unappealing premise for a movie: A guy falls in love with a computer operating system. Yeah, right. Not sure how they’re going to make that work.
Well, that’s what I thought. So I avoided watching the movie, and apparently Brandon did too, but I did eventually end up watching it somehow or another, and it actually wasn’t bad. The movie toys with ideas that are fun to think about, like what constitutes a human being and how technology may be helping or harmin...

Peculiar Picture ShowThe Big Lebowski: Giving Approximately 280 Fucks About Philosophy and Politics
Intro by Brandon
The Big Lebowski is unabashedly a 90s comedy. It’s the mix of dark comedy and apathy that would hardly be around in a decade. In fact, it’s such a 90s film that it’s hard to really see the appeal if you didn’t spend your formative teenage or young adult years in the 90s. For this 90s kid, though, it’s a solid classic. This is in my top three comedies of all time, along with A Fish Called Wanda and Airplane!, two classics from the 80s.

This next movie is one of my favorite films of all time. It’s the John Waters film Serial Mom. The movie is from 1994, which as I explain during the episode, is apparently the defining movie year for me, your host—or one of your hosts—Maria Milazzo, and really a kind of important year for me in terms of mental health, as that’s when I was 14 years old, and if you’ve been listening to this podcast, you know that was around the time I was going through some trauma.

Think of a movie character with a stutter. Got it? OK. What’s this character like? Are they a hero? What role do they play in the story? Hold onto that for a minute.
Today, we’re taking a look at the 2010 Best Picture winner The King’s Speech. It’s a slow-moving British drama about King George VI, who must lead the nation in the midst of royal turnover and a world war breaking out. There’s one problem.

Peculiar Picture ShowBoyhood: 12 Years of Puberty, Personality, and Abuse
Intro by Maria
We’re gathered here today to talk about the 2014 film Boyhood, directed by Richard Linklater and starring Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette.
The movie’s plot is simple: We follow the protagonist, Mason Jr., as he grows from a boy, age 6, to adulthood, age 18—over the span of 12 years. When I say over the span of 12 years, Linklater literally filmed the movie for a few weeks at a time each year for 12 years. This tactic may seem gimmicky, but as Brandon and I discuss, it works for this film to give it an unp...

Peculiar Picture ShowSecretary: 50 Shades Better Than Other BDSM Movies (with guests Marion and Kim!)
Intro written by Brandon, performed by Maria
BDSM used to be a pretty taboo topic in film—until the godawful Fifty Shades of Grey exploited it as an artless debacle. But back in 2002, serious portrayals were a pretty foreign topic in cinema. Most of the time when it showed up in film, it was the punchline to a raunchy joke. In 2002, Secretary gave us a serious look at what a real BDSM relationship could look like, and it’s surprisingly a lot more sweet and romantic—and empowering—than most other BDSM films would lead you to believe...

Peculiar Picture ShowGrave of the Fireflies: A Soul-Crushing Wartime Film
Intro by Brandon
Grave of the Fireflies is a 1988 anime film which tells the story of two Japanese children orphaned after an American firebombing raid during World War II. It’s widely regarded as one of the saddest movies of all time. Or at least on Reddit. That’s where I read that. Anyway, it’s not just sad—it’s soul-crushing. Which of course meant that Maria and I loved it.
This is a bit of a unique film. There are a lot of war films, but not many from a civilian’s perspective, and far fewe...

Peculiar Picture ShowAmerican Beauty: A 90s Retrospect
Intro by Maria
On this episode, we talk about the 1999 movie American Beauty. It is yet another “because of the 90s” film; however, Brandon and I didn’t specifically choose this movie to watch. Instead, we’re watching it because it was the Academy Award winner for best picture.
If you haven’t seen the film, it stars Kevin Spacey as Lester Burnham, a white middle-aged guy having a midlife crisis. When put that way, the movie doesn’t seem particularly special, and if I’m being honest, 21 years later and given the current climate today, the mov...

Peculiar Picture ShowChasing Amy: A 90s Lesbian Film That Doesn’t Quite Get It Right
Intro by Maria
Chasing Amy is a 1997 film by Kevin Smith. It is on Peculiar Picture Show’s list because I picked it for that year, and I picked it because I wanted to re-visit this film. You see, you may have already guessed that back in the 1990s, I was a big Kevin Smith fan. And Chasing Amy was kind of a big deal when it came out because of its relationship to Smith’s other movies.
Before Chasing Amy, Kevin Smith was known for the movie Clerks and Mallrats, released in 1994 and 1995, respectively. Thos...

The 2010 film Love & Other Drugs certainly isn’t the best movie—or the worst—but as Brandon and I discuss, we unravel a slightly refreshing but still stagnant way to tell a love story. As Brandon says, we stayed for the drugs but didn’t care about the love.
The movie is about a pharmaceutical representative named Jamie, who is played by Jake Gyllenhaal. He’s your typical guy, a ladies man, out for money, and then he meets 26-year-old Maggie, played by Anne Hathaway. Maggie has Parkinson’s Disease, which is really the o...

Juno is a 2007 film directed by Jason Reitman and written by Diablo Cody. It appears on our Peculiar Picture Show grand movie list because it won the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. The movie is about a teenager named Juno who gets pregnant. But instead of showing the struggle of a teenager getting an abortion or having a baby and keeping it, the movie tells a different story: Juno decides to give her baby up for adoption. But—get this—that’s still not the central conflict here. The movie is less about pregna...

Peculiar Picture ShowTerms of Endearment: A Lousy Portrayal of an Overbearing Parent
Intro by Brandon
Moving emotional dramas are a big deal in the film world. When was the last time you saw a lighthearted comedy or an exciting superhero film win the Oscar for Best Picture? (That’s a trick question—that never happens.) The films that are regarded as masterpieces almost always fall into this genre, and, while comedies and action movies are often described as “funny” or “fun,” words like “amazing” are usually reserved for dramatic films.
Today, we are looking at the 1983 mother-daughter drama, Terms of Endearment. Now, we did not pick this film. When we st...

Peculiar Picture ShowDead Poets Society: A Romantic View of Suicide?
Intro by Brandon
When Dead Poets Society came out in 1989, it was a bit of an odd film. It was set 30 years earlier and didn’t feel at all like popular films of the 80s—in fact, thematically, it felt a lot more like the films of the 50s. It talked at length about old classic literature and Romantic poets and didn’t make great efforts to feel contemporary. But the film has had such a lasting legacy that it’s impossible to ignore it.
Dead Poets Society is a film that was hugely important for a lo...

Little Miss Sunshine came out in 2006. I saw it back then, and once again, and now, seeing it for the third time, the one word that comes to mind to describe it is “cute.” This is a cute movie. I suppose it’s partly cute because it stars Abigail Breslin, who plays seven-year-old Olive Hoover and who is the key feature of this film.

I love the 1975 musical cult classic, midnight movie phenomenon called The Rocky Horror Picture Show. It’s another one of those childhood classics of mine. First, the songs in this movie are just amazing. I still listen to the soundtrack to this day. Second, it’s fun and entertaining. It begs for you to participate—to jump up to your left and step to the right; to scream, “Say it!” when Frank takes a little too long to say, “anticipation.” And who doesn’t go absolutely over the moon when Meatloaf rides in?

People often say that truth is stranger than fiction, but honestly, when’s the last time you saw that? When I hear someone say that, I usually just assume that they don’t read a lot. But sometimes, life can surprise you—not necessarily with something shocking, but maybe just something unexpected. When details come up randomly with no concern for a coherent narrative, as they tend to in real life, you can end up with some pretty wild combinations. The sweet spot for strangeness, though, is fiction based on truth. That’s the best of...
