this is why we watch moviesIn the Mood for Love (2000)This week on the pod, Landon answers Brian's questions on Wong Kar-wai's In the Mood for Love (which is one of his favorites)! Plus, hear our top 5 movies we were priveledged to watch in film school (so far). And make sure to subscribe and come back next time for when Brian gets Landon to re-visit The Tree of Life.
Side note, we use a shared podcasting studio, and it would appear that someone activated a noise gate on the sound board, and I couldn't figure out how to turn it off. Hopefully this is resolved next week.2024-09-0954 min

this is why we watch moviesTwisters (2024)After a brilliant week off that included what may go down as the craziest road trip of our lives, we’re back to talk about Glen Powell’s latest blockbuster- TWISTERS
Also in this episode, we finish up our thoughts on The Acolyte now that the season is over, and how we feel about Star Wars: The High Republic going forward. Oh, and the McKay’s Ultimate Roadtrip adventure story that is rather tame compared to what other folks may have experienced.
