We're Still Here
Talking about I'M STILL HERE, a new political drama based on the 2015 memoir by Marcelo Rubens Paiva about the fracturing of his leftist family in the early 1970s, during the right-wing military dictatorship in Brazil. It's the latest film by Walter Salles (MOTORCYCLE DIARIES, CENTRAL STATION), who knew the Paiva family personally, and it's Brazil's biggest film hit since the Covid pandemic. It's also up for multiple Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best International Film, and Best Actress for the formidable Fernanda Torres. Co-hosts aren't in total agreement about I'M STILL HERE--Eileen loved it while acknowledging Dolores's misgivings about...

Cohost Experience Uneven FLOW
We've got a rare total disagreement between co-hosts when it comes to FLOW, the highly praised Latvian animated feature that's up for Oscars for both Best Animated Film and Best International Film. Dolores found this dialogue-free tale of a housecat and several other animals trying to survive a disastrous flood moving, inspiring, and perhaps the greatest film this year. Whereas Eileen—who generally despises the whole movie history of animals being terrorized so we can be entertained and learn dubious lessons, going back to THE YEARLING and OLD YELLER—defies all critical and public opinion to declare her deathless hatr...

Michael Keaton is back as the high-living undead title character, a "freelance bioexorcist," along with Winona Ryder as former depressed teen Lydia Deetz, now a perplexed middle-aged woman with an alienated daughter of her own played by Jenna Ortega of WEDNESDAY. Add the divine Catherine O'Hara as Lydia's mother, the daffy conceptual artist Delia Deetz, and the stage is set for fantastical fun with the living and the "recently deceased" and the highly porous border in between.

2 Yeps for Nope
Though if you talk to your friends and acquaintances you're likely hear a range of opinions on Nope--from 1) best Jordan Peele film so far, he's transcended himself, to 2) worst Jordan Peele film ever, Get Out (2017) and Us (2019) were so much better--your Filmsuck co-hosts agree on their pro-Nope stance. Dolores thoroughly enjoyed it, and Eileen thinks it's one of the most brilliant and thrilling genre films made in ages.
