Middle of the Row She Dies Tomorrow, Makes Us Feel ThingsA new release this week, this time from Neon and writer/director Amy Seimetz, She Dies Tomorrow. This black comedy/thriller thing is one of my favorite films of the year (knocked from the top spot since we recorded), but the rest of the crew isn’t quite as one over. Yet we agree on most of the film’s strengths. I don’t know... It feels like Ben and Lauren wanted something the film wasn’t trying to be, while Jon and I were a bit more on the film’s wavelength, though he was often bored by it. Either way...

Middle of the Row Radioactive Is Not Quite SoA new release, this time from Amazon Studios, and that is the film Radioactive. The Marjane Satrapi film is an inventive biopic about the scientist Marie Curie, and while it won over Zac, the rest of the crew had a hard time finding its glow. Pike is good, Satrapi makes some flourishes, but most here weren’t won over. Still, we discuss lots of other biopics, what makes them good, and a few other random diversions. Download. Listen.

Middle of the Row Dare To Open The Book Of Eli?We flashback to 2010 for Denzel walking the earth in The Book of Eli. The genre mash up has plenty to stick up for, plenty to be disappointed in, and made us feel a broad range of feelings; or none. Everyone has a different take on this one, so it’s a good listen for a variety of takes from us four. Jon made the pick, guess why?, but I can confidently say this, we are the only podcast that will compare The Book of Eli to Angels in the Outfield... Download. Listen.

It’s Hamilton, it’s great!, but we get into how the set and stage direction works to enhance the show, how seeing the close ups adds to the performances, and heap endless other amounts of praise on this classic. So, go watch Hamiton and come share in the love fest; unless your Ben... Download. Listen. Enjoy! 0:01:00 Backgrou...

Still, Ben was the lowest on it, but only has praise to be parsed out after his initial thoughts, so maybe it is worth your time. I’m probably a curmudgeon.

We discussed the greatness of Carey Mulligan, sad feelings, world building, more sadness, compared it to Michael Bay’s The Island, and did I mention sadness.

Sure, it wasn’t a real breakdown/pivot to rap, but it is one of the great performances (IMO) from one of our great actors. The shenanigans don’t always work, the whole film doesn’t for some of us here too, but we debate the merits of the film, the performance, and even rank Phoenix against some of his male counterparts (Ben picks Russell Crowe!).

Middle of the Row Get Stranded With Cast AwayFlashing back to pre Covid-19 times, to get stranded on an island with Tom Hanks in Cast Away. Zemeckis’ film holds up, as does Hanks’ performance and his title as best everyman actor. He really is incredible in this film and the film knocks it out of the park at its highest points. Where those points are in the movie vary greatly among the crew, so take a listen to see who you agree with the most. Download. Listen.

Middle of the Row Predators, What Are They Good For?We flashback again as Covid-19 continues to keep us inside. This week, we honor the release of The Hunt with a flashback to Predators! The 2010 film is also an homage to The Most Dangerous Game and is also a pretty good sequel to boot. Ben gets a bit beat up defending the movie, but he’s not alone in his appreciation, even if we pick nits. Lauren remains unphased by this alien race, and all aliens? Jon, well, I don’t know what he thinks when this is all said and done. A fun episode for an underseen movie. Download. List...

Middle of the Row Go Questing With OnwardHey friends, a short staffed review, again, just Ben and I, as we review Onward. Pixar’s latest is the studio’s first foray into the fantasy realm (sorry, Brave) and the results are pretty good.

Middle of the Row We Like The Social NetworkOur first flashback for 2020 is to 2010 for The Social Network. I consider this one of the best films of the decade, it is Top 3 David Fincher, and maybe Top 3 for everyone involved with anything in this movie. It’s really great, and we had two virgin eyes on this film. Ben and Jon are both impressed, while Lauren looks past her hate of dicks to enjoy the film on it technical proficiency. A great start to 2020, where I am sure we will all agree on everything. Well, a couple lively diversions might prove otherwise at the end of this thing.... Do...

Packed full of beautiful images, lovely music and whimsy, Micmacs, at its best, sings. At its worst, it feels like it could have gone deeper.

AFTN Soccer Show Episode 300 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Same Again - Vancouver v Dallas, Rahul Kholi, Jay Nolly) [NSFW]What a weekend this could have been. Once again Vancouver Whitecaps had other results go in their favour and once again they failed to get the job done themselves. "Same again" said Carl Robinson, "not again" said the supporters.
