Movie Victory! ✔ + ✗ = ★Movie Victory! Ep. 709.1 ~ The ShiningDavid & Huey sit a little too long with The Shining, which Huey didn't watch & instead watched the documentary Room 237, & along the way discuss its analogy of alcoholism, its many possible interpretations for the atrocities of man throughout history, the latent homosexuality of Jack Torrance, the sequel Doctor Sleep, then they get in way too long argument about how the distance of the moon changes, whether the film is supernatural or not, how Scatman Cruthers is the real father figure in the film, overall... A difficult episode! Too long!

How Wes Anderson movies are about as sexy as an a lonely submarine. Method roleplay & daddy kink interpretations totally subverting the film. Is a swimming pool just a small ocean?

Ep. 800 ~ Hedgehog in the FogDavid is generally perplexed by one of Huey's all-time favorites, Yuri Norstein's Hedgehog in the Fog (1975) a classic Russian fable, beautifully adapted into a classic of experimental animation techniques. The problem of presence, of memory & prediction; the fog representing the pataphysics of the mind; anticipation, distraction, worry, wonder, uncertainty, yearning, hindsight, confusion, being lost, the journey & the destination, blah blah blah, it's all that, in only ten minutes of animation. Certain yikes takes on Walt Disney's various misogynistic & antisemitic views during his era.

Then David & Huey have a séance to summon King Vidor's ghost using Huey as a vessel. David brings up gossip then asks why Huey keeps talking about gossip. And how Huey has seen the movie 4 times & still cant remember what the plot is. Not our best work; skip it!

Sun Gods & Moon Gods & Saturn Gods? What days are what "Gods"? Hurt people hurt people? So-called "toxic" masculinity & how do we deal with a society that doesn't treat hurt people with kindness?

Targeted Ads & their Infinite Jest from Netflix to TikTok? Advertisement echo-chambers & algorithmic needles in a haystack of hashtags. How the mainstream news "feed" is a plague on human consciousness. It's gross that they call it a "feed," right? Tools are better than tricks.

Artifice & authenticity, ambiguity & peculiarities, opera singers as actors & hands-off directing styles, how borderline personality's black\white savior/enemy viewpoint is a dangerous way to move through the world, how nobody really knows how they feel about something that happens to them until...

As well as topics that range from being friends with exes, how hookup culture has positively affected masculine/feminine friendships, how in a real relationship you change with the person not against them, how people grow together & apart, how it's not about 'fixing' anything it's about working through it, how it feels to be perceived by others & be understood, having positive interactions...

Movie Victory! ✔ + ✗ = ★Movie Victory! Ep. 609 ~ VertigoDavid & Huey take turns trying to explain the inexplicable plot of Hitchcock's Vertigo (1958), its nervous dream logic, the age disparity of the characters, seeing dark Jimmy Stewart from a feminine perspective, obsession & desperation, the weight of losing a loved one (even if they're imaginary), returning to the scene of the crime & reenacting trauma, how the villain in the film is totally peripheral; a MacGuffin of a villain, Hitchcock's use of green for fantasy, & David brings up Huey's treatment for a sequel.

Movie Victory! ✔ + ✗ = ★Movie Victory! Ep. 605 ~ Sunrise: A Song Of Two HumansDavid & Huey watch the so-called "silent" film Sunrise (1927) & go over a range of topics including Hollywood's bad habit of giving European directors 'creative control', then editing their work &\or the film becoming a flop. The difference between silent movie acting & everything after it; the difference between looking at your watch & actually checking the time. The bizarre phenomena of films becoming "lost." And somehow they segue into talking about Jack Nicholson's career, F.W. Murnau's Magical Realism, & the ever-unanswered question: Do pigs like wine?

Movie Victory! ✔ + ✗ = ★Movie Victory! Ep. 604 ~ To Sleep With AngerDavid & Huey find the devil in the details of Charles Burnett's novelistic To Sleep With Anger (1990), the depth of its characters & the density of narrative it consistently delivers. A true Movie Victory!

Movie Victory! ✔ + ✗ = ★Movie Victory! Ep. 603 ~ The DeadFor Bloomsday, David & Huey read between the lines of John Huston's adaptation of James Joyce's The Dead (1987), & discuss how being too technical can sacrifice passion, or put another way, how being too formal can lack spirit. The importance of open communication as the foundation of any healthy relationship. And how the avoidance of death looms over any human event :) Definitely an episode to skip if you haven't read the story or seen the movie!

Movie Victory! ✔ + ✗ = ★Movie Victory! Ep. 602 ~ The SwimmerDavid & Huey, & special guest Lawry, wade through the psychological tragedy of The Swimmer (1968), offering various readings of both the movie & the short story it's based on. They wonder aloud what the genesis of strange story ideas might've been, why a phrase like "sugar on your strawberries" is a creepy thing to say, as well as give their Top 5 All-Time Favorite Films, at present.

Movie Victory! ✔ + ✗ = ★Movie Victory! Ep. 601 ~ Paris, TexasDavid & Huey express differing but nonetheless admiring views of Paris, Texas (1984) & all there is to unpack within the film. How good writing & natural dialogue are often is a result of knowing your characters well before you even start writing. Assuming the audience is smarter than the characters, rather than the other way around. The emotional maturity of knowing when to walk away from an escalating situation, rather than give-in to unproductive emotions. What it means for a child's psychology when they feel abandoned by a parent. What it means to know you're "not ready." What it means to consider...

Movie Victory! ✔ + ✗ = ★Movie Victory! Sidecast ~ The SeasonsDavid calls Huey, who has been missing for sometime & turned up at a hospital. David expresses concern for Huey's drug use. Huey expresses his totally reasonable dislike of pants, blacking out & being told all the shit you did when you wakeup the next day, then eventually getting around to throwing out ideas for possible themes for the next few seasons. A lot happens honestly. But the episode gets boring after the first 15 minutes, don't bother after that point! Definitely for diehard fans only! Worst episode to date! Skip it!
2021-06-2751 min
Movie Victory! ✔ + ✗ = ★Movie Victory! Ep. 510 ~ ViridianaDavid & Huey mostly agree about Buñuel's Viridiana (1961) having a bad attitude. The fairly new taboo of NOT marrying your cousin. The diversity of personalities in homeless communities. Why rape & murder are so common in storytelling throughout history, from the Greeks to the Bible, to Shakespeare & modern cinema. Why compassion is important in storytelling & for the evolution of humanity itself. What it really means when people call something "boring." How once-offensive works of art seem tame decades later. And why The People's Republic of China is dominating the box office!

Movie Victory! ✔ + ✗ = ★Movie Victory! Ep. 509 ~ Werckmeister HarmoniesDavid & Huey have a difficult time interpreting Werckmeister Harmonies (2000), naked old men, slow-cinema, stream-of-consciousness literature, the metaphor of an eclipse, the correlation between fear & ignorance, how fear & anger are political tools used to control whole populations, the disparity of experience between watching high-quality & low-quality digital copies of films, & how Bela Tarr's other film Sátántangó (1994) once gave Huey an existential crisis that lasted for several years.
