Triangle of Sadness (2022): New Movie Discussion

After discussing the upcoming summer 2023 slate of big picture releases, the boys discuss Jeff’s #2 movie of 2022, Triangle of Sadness, written and directed by Ruben Östlund (Force Majeure, The Square). This Swedish film spoken primarily in English won Östlund his second Palme d’Or and is a social satire on wealth, classism, beauty obsession, and political ideology. Co-starring Woody Harrelson as the alcoholic Marxist captain of a luxury yacht, be prepared to see the most gutturally disturbing dinner scene since Stand By Me… maybe worse.

Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) + Beer + Rants about Critics

After Jeff, John, and Dave rant about how critics are doing film-goers a great disservice (Owen Gleiberman, click-baiting Avatar haters), the boys discuss Avatar: The Way of Water. Despite this movie having pretty favorable reviews among critics and incredibly favorable reviews among audiences, it pains us to be haters since we love movies so much and people aren't supporting new films the way we used to. It's led Dave to drink. He didn't get drunk because he turned 50, it's because an actual critic called Avatar: TWOF a "Smurfahontas Stodgeathon", which is horesheet. And because it eases the pain of being alive as a human, as opposed to a Na'vi. Anyway, our job is to keep it positive, and we mostly do! We get critical- with love- in the spoiler section, but crack a tinny and spend some time with us.

Empire of Light (2022): Beer + New Movie Discussion

Sam Mendes made a British nostalgia film starring Olivia Colman, so we decided to drink some beer and whiskey and talk about it! Co-starring breakout star Michael Ward, Colin Firth, and Tobey Jones, Empire of Light takes place on the English seaside in a small town with a beautifully elaborate cinema struggling for audiences. The cast works at the theater and yearns for connection in the turbulent age of Margaret Thatcher's England, 1980. Crack a tinny and listen along!

The Whale (2022): New Movie Discussion

This week Jeff, John, and Dave drink beer and discuss seeing The Whale in Dolby Cinema, with the aspect ration of a 1950s newscast, and how the film had a serious impact on us. We also discuss the blocking, the cinematography, the music, and the incredible depth written by Samuel D. Hunter, who adapted his 2012 off-Broadway play for the screenplay. Directed by Darren Aronofsky, the film stars Brendan Fraser in one hell of a comeback performance portraying a 600-lb man trying to right some wrongs in his life. Assisted by some incredible performances including fall 2022 star Hong Chau (The Menu), Sadie Sink (Stranger Things), Oscar nominee Samantha Morton, and Ty Simpkins (Insidious, Jurassic World), this movie packs a punch. Crack open a beer and let's discuss.

Violent Night - New Christmas Movie Discussion

Jeff is away on special assignment so John and Dave reach into their magic sacks and pull out tickets to the new Christmas movie Violent Night starring David Harbour, John Leguizamo and Beverly D'Angelo.  Is it good?  Is it gory?  Is it fun?  Are home alone style traps deadly?  Ok that last one is a hard yes.

Bones and All (2022) + Beer: Life’s Never Dully! New Movie Discussion

This week, after Jeff's audio dropouts chill the hell out, he & Dave cover for John's sorry ass to discuss Bones and All, the new Timothée Chalomet, Taylor Russell (Waves), and Luca Guadagnino film (Call Me By Your Name, Suspiria (2018)) that will make you hungrier than The Menu, more nostalgic than The Fabelmans, feeling sweeter than The Banshees of Inisherin, and more discombobulated than Crimes of the Future. All of those are movies we've covered recently, by the way. Also, this is our third Mark Rylance movie of the year after The Outfit & The Phantom of the Open! We love Mark. For the love of Mark Rylance. We also drank a bunch of whiskey and beer and hope you enjoy!

The Fabelmans (2022): New Movie Discussion

This week on the show the boys drink beer and gush about The Fabelmans, Stephen Spielberg's autobiographical take on how crazy it is he got rejected from USC film school. Honestly, I'm surprised they got so giddy. One of the co-hosts (John) was so touched by it he said "aww" a bunch of times the way someone does when they see a bunny. Not the Fatal Attraction bunny. The film is sweet and made brilliantly. So if you're on your way home from drinking, or are drinking alone by yourself, and want to hear some guys drink and talk about the Fabelmans, we'd be honored to share your attention. This episode is for you!

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever: New Movie Discussion + Beer

We drink beers and talk about movies! After Jeff, John, and Dave get their gripes out discussing Disney+ with Ads, AMC's ridiculous lines that are costing them money, and people peeing during 9 AM screenings of 3 hour movies, they discuss Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. We discuss the usual things, whether Marvel should have let Ryan Coogler do his own thing and not set up any future anythings, and how incredible the fight choreographer did.

The Banshees of Inisherin (2022): New Movie Discussion

This week on the pod Jeff, Dave, & John discuss The Banshees of Inisherin, writer/director Martin McDonagh's first Irish-set feature film. The Irishman won an Oscar for the 2004 short film Six Shooter, which was set in Ireland, and he wrote lots of plays set in- and of the coast of- Ireland, but In Bruges, Seven Psychopaths, Three Billboards... It was time to return to the land of the Eire. Brendan Gleeson, Kerry Condon, Barry Keoghan- all Irish- star in a tale of friendship, conflict, loneliness, legacy, and feckin' pub life. This movie is goddamn good. Go see it, then grab a beer and listen- or watch on YouTube- along with us!

Armageddon Time (2022): New Movie Discussion

This week John, Dave, & Jeff discuss Armageddon Time, the mostly autobiographical account of writer/director James Gray about the first few months of his 6th grade school year in 1980 Queens, NYC. We drink beer and talk about how the film discusses privilege, capitalism, family values, friendship, adversity, Anthony Hopkins, and being a mensch. We were also going to discuss The Banshees of Inisherin but John lives in LA and apparently thieves are stealing parts of cars to resell on the black market. Fcking chop shop mfers. So just Armageddon Time this week! It's a prescient film and we hope you talking about it with us on the socials!

Black Adam (2022): New Movie Discussion

39% Rotten Tomatoes score, 90% Audience score. What?? I doubt the fans really gave this a 90... pollsters are in a tough place. But our job is to try to talk positively about films, so that's what we do! We drink beer when we don't. This movie was kind of three good movie ideas in one, so listen to see how we ultimately came out on this one.

TÁR (2022): New Movie Discussion

Written & directed by Todd Field (In The Bedroom, Little Children), the movie follows fictional Lydia Tár (Blanchett), one of the greatest living conductors (and composers?), and the first female conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic. The film touches on prescient thematic issues that will test most of its audience, and Blanchett rocks your socks off. Grab a sixer and hang out with us while we talk about Tár!

Amsterdam (2022): New Movie Discussion

This week on the pod Jeff, John, and Dave discuss Amsterdam, the new David O. Russell movie with an incredible cast and an important, inspired-by-true-events story filmed with little to no tone, which is potentially sinking the expensive adult dramedy feature genre. We drink beers and discuss! But more about that, well, streamers will pick them up, but unless the movie is incredibly good and awe-inspiring, matched with some fortunate timing, it's not making it's $80 million back ($150 mill with ad money factored in).

Blonde (2022): New Movie Discussion

This week Jeff, Dave, and John discuss Blonde (2022), the new Andrew Dominik film starring Ana de Armas as Norma Jeane aka Marilyn Monroe, currently streaming on Netflix. Since the trailer was released and an NC-17 rating was revealed, skepticism arose. Press screenings led to reviewers writing scathing pieces through clenched teeth, many of which had valid points.

Don’t Worry Darling (2022): New Movie Discussion + Beer

The Great Escape (1963): Should Have Seen That By Now

John & Dave drink whiskey and beer to re-watch an American classic that Jeff hadn't seen before, The Great Escape! Directed by John Sturges, this Steve McQueen, Richard Attenborough, James Garner classic is long but mighty, with some incredible detail, and is grounded by a surprisingly lurid tone for a drama with serious subject matter that you never see anymore. We drink a whole lot of beer and whiskey and discuss, once Jeff finally gets done ranting about his hatred for one-word movie titles. Seriously, Dave went for a pee break and came back... he was still going and John joined in! Crazy.

Bong Joon Ho’s Memories of Murder (2003): What Else Have They Done?

This marks the first episode of our new series, What Else Have They Done? For avid Bong Joon Ho (Parasite, Okja, Snowpiercer) fans, and followers of Quentin Tarantino's infamous movie lists, this film is a legendary exemplar of the murder mystery genre, and it's currently streaming on Hulu. John's cinematography teacher and fancy film school unknowingly inspired this selection. If you haven't seen it before, holy crap, get ready to be rocked. Set in a rural South Korean town, inspired by the 1986-1991 Hwaseong Serial Murders, Song Kang-ho (Parasite) leads a team of investigators and detectives who are driven crazy as they try to solve a series of seemingly unsolvable rape-murders.

Breaking (2022): New Movie Discussion

This week on the pod John, Jeff & Dave discuss Breaking, the new film, based on a true story, starring John Boyega as a US Marine veteran who demands the VA pay him his disability checks, which have been held up by bureaucratic crap that the US military doesn't want to confront ever, ever. Therefore, Boyega's Brian Brown-Easley makes a bold decision to make his situation known at the risk of his own life. We discussed the incredibly important content of the film as compared to the final product, which was directed by relative new-comer to feature film directing, Abi Damaris Corbin, who co-wrote the script with Kwame Kwei-Armah. Boyega also co-exec produced, and the supporting cast is led by Michael K. Williams in one of his final performances. RIP! Composed by frequent Jordan Peele collaborator Michael Abels, the film was also co-produced by Euphoria's Sam Levinson.

Three Thousand Years of Longing (2022): New Movie Discussion

Today on the pod we drink beer and discuss George Miller's passion project, Three Thousand Years of Longing, a movie where an Australian filmmaker takes an Istanbul-set, pre-Islamic Arabic tale, and creates a piece of fiction for Western audience. Well, worldwide audiences, likely, and the Djinn (Idris Elba) is very romantic! Tilda Swinton is back at it, there are sweeping scenes of fantasy, stories come to life... moviegoers are divided on the picture, but we're happy we saw it on the big screen. We discuss!

Conan the Barbarian (1982): Should Have Seen That By Now feat. Mark Monstroski

This week Jeff, John, & Dave welcome Mark Monstroski of our sister podcast, The Matt And Mark Movie Podcast, which is now trending in Saudi Arabia and Portugal! Mark is a huge fan of Conan and all fun movies, really. This episode features lots of talk about practical effects vs. current CGI trends, how good story-telling on film in a sword-and-sandals romp like Conan makes any lack of realism totally work, and an understanding that while more and more movies get made every year, the bar is very high thanks to the incredible legacy left before us! We drink a lot, too. 55 buzzes! That's a record. That means Mark holds the #1 and #2 spots of most-buzzed episodes on our show. He's gotta come back for Frozen II!

Conan the Barbarian is directed by John Milius, written by John Milius and Oliver Stone, based on the novel by Robert E. Howard, and stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, James Earl Jones, Max von Sydow, and Sandahl Bergman.

Emily the Criminal (2022): New Movie Discussion

Starring and Produced by Aubrey Plaza, Emily the Criminal is a little movie with a lot of guts, some thrill, and a compelling story that begs you to ask if you'd make the same choices! Jeff's audio kind of sucked in this one because he's a "f-ing amateur" (his words), but Dave saved his ass again. Also, John was on ayahuasca or something so he missed this week.

On the whole, this movie is fun, f the critics who think it's 'smug' and let it to a 53% on Rotten Tomatoes, grab some popcorn, watch with friends and loved ones, this is a fun action comedy with dramatic elements, Kung Fu influence and fighting sequences... just listen to our ep and hear us go through it!

The Gray Man (2022): New Movie Discussion with Beer

This week John, Dave & Jeff discuss The Gray Man, one of Netflix's biggest commitments of all time with a reported $200 million budget. Based on the 2009 novel of the same name, this project originally had Brad Pitt and James Gray attached, then Chris McQuarrie and Charlize Theron, it finally came to the Russo Brothers and the duo of Ryan Gosling and a wannabe Peter Sellers-esque, mustachioed Chris Evans. The cast is fleshed out by Alfre Woodard, Ana de Armas, and Billy Bob Thornton, and the script isn't fleshed out, at all. It's dead. But the movie was very fun, lots of action... so much action... so we gave it a watch, drank beer, and talked about it!

Gattaca (1997): Should Have Seen That By Now

This week Jeff makes Dave & John re-watch 90s Sci-Fi thriller (?) Gattaca since he had never seen it! Lots of beer drinking, too. We had consumed a bunch before we even started recording. Anyway, it's on Netflix and it gave us both Jude Law and Maya Hawke, plus it's so 90s. What a premise! Ethan Hawke pretends to be Jude Law so that he can maybe go to space some day. There's something about swimming against his brother, I think the line "I never saved anything for the swim back" that, you, didn't quite have the sentimental impact as "They called me Mr. Glass!", or something. Hell of a cast. Andrew Niccol wrote/directed.

Cast/Creatives: Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, with Jude Law, Loren Dean, Ernest Borgnine, Gore Vidal, Blair Underwood, Tony Shalhoub, Maya Rudolph, and Alan Arkin, Sławomir Idziak, Michael Nyman, Danny DeVito produced through Jersey Films.

NOPE (2022): New Movie Discussion

John, Dave & Jeff saw Nope, and we gave it three (or six?) thumbs up! We start spoiler free before getting into it, we have lots of questions and get into those as well, so tune in whether you loved the movie or didn't! One thing we can agree on, that is one tough, tough way to die. There's a shot of some death that is... actually two different sequences featuring multiple deaths that are really tough ways to go. So if the tension wasn't enough to scare you, at least agree that those deaths were tough. We cover lots of ground, but it looks like Jordan Peele is back after splitting his audience with his sophomore entry, US. Seeing this in IMAX was awesome and highly recommended. And shout-out to Keke Palmer! Steals the show.
