MAIN REVIEW: AMSTERDAM (Drama/Artistic)

The crew breaks down their near-surreal experience watching the new film from Auteur David O. Russell. The ups and downs, star studded cast with absolutely odd dialogue, hear each members unique take as they argue about what part was weirdest/funniest/oddest.


Okay, I’m just going to be frank with you. It's the description typing guy here for you. If you’re reading this, you want to find out what the episode is about. The hard thing about this part is that it means I surmise a summary- I’m shortening my impressions about my shortened impressions about the film. It's an odd thing to do. So let me outline the bigger points of the segment:


1. You’re probably not going to go see this film. Shannon breaks down the metrics and statistically speaking, you’re not going to see this film

2. There’s a S**T TON of actors in this movie- JT breaks down the list and it’ll surprise you how many people are in this movie

3. We can give you talking points to use at work to make it seem like you DID see this film. Copy our words and talking points and you’ll sound like you took Intro to Film Studies in college

4. We’ll explain a movie that most people are probably confused by. At least, we’ll talk with the confidence like we can explain it. You tell us if it worked

5. There’s a spoiler free portion and a spoiler portion if actually decide you wanna see it!

6. Unique viewpoints and opinions from each host, so you can genuinely try to make the decision for yourself


Thanks for reading this list. It made it easier. You have the information, and I can go watch more stuff for you to check out. I’m thinking that I should rewatch all of Game of Thrones. By everyone. Just for fun, take a look who made this movie!
