#143 Spider-Man: No Way Home, Nightmare Alley, Tick, tick… BOOM!

Welcome to the holiday episode with the very least of holiday fanfare attached. The entertainment-hungry crowds have spoken that the latest Sony/MCU project, Spider-Man, has deserved much of the praise of what they manage to do with the character and his journey. Nightmare Alley is Guillermo Del Toro’s speech and troll-film to his audiences that expect myths and monsters. He instead attacks a time period and a type of man; the ones with a past and a certain thirst. The latest Lin-Manuel Miranda film is personal and yet a biopic/musical/adaptation that sounds murky but really, really works. A tour de force in blocking, acting and synchronicity of a time and a place and a feel.

#142 Encanto, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Sideways

As we near Xmas and the end of the year so does 2021 in films. We scramble to catch up on what we missed and have been wanting to see. There will be one more regular show before the Top 10 season starts. This week, we catch up on blockbusters like Encato, Pixar’s latest of a Hispanic Avengers team set to saver their home and future. Ghostbusters: Afterlife is a nostalgic dagger to 80’s kids and adults with inconsistencies but a fun time. Sideways marks the end of Luke’s marathon from earlier in the year. Unfortunately, no wine was consumed during the review and it was regrettable.

#141 Eternals, Spencer, Titane

This week, we begin with the controversial Eternals. We love what it brings and what makes this Marvel film different than the rest as well as reflect on the terrible constraints and choices it does. Spencer shows us another transformation from Kristin Stewart as Princess Diana going through meltdowns and anxiety attacks upon the British royalty. A horrifying film that isn’t at all horror. Titane escapes conventional descriptors as it involves a young woman’s terrible and murderous choices that leads her to a strange situation of pretending to be a boy to escape said choices. Invigorating, disgusting and yet appealing.

#140 Last Night In Soho, The Last Duel, Finch

It’s that time again. The time when the three films we are going to review are quite different from each other. Finch is the latest post-apocalyptic entry starring Cast Away-man himself, Tom Hanks working with a robot and a dog. The Last Duel is a plot-heavy but interesting medieval tale told three times, Rashomon-style. Lastly, Last Night In Soho presents a supernatural thriller with a 1960’s setting and dollops of horror in with fashion.

#139 Dune, The French Dispatch, The Silence of the Lambs

We’ve got an eclectic set of reviews for you this week. We start with the much-anticipated Dune and spoiler-alert, it very much does not disappoint. Epic status filmmaking. Wes Anderson’s latest The French Dispatch, had the same level of intrigue and humor and quirk as ever, which brought questions about Anderson’s style becoming stale. The 30th anniversary of Silence of the Lambs is just a great excuse to revisit Johnathan Demme’s masterpiece in this Halloween season and marvel at the subtle horror, character work and pacing. Happy Halloween!!

#138 No Time To Die, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Boyz N the Hood, The Many Saints of Newark

Welcome to the long-running machine. This 3-hour special tackles the latest James Bond film, the final installment in the Daniel Craig era, and talks about the merits of a 5-part story in a normally serialized franchise. The Venom sequel didn’t work as well as we thought it would, especially its lack of holding onto the horror genre. Boyz N the Hood celebrates its 30th anniversary and we marvel at how the film remains timeless and visionary and important in the world of cinema. Lastly, as a bonus, we have a review of the Many Saints of Newark fro you with another co-host.

#137 Malignant, Pig, Ghost World

This week, we travel from the back of our heads, to the Portland culinary underworld, and to a boring town. We celebrate Ghost World’s 20th anniversary as a mark of one of our last innocent films before the epic change that 2001 brought. Pig is essentially a thought-provoking, violence-free (overall) John Wick with the Cage in the center. Malignant proves that not all 90’s tropes in horror are good but that it can still be entertaining.

#136 Shang Chi: The Legend of the Ten Rings, Candyman, Black Hawk Down

We enter the latest Marvel phase in full force with Eastern realms and more magical input. In a trend of martial arts films, Shang Chi is not bad in stunts and choreography. The Candyman sequel turned out to be more needed than we anticipated as it updates to gentrification in Chicago with brutal horror. Black Hawk Down celebrates its 20th anniversary this year and we talk pretty positively at the immense cast and solid Ridley Scott directing.

#135 The Night House, Reminiscence, Take Shelter

Between the horror of dream-fueled impending doom, the horror of what a dead spouse leaves behind and the horror of remembering too clearly can bring, we’ve got you covered. Reminiscence is a classic-type of a noir tale filled with a dame, death and regret in a sci-fi setting. Take Shelter is about a man who gets intense dreams of the apocalypse and decides to act on it, to save his family. Happy 10th anniversary Take Shelter.

#134 The Suicide Squad, The Green Knight, Drive

This weeks’ show has a mixed bag of films. Remaking or reintroducing The Suicide Squad was a step up even if things made about as much sense as the plot did the last time around. The Green Knight gave us a beautifully constructed legend as old as time but equal parts confusion and awe. Drive, in its 10th anniversary, is a stylish and simple story of a man with no name following his ironclad code to protect the woman he loves.
