#199 Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, The Fall Guy, Birdman (or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)

It seems intelligence and self awareness can make humans of any creature. A story of Noa, an ape survivor looking for his clan that were captured by a ruthless ruler trying to pillage humanity’s old world. A stuntman is thrown into real-life action while looking for the lead actor to a film directed by his love interest. A washed-up superhero actor attempts something real, creative and selfish with a prominent play as he becomes more frayed by the day to day antics, contemporaries and loved ones.

#198 Challengers, Sasquatch Sunset, Boyhood

An epic tennis match where the stakes are 100 percent personal to a trio of one woman and two boys navigating power and gender dynamics they cannot hide from. A NatGeo-type of tale of the last gasp of the living remnants of the Sasquatch as they traverse American wildlife, making stupid and relatable decisions. The life of Mason from boyhood to 18 years of age; told and filmed over the years to best encapsulate the era of its present time and the markings of growing up in the United States.

#197 Civil War, River, The Guest

We begin this week by reviewing a film that is set on an American civil war with no context and focusing instead on the value of journalism and the nature of history and POV. We then arrive to a secluded town in Japan where the people are suffering from an endless time loop of the same 2-minutes with laughter and humility. Finally, we allow a guest into our home, who says his name is David but is hella menacing as he smiles and proceeds to kill your boss for that promotion you so richly deserve.

#196 Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, The Promised Land, Past Lives

We may say goodbye to winter but Frozen Empire says otherwise. Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire brings back the fun and funny from the original films but still falters from modern plot contrivances and boring villains. The Promised Land brings genuine intrigue into a man as he struggles to what he believes a man is supposed to be. This intimate story has heartache, suspense and stellar performances. Past Lives proves that love recognizes bounds and what those bounds are and how intricate they are is something that manifests amazingly in the protagonist and with the tragedy we call time.

#194 The Best Discoveries In 2023

This is the third and final countdown show before the break and to cap off 2023. Discoveries are anything (song, book, game, film, etc.) that we discovered in 2023 but from different years. It is our way to paint a personal top 10 as well as highlight different works that are new to us but worth talking about. We will be back around the Academy Awards ceremony; maybe after. Have a good break
