#163 Triangle of Sadness, Watcher, The Bourne Identity

Halloween winds down with a hefty dose of horror flicks in Recent Discoveries and our review of a thriller. Watcher is about the unnerving feeling of being watched and becoming a watcher yourself as an American tourist; as a serial killer is on the loose, beheading women. Triangle of Sadness is a tearing down of the social order and class structure set on a yacht first, then on an island. Does power always corrupt? The Bourne Identity celebrates its 20th anniversary as a stellar and unique action film with a cool ‘amnesia’ premise.

#162 Amsterdam, Blonde, Silver Linings Playbook

This week, we tackle the loud and opinionated Blonde; a films about the late star Marilyn Monroe/Norma Jean. We also look into the films’ controversy, bombastic style and how and what it chooses to fictionalize a real person. We also dig into a double feature of David O Russell’s films. The first is his latest, Amsterdam; a period piece about a group of friends mired in a crazy conspiracy. We look back to ten years ago when Russell’s Silver Linings Playbook came out and we take stock in how good of a romantic comedy it is.

#161 Don’t Worry Darling, Samaritan, Beasts of the Southern Wild

This week, we follow the POV’s of a 1950’s housewife, an inner city boy and the queen of The Bathtub. Don’t Worry Darling provides some controversy but overall has a cool concept, good acting and a lackluster finale. Samaritan, the script stuck in the 90’s, has a 70-something year old Stallone repenting a possible superhero past life. Beasts of the Southern Wild is the indie darling of a decade ago; a film rife with style and muddy glamour as we see life in a post-Katrina landscape through the eyes of a powerful little girl.

#160 Barbarian, Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank, Django Unchained

This week, we begin volume two of the Anniversaries. Going back ten years three times, each of the hosts will get a chance at choosing one film to highlight a 10, 20 and 30th year anniversary. Django Unchained draws first blood, with large squibs included. Barbarian is a sleeper horror hit involving a house in the middle of nearly nowhere with a dark underbelly. Finally, Paws of Fury is a remake of the classic Blazing Saddles, which leads to an unfortunate blend of a movie that is too mature for kids and too infantile for adults.

#159 Seoul Vibe, We Met In Virtual Reality, The Batman

We begin this week with what feels like Korea’s answer to the Fast and Furious franchise. Seoul Vibe is a period piece set in the 1980’s about stylish criminals involved in way over their heads with police inspectors and drug lords and several car chases. We Met In Virtual Reality is a new type of film. It’s a documentary that follows the lives of several people; exclusively shot in virtual reality, specifically VR Chat. Lastly, we end our ‘Batathon’ with 2022’s The Batman; a true crime murder mystery for the soul of Gotham. Part Se7en and part Nolan: all cool.

#158 Bullet Train, The Sea Beast, The Lego Batman Movie 

This week, we travel to Japan, to Gotham City and the open sea. The Sea Beast brings heavy How to Train Your Dragon vibes with a more pronounced focus on history and equal in friendship-bonding. As part of the almost-over Batman marathon, The Lego Batman Movie is a force of comedic nature that rattles jokes at high speed and tears down the Batman/Bruce Wayne persona with ease. Finally, Bullet Train brings all the action to the yard with a colorful characters and layers of fun plot and choreography.

#157 Nope, Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, Batman: The Killing Joke

As late show due to a much needed vacation. This week’s show catches up on July with an in-depth review of Nope, heralding the latest in a very short list of great alien-horror films. Marcel the Shell is the character we may have wanted but needed. A mockumentary of the highest and cutest order with a wholesome wave of surprising humanity. As we approach the homestretch of our Batathon, we delve into The Killing Joke: a quintessential look into the Joker we know and unwisely love to this day.

#156 Thor: Love and Thunder, The Princess, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice

The final dreaded hump of the bloated Snyder-era Batman films comes to an end. While we did enjoy Ben Affleck’s rendition of both the caped crusader and Wayne, the severe over-plotting makes watching the film difficult. The Princess was a fun action romp that takes place primarily in a castle; using the urgency of the plot to drive nifty action scenes. The latest Thor wasn’t as great of a hit as its predecessor but we enjoyed the new one-off villain and some of the universe-building.

#155 The Black Phone, Petite Maman, Justice League: Doom

Continuing our Batman marathon, we review a film where Batman isn’t the main player, but a part of an ensemble. Justice League: Doom involves a doomsday scheme of turning weaknesses onto the heroes; simultaneously. Petite Maman is a wonderful tale of a young girl hanging out with her mom at the age of 8 and figuring out family dynamics, death; with an emotionally mature core. The Black Phone is the latest horror hit in theaters featuring a Stephen King-like setting, time period and supernatural flairs. While the film is ok, it did make us want to see and understand more on the killer.

#154 Lightyear, Crimes of the Future, Nolan’s Batman Trilogy

In the latest of our ‘Batathon’ we embark on Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy. We cover all three in succession and enjoy the realistic merits of this superhero retelling as well as scoff at some of the errors. Lightyear, Pixar’s latest, is a movie that exist in the world of Toy Story; which is a cool sci-fi premise all its own. While the adventure is fun (equipped with a memorable montage), it doesn’t meet the level of the production company’s top tier films. Crimes of the Future marks the latest and return of David Cronenberg; a bleak future where pain is gone and surgery is the new sex. Need I say more?
