Welcome to Movie Homework!

This week we take a look at Brazil, the 1985 film from Terry Gilliam.  Gilliam has shown up on a previous Movie Homework, The Fisher King, but Brazil is so uniquely its own experience that Jack decided it was too good an opportunity to pass up.  One of the more disturbing and overwhelming movies of the 80's, the boys talk influences, the films' infamous production and release history, and whether or not it still holds up to criticism the way it did for so many back in '85.

Next week on Movie Homework we will be covering David Lynch's Blue Velvet!

For this week's Aftertaste, I decided to give my fellow podcasters a break and bring in a friend of mine to talk a little Hollywood. Since the corona virus has pretty much caused a stand still in every day life, I wanted to know how Hollywood is going about coming back from it.

This is answered by Malvolia herself, the beautiful and funny Jennifer Nagle. We go over lots of things, such as what we've been watching in this stand still, what we've been listening to (hint, she's NOT listening to the Aftertaste), and how Jenn feels the reopening of Hollywood will be like. Will new procedures be in place where everyone on set has to be 6 feet apart? Will Brad Pitt be wearing a mask? What kind of creativity is going to come from this epidemic? What's going to happen to the theatrical experience?

These, and MANY more questions are answered, and I would like to thank Jenn a ton for taking time out to talk to me!

Come by next week when we begin our Scream Retrospective with Matthew Goudreau and Jim Law!

Episode 5 and 6 of the Last Dance dropped this past Sunday, and PJ is still angry.  The Boys also watched the E60 on Alex Smith's Leg, 'Project 11'.  If you haven't seen that, watch it.  But not while you are eating.  WWE without a Crowd? WEIRD

Before Star Wars, there was Bond. James Bond. It is a film franchise that has inspired everyone in in the industry from Steven Spielberg to Christopher Nolan to Rian Johnson. Eight actors have (unofficially) played the character over its almost sixty years in existence. And there is another one coming out this April. So what better time for the Binge Movie Aftertaste to gear up and cover a franchise that has been requested for years. Myself, Adam, and Matt are going to fire through a gun barrel the entire 26 film franchise, cultivating in a review of Cary Fukunaga's No Time To Die, which is being heralded as Daniel Craig's final bow as the character.

After Quantum of Solace, the James Bond franchise was once again at a stand still. Sure, they had their most well regarded pure actor in the role receiving a ton of accolades. But to say the second movie didn't live up to the potential of its previous entry would be an understatement. And once again, MGM was on the verge of losing to the IRS in the form of bankruptcy.

Yet, the Broccolis found a way to not only greenlight another film with Daniel Craig in the lead, the also got Oscar winner Sam Mendes to helm the movie. Skyfall was born and, when released, garnered almost as many good notices as Casino Royale, with 007 pundits predicting Oscar wins for their beloved secret agent. While gold statues in the major categories still alluded them, Skyfall did not come up short in the box office department, making over $1 billion in its initial run. Do we feel the huge box office is warranted? Listen to find out!

We also talk about when Mendes came back in 2015 to direct Spectre. This time they were armed with an Oscar winner in the role of Bond villain Franz Oberhauser. Or were they? Listen in as we spew a review in which we dissect a movie that was praised by many (including at least one person on this podcast) as being among their most anticipated of the year. Did it live up to the hype?

We would again like to thank one and all who took this Bond journey with us, and as a reminder, we will in fact give a week of release review of No Time To Die when it is finally released to theaters.

In the meantime, the Aftertaste isn't going away. Stay tuned for more retrospectives, and maybe even an interview or two.

It's all coming to a head as Jack & Alyx talk the season 5 finale of Better Call Saul, "Something Unforgivable".  The guys talk about how meme-able Lalo is, the snail's pace the show sometimes crawls at and come to the conclusion that Kim and Jimmy are professional snackers.

Thanks for listening!

Batch and Logan are back, and this time Logan has a fellow New Jersey native in tow with the question master himself, Warren Minnix. Warren brings his video game love into the conversation after Batch and Logan give their positive (?) thoughts on Bloodshot. All three of them talk Legos. What they want. What they wanna see. What Logan thought of the Lego Masters finale. Warren recommends Indie Video Games. Batch and Logan gloat over the new season of the Challenge. What? CT is superhuman. It works for the show.
