CCP - The Caleb & Cathy Podcast

This week we watched the indie movie, The One I Love. We dissected the movie’s plot (spoilers and all) by discussing our theories on the ending, explaining why this movie was unique and a thinker, and going into the character’s motivations for staying. The One I Love will keep you on your toes with all its thrilling twists and turns. Plus, Mark Duplass is in it and we love him on this podcast.

This week for the podcast we watched the 2018 film, If Beale Street Could Talk which is a screen adaptation of James Baldwin's novel. We discussed whether we agreed with the directorial choices, Caleb compared his experience with reading the book, and we analyzed the film's relevance to current societal issues. This is a thinker, folks.

This week we watched the indie film, On the Rocks starring Rashida Jones and BIll Murray. From mixed racial messaging to rich people problems, this movie left us feeling conflicted. That being said, the topic of emotional and physical affairs affect on a person's livelihood comes up in this movie and led to discussion on both ends.

This week for the podcast we watched the horror film, The Blair Witch Project. The movie took a unique and somewhat believable approach to constructing a scary movie. We outline the movie by going through the interviews at the beginning, the hike, and the dramatic ending. Caleb debuts his Scale of Believability and Cathy ponders whether all horror films are like this one.

This week we discussed the 2016 film, Operator. Operator is like Her only not as good. We didn't have a lot to say about this movie, but we try our best.

This week we discussed the indie film, The End of the Tour. The End of the Tour is about Rolling Stones reporter, David Lipsky's five day interview with author, David Foster Wallace as Wallace ends his Infinite Jest book tour. In this episode we have a serious discussion regarding Wallace's legacy as a writer and philosopher. We analyze whether or not we agree with the perameters of the interview and dive into the different themes of the movie (addiction, self image, and loneliness). While we may not have liked this movie equally, it led us to have a deep conversation.

In this episode we discuss two relationships that occur in the film, In a Relationship. We go into the issues each couple had, whether this movie was memorable, and which partner is least likeable.

This week we examined another Jason Reitman film and he is quickly becoming one of our favorite directors. We give our expertise on parenting, as two people with no children, and discuss the forgotten trials of youth.

Editor's note: Newton can be heard chowing down on his breakfast during the introduction of the podcast, we apologize for any auditory inconvience this may cause.

This week we analyzed the movie, The Last Word. We made connections to obituaries, discussed character's motivations and growth, and predicted what our "wildcard" will be.

This week we discuss the indie film, The Boy Downstairs. We talk about our minor musings and analyze this movie 's themes and character motivations.
