We are correctly doing something this week when we eat some Brooklyn pizza and discuss Do the Right Thing. Is Mookie the perfect unlikable protagonist? Is Sal the reason Pino is an a-hole? Who is doing right and who is doing wrong? Can we fully answer any of these questions? No, but that’s the point. We admire Spike Lee’s use of duality in every character and cinematography that captures moments of tension and heartbreak with precision. Spike Lee’s ability to write and direct such a thought-provoking movie that is still relevant thirty-four years later is outstanding and harrowing at the same time. Hell you Talmout! Say their names!

Welcome to our nightmare where we eat small chickens and salad then discuss Eraserhead. Blake and Brandon try to decipher meaning in a possibly meaningless movie as the crew delves into the strangeness of David Lynch’s choices. Maybe he was just a dad going through some stuff. Does that explain the chicken-fish baby? Who knows? After we’ve picked all the meat off of this cult classic and the surreal chickens are left bare-boned, this is a movie that Jose just can’t sink his teeth into.

What was that? Oh, it was just Jimmy destroying our roof again. We better have his mom fix it before we eat eggs, purple flurp (grape soda), cotton candy, and popcorn then discuss Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius. This nostalgic film brings back some memories of youth for Blake and Jose, not so much for Brandon who wants a smarter film. Go Jimmy, Jimmy that’s the voice I hear inside. Straight up, come along for the ride… It’s Dinner with a Movie time.

Remember, remember the last week of September when we ate eggies in the basket and tea and biscuits before we discussed V for Vendetta. Jose and Brandon are adamant that the love interest between V and Evey is out of place and unneeded and Blake has issues with coincidences used to prove you’re the puppet of a higher power. We like the energy and the story but also expected a few more surprises from the detective work that is supposed to connect everything together. Now we have to put on some masks, strap on a metal plate, blow something up, and remember, remember to hide our kinky art and the entrance to our secret lair.

This week, we eat potato soup, rice pudding, and oranges before we discuss Torch Song Trilogy. We connect with this seminal film about a gay man's search for family on many different levels. Arnold’s interesting way of looking at things makes him one of the greatest characters we have ever encountered. Per his advice, we were careful not to fall into an elevator shaft, skinny dip in a school of piranha, or accidentally douche with Drano on the way to the set. Arnold, Alan, Ed, Ma, and David draw us into their world in search of love and respect. It’s rare to find a film that truthfully captures the emotions of its characters. Harvey, you’re brilliant and we want more.
