  • Aftersun (2022)
    This month, one of our themes is “Catching Up” and we’re watching some of the acclaimed movies we missed last year and HOLY SHIT 2022 WAS POPPING OFF! This will probably end up being our most heavy hitter choices this month. Hell, this week is all bangers. We watched Charlotte Wells heart rendering debut feature film “Aftersun” starring Paul Mescal and Frankie Corio and Bob cried like a baby at the end. He also cried, on camera near the end of this discussion. Also, he cried again when he edited this episode. What a pussy. Go check this movie out. It’s something else. I gotta say, the 1 star google reviews for Tár were much funnier than the 1 star google reviews for Aftersun.

  • Crimes Of The Future (2022)
    This month we’re discussing movies about strange love as well as catching up on buzzworthy movies from last year and this film covers both. Our very first Cronenberg movie for the show and it’s the most recent and there’s wound fucking in it so what more do you need to know? We’re talking about David Cronenberg’s CRIMES OF THE FUTURE starring Viggo Mortensen, Lea Seydoux & Kristen Stewart. When you live in a world without pain, that leaves a vacuum that only horniness can fill. Also in that vacuum will come an organ that is regrowing that you have to keep cutting out. You’re gonna be bringing scalpels into the bedroom after you watch this piece of work. It’s body and tech, bruh. You know who made this. You ever fellate a wound before? I’ll stop.

  • Live And Let Die (1973)
    Every month or so we generate a movie completely at random to watch and discuss and we happened to land on our very first 007 movie , 1978’s “Live and Let Die” directed by Guy Hamilton and starring Roger Moore in his first role as James Bond. Angela grew up watching James Bond, Bob saw Goldeneye at the movies once 28 years ago and barely remembers it. How do we handle a fresh viewing of this adaptation of a pop culture icon? How bad of a person is James Bond? How many venereal diseases has this guy contracted? How come you never see the Bond girl he ends up with in the next movie? Is he killing them? He’s killing them, probably. We randomly generate another movie at the end for our next discussion.

  • RRR (2022)
    We’re starting off July HOT with a double theme and we’re reserving Mondays for movies from last year that had buzz that we have yet to see. We’ve been seeing some goods stuff lately and I don’t think July is gonna let up because we’re starting it off with S.S. Rajamouli’s new classic Telugu Indian epic “RRR” and holy shit it this something to see. Two Indian revolutionaries reimagined as great rivals, friends and superheroes. It’s a breezy 3 hours, it’s on Netflix (as of this writing) and holy shit that escape scene. Rajamouli’s movie hits where epic directors like Zack Snyder seem to miss. If it’s too fiery for you then, rest assured, there’s water power here too. And tiger power. And friendship fusion. And singing and dancing, of course.

  • My Beautiful Laundrette (1985)
    It’s time to say goodbye to this month’s theme, MOVIES ARE GAY, but we won’t be so cold about it like a department store purging all of it’s rainbow displays a day after the percieved profiteering window. We all know, deep in our hearts, that movies will always be gay. At least a little bit. We send off our theme with a movie that has an abundance of what so many modern movies lack, charm and charisma. We have an Honest-to-God, Gay Rom-com from 1985 and the layered commentary of race and class in Margaret Thatcher’s England doesn’t overshadow the romance with overt seriousness. A first generation Pakistani (Omar) reunites with a childhood friend turned racist street thug (Johnny) and they both revitalize a struggling launderette and rekindle a love for one another. It also happens to be Daniel Day-Lewis’s breakout role. We watched Stephen Frear’s “My Beautiful Launderette” and it’s a breath of fresh air and the perfect movie to end our Month with after all this sad shit we’ve recently watched. It’s on MAX if you want to check it out.

  • Mysterious Skin (2004)
    WARNING: THIS MOVIE AND DISCUSSION REFERENCE CHILDHOOD SEXUAL ABUSE
    Folks, we’re in the final week of MOVIES ARE GAY and if you thought we were gonna settle on Rainer Werner Fassbinder for our sad boy fix then you were very much mistaken. Joseph Gordon-Levitt (JoGoLe as his closest movie reviewer friends call him.) really went hard in the 2000s, and this movie he starred in alongside Brady Corbet was perhaps one of the starkest examples of the results of childhood sexual abuse ever put to film. One of JoGoLe’s best performances here in Gregg Araki’s 2004 flick “Mysterious Skin”. It’s fucked up. NGL. We promise to end MOVIES ARE GAY on a more upbeat note but this movie is incredibly sincere for its intensely descriptive subject matter. Unique and challenging. It’s worth your time if you can handle it. Hear us tell you all about it.

  • Pillow Talk (1959)
    As you probably know by now, MOVIES ARE GAY. While this movie doesn’t necessarily have a lot of gay subtext, it does star Rock Hudson The hunky Hollywood star who lived a closeted Hollywood life and sadly passed away of AIDS in the mid 80s. We reflect upon the late movie star and analyze his first hit film with close friend and on-screen partner Doris Day in Michael Gordon’s 1959 romantic comedy “Pillow Talk”. The duo have plenty of charm and there’s even an ironic gay reference along with an absolutely horrid original song sung by Doris Day that is truly obnoxious. The song didn’t even chart but this movie made gobs of money. By modern standards this movie made around 190 million. About 18x over its budget. Tony Randall is also in it and why the hell isn’t that diner scene readily available on YouTube as a clip? It’s weird as hell. He slaps Doris Day and gets punched in the face. Rock Hudson is gay therefore this movie is gay. Just go with it.

  • Fox And His Friends (1975)
    We keep on going down the yellow brick road because this month MOVIES ARE GAY and today we dive into a bleak and brutal selection from the prolific gay German director Rainer Werner Fassbinder. A young working class gay man, Fox, wins the lottery and becomes targeted by a couple of upper class gay cons into falling in love and spending off all of his winnings. Twisted emotions, brutal relationships and layers of class within gay life are examined in Fassbinder’s “Fox and His Friends”. That’s the English title anyway. The German title read something like “The Law of Freedom”. MOVIES ARE GAY and a lot of gay movies are sad but Fassbinder’s 1975 film finds some brutal character well beyond the surface identity that modern movies so easily congratulate themselves for. Honestly, we love sad shit like this.

  • At The Movies - The Flash (2023)
    Time to get to the movie theater once again for a superhero movie that is being dragged in the media for making a mere 130 MILLION DOLLAR OPENING WEEKEND. Yeah, it cost around 200 million but it seems like more people are just willing to wait for streaming and who can blame them? Yes, we watched “THE FLASH” by Andy Muschietti and starring the controversial Ezra Miller alongside some classic and contemporary DC movie actors. Somewhere within the nostalgia dump, the low chemistry and the questionable CGI choices lives a heartfelt, focused, story that was ultimately never meant to rise above the mediocrity. DC and Warner Bros. has done far worse, admittedly. Is it at least fun? Hear us out.
