The Marvel universe plunges yet again into a multiverse with "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania," in which Paul Rudd's Ant-Man character and his family members again find themselves immersed in the Quantum realm. HCC film professors Marie Westhaver and Mike Giuliano discuss this third "Ant-Man" film in a podcast episode in which Marie enjoyed being surrounded by all of the special effects and Mike instead felt trapped by them. Marie and Mike agree that the script's treatment of its characters was not always satisfying, namely, what is Bill Murray doing in the Quantum realm? Marie and Mike also discuss "Cocaine Bear," which is, yes, loosely based on an actual 1985 incident in which a bear ingested a smuggler's cocaine dumped in a forest. Although Marie and Mike did laugh a lot at the silliness here, the movie's extreme violence did bother them at times.

HCC film professors Marie Westhaver and Mike Giuliano are agreeably at odds in this podcast episode as they discuss "80 for Brady" and "Magic Mike's Last Dance." Although they agree that it's great to watch Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, Rita Moreno and Sally Field together on screen as elderly fans of football quarterback Tom Brady, Mike was less taken by some of the corny humor. They also agree that Tom Brady is very good at playing himself in a movie that he produced. Marie and Mike also disagree about "Magic Mike's Last Dance," the third film in a series featuring Channing Tatum as a stripper. In this final installment, he is hired by Salma Hayak Pinault to restage a London theater production. Mike (not to be confused with Magic Mike) was bothered by what he deemed a weak script, but Marie loved, well, you can imagine what she loved about Channing Tatum's stage production.

In this podcast episode, HCC film professors Marie Westhaver and Mike Giuliano discuss two new films that are remakes of classic films. Polish director Jerzy Skolimowski's "Eo" is a remake of French director Robert Bresson's 1966 film "Au Hasard Balthazar." It's an episodic story about a donkey and its mistreatment at the hands of a succession of human owners. Marie and Mike found it to be very moving and deserving of its Academy Award nomination for best international film. Speaking of Academy Award nominations, "Living" has received nominations for Bill Nighy as Best Actor and Kazuo Ishiguru for best adapted screenplay. It's a remake of Japanese director Akira Kurosawa's 1952 film "Ikiru," which concerns a dying bureaucrat who wants to ensure that a playground is built. Marie and Mike also like this remake a lot.
