Film is Lit

A film with Jesse Plemons AND Jessie Buckley?!?!? An ABUNDANCE of Jessies! Today on the pod, Laura and Danny review Canadian author Iain Reid's existential psychological thriller (or at least that's what we are labeling it) "I'm Thinking of Ending Things", and Charlie Kaufman's Netflix adaptation of the same name.  We ask the tough questions: What does it mean to be alive? How do our past relationships define us? Why would anyone order a milkshake in a snowstorm? Well...what are you waiting for? Download and listen now!....(if you want to).

Thanksgiving 2020 kind of resembled "The Martian" right? - lonely, separated from your friends and family, the outside world trying to kill you...and an abundance of potatoes! On this episode, we are joined by Danny's older brother Matt in discussing Andy Weir's 2011 modern sci-fi classic, "The Martian", and the 2015 Matt Damon vehicle of the same name. Just like Mark Whatney with NASA, we communicate with Matt via a webcam separated by thousands of miles of distance. Listen as we science the sh$t out of this book and movie!

We have more Austen and more Sean Flory! Listeners, welcome to episode 2 of season 3, during which Laura and Sean finally convince Danny that Jane Austen is the best writer of all time. Emma (1815) is one of Austen’s greatest novels, so to see it so well adapted to the silver screen by Autumn de Wilde is a humbling treat. Happy Holidays!

Let the bloodbath commence!! Welcome to Part II of our “11/22/63” episode, focusing on the 2016 miniseries. Listen...the only reason to watch this show is to scoff at it. Hopefully our scathing review of how it does NOT uphold the source material is entertaining and enlightening enough to convince everyone not to watch it!

Listen…when talking about “Girl on the Train,” it’s impossible not to compare it to Gillian Flynn’s “Gone Girl.” And unfortunately, it just doesn’t hold a candle. However, we still have a fun conversation about the book and movie in episode 019! If you liked Paula Hawkins’ 2015 thriller or Tate Taylor’s 2016 movie, come at us with a full-fledged defense because we’re ready to go to bat.
