Get Your Film Fix

December begins! We kick off what is sure to be the 2020's greatest month for cinema with...Hillbilly Elegy?  It's no surprise this Oscar bait has not been received as Netflix and director Ron Howard intended, but what do Lee and Chapin think?  Do the performances from Amy Adams and Glenn Close live up to the hype?  Should Opie hang up his spurs?  

Then we chat briefly about the films were most excited for in the coming months!

This week we continue our review of the year 2000 with The Coen Brothers' O Brother, Where Art Thou? starring George Clooney, John Turturro and Tim Blake Nelson.  

Then, Lee and Chapin put all 18 of the Coens' films into 5 categories: "Cinematic Jerkoff", "Great, but not Tier 1", "Probably anybody else's best movie", "Good effort/Interesting experiment", and "I Hate the Coens."

Martin Campbell's GoldenEye came out 25 years ago TODAY!  And we thought we'd give our audience a little taste of Bond with the ongoing delay of No Time to Die leaving 007 fans wanting.  How does the film hold up?  Is it as good as the N64 game?  And where can we meet a lady like Xenia Onnatopp? 

Finally, we count down our Top 5 Action moves!

In honor of Sean Connery, we jump back 30 years to the end of the Cold War to search for...the Red October!  We talk about the popular action film from director John McTiernan (which somehow Jeremy and Lee had never seen), its standing among sub films and the film's monumental stakes.  

Finally, we wrap this episode up with an update on some major Hollywood moves that could have us seeing some of this year's delayed films sooner than we expected...

In 2000, And Lee's Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon arrived on U.S. shores and left with multiple Oscar nominations and a huge box office performance.  But why did this film resonate so powerfully with Americans?  How does it hold up now?  

We then move on to a discussion of the state of cinema in the time of coronavirus.  With the move of most of the 2020 film slate to 2021, what does this mean for these films and films to come?

It won Best Picture and Best Director at the Oscars, not to mention some other awards, but does Mel Gibson's historical epic hold up to 21st century scrutiny?  We dive into 1995 and finish the episode off with some trivia from 25 years ago....

I'm Thinking of Ending Things.  Interpret that however you wish. And that's what we attempt to do this week as we try to unravel the newest film from writer/director Charlie Kauffman. The film is available on Netflix and at the very least, will leave you eager to hear our thoughts!
