Haven‘t Seen It

We take a look at Logan Lucky, the dizzying cast of characters and performers that populate it (BLONDE DANIEL CRAIG ALERT), and where it stacks up in the extensive filmography of Steven Soderbergh. 

We find out if our shooting is a little rusty as we chat about Unforgiven, one of the best films of the 1990s. We have a wide ranging discussion on the brilliant character nuances and dynamite performances from the murderers row of acting talent in this movie, as well as a deeper discussion on Clint Eastwood's career and what this movie means in the grand scheme of things. What is Unforgiven ultimately about? All that and more! Enjoy!

We make our (semi) triumphant return by chatting about Young Adult (Charlize Theron, Patton Oswalt, Patrick Wilson), the sort of movie that is right up my alley. The resulting conversation took a number of turns. Subverting romcom tropes, cringe comedy, highly interpretable scenes, razor sharp dialogue, terrific performances ... this movie is ripe to be discussed and we hope you enjoy ours!

Matt and I raise our glasses and toast the 100th episode of the Haven't Seen It podcast. We briefly reflect on our podcasting experiences before diving into a little movie trivia game we whipped up that illicited laughter, possible ranting, possible thoughtfulness, and general revelry. We just let this one rip, and we got to talk about a ton of movies. 

Enjoy!!! 

Episode 99. 1999. David Cronenberg.

Tune in.

Matt explains why he finds this movie so fun and I try to process what I just watched (it was also mostly fun) as we chat about The Wild Bunch, the balls-to-the-wall Revisionist Western from the mind (and the eternally damaged liver) of Sam Peckinpah.

We talk about the production of this movie, the cutting edge filmmaking, and, of course, the booze. Oh, the booze. How drunk, exactly, are the people in this movie? We tackle important questions like this and much more. Hope you enjoy the convo!

Don't Look Up is the 2021 installment from the mind of Adam McKay and the route we took to this conversation was a bizarre one. But we do our damndest to tease the film apart, and also chat about why we suspect we had such different reactions to it.

We once again traverse into the filmography of Tim Burton by chatting Big Eyes, his 2014 dramatization of a true story about an artist (Margaret Keane, played by Amy Adams) and a con man/art maven (Walter Keane, played by Christoph Waltz). 

Is that distinct Tim Burton signarture imprinted on this movie, or could it be more accurately described as a screenwriting showcase for Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski (Ed Wood, People vs. Larry Flynt, Dolemite is my Name, Man on the Moon ...)? What did this movie remind us of? What does it mean to have the "soul of an artist"?

It was an absolute thrill to be joined by the brilliant David Pizarro of the incandescent Very Bad Wizards podcast to chat about the classic TNG episode,"Cause & Effect".

Temporal causality loops, the sensation of deja vu, Captain Kelsey Grammar ... and more! Go!

Temporal causality loops, the sensation of deja vu, Captain Kelsey Grammar ... we cover all that and much more in this one. Enjoy!
