Literally Anything the Podcast

It’s a Very Special Literally Anything this week, as we’re joined for our first-ever interview with Robert D. Krzykowski, writer and director of The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot (which we covered in episode 69). He was gracious enough to join us via Skype and talk about his film making experience and the themes of the film, and we’re grateful he could chat with us.

CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of suicide and depression at about 39 minutes.

Sign us up for the Carol Corp! It’s good to be back in the MCU after a long fall and winter, and even better to be back in the 1990s. It’s the first leading woman in a Marvel movie (after 20 films!) and it’s quite a romp. This week we’ll break down the Cap’n and how she sets up Avengers Endgame.

With Captain Marvel opening this week, it’s officially time to begin thinking about the upcoming summer movie schedule. The guys break down some of their most anticipated summer films as an antidote to the frigid temperatures outside.

With maybe the greatest title of all time, this surprisingly subdued movie welcomes us back from the land of Oscar-worthy materiel.

Robbed! ROBBED! We’re here with one last round of Oscar breakdowns with Spike Lee’s BlacKkKlansman. It’ll be obvious but we recorded this before Green Book took the Best Picture award away from this actually pretty thoughtful movie so your grandparents could pat themselves on the back for making racism go away.

The theme this week (other than Movies Tim Didn’t Watch) is comedy directors making Oscar grabs by making movies that have points. Join us on a road trip through the South that goes all the way to the White House with Green Book and Vice, two Serious Oscar-nominated Movies for Thoughtful People.

Don’t let the title fool you, we also talk about the Oscar-nominated A Night at the Garden. But mostly this is about Queen, Freddie Mercury, and the much-better-than-it-should-have-been Bohemian Rhapsody. If you haven’t watched the John C. Reilly parody Rock Hard, you might do well to give it a watch first also. Happy Oscar season!

CW: We discuss the allegations against Bryan Singer for a few minutes at about 17:40.

Welcome back, Frank! The Punisher returns for what we all assume will be his last outing, and it's a mixed bag of Russian blackmail, hyperviolence, and toxic masculinity.

The boys use Aquaman as an excuse to discuss the State of the DCEU-nion, and how (and if!) DC should proceed with their cinematic universe.

After a slew of guests, we’re back to a two-man production this week to explore the various narratives of Netflix’s experimental Bandersnatch. It’s hard to discuss since we had wildly different stories, but whatever version you watched, come break it down with us.
