Caleb and new guest Riley Polito dance their way through the Aronofsky psycho thriller Black Swan. Our thoughts when we saw the film together in theaters about 14 years ago, and how it compares to watching now. We discuss the villains in the film and their varying levels of evil, the very weird mom/daughter relationship in the film, the mom’s similarities to another iconic movie mother. Plus, Caleb learns what a prima donna is and we discuss and discover a few of the film’s parallels to Swan Lake.

We watch The Sure Thing, the second movie in our summer road trip series. What Cusack’s teenage adoption has to do with the film. The charm of an early, unpolished Reiner film, and his old-fashioned world view. How raunchy was this movie? Zuniga’s surprising performance, and the tragedy of Princess Vespa. What happened to John Cusack? FInally, we rate this as a road trip movie out of five mini vans.

This week Ian and Caleb salute the idealistic Americana of Frequency. We try to decide if Caveziel is a good actor. Also, is this a baseball movie? We express our respect to Quaid for committing to the accent. Michael Cera steals the scene. Plus, truly one of the most insane Letterboxd reviews we’ve ever read - it’s really worth skipping to the end for at the very least.
