Lost in Observation

Ray and Alice are back with another catch-up to discuss some of the films (and TV shows) we've seen recently - Possession (1981), EEAOO (2022), The Batman (2022), Drive My Car (2021) and After Yang (2021), along with our usual life updates. Tune in now and look for the surprise cameo from Alice's dog!

Ray and Alice are back and hot from Melbourne's summer heatwave. We discuss some of the films we've seen recently - The Matrix Resurrections (2021), Licorice Pizza (2021), The Worst Person in the World (2021), Dune (2021) and Better days (2019), alongside the usual life updates. Tune in now!

We're back! Alice and Ray return from a busy December to give an update on their lives. We also briefly discuss some of the movies we're watched recently - Suspiria (2018), Shang-Chi (2021) - as well as some other 2021 releases we're looking forward to. Wishing everyone a good and safe holiday season and a Happy New Year! Look forward to more episodes from us in 2022.

Alice and Ray take several random (but usually relevant) turns in analysing Netflix's newest most watched series, Squid Game (2021). We discuss whether the show truly lives up to its hype, whilst also providing some very real updates on life and Melbourne lockdown!

Alice and Ray tackle their first foreign language Japanese film, Juzo Itami's Tampopo (1985). This film did a lot with quite little - we found it quirky, whimsical, charismatic and ultimately, a celebration of life and pursuit. Have a listen now!

This week we have a look at the black comedy / horror / satire film American Psycho (2000). A lot to unpack with this one surprisingly despite its short run time and hard to look pass a standout performance from Christian Bale. We both really liked this one, so listen now to hear our thoughts, and for some non-COVID related life updates!

Alice and Ray chat about the quirky, whimsical movie Amélie (2001), directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet. After a series of pretty heavy movies, this was the change we were looking for. It's not perfect, but it is certainly feel-good. Also, finally some movement on the COVID-19 situation in Melbourne!

In light of the recent news and trailer surrounding the fourth Matrix movie, Alice and Ray decide to have a look at the original 1999 movie, The Matrix. With groundbreaking action and novel ideas, it's no surprise that this is one of Alice's favourite movies of all time. Listen now to hear all our thoughts and for some light (and positive) updates about our lives in lockdown!

This week Alice and Ray discuss something that is actually(!) different - 2013's Blue is the Warmest Colour. The unanimous winner of the Palme D'Or in 2013, we were completely floored by the performances (Ray for the first time) and could definitely see why this film was a deserved winner. Listen now to see what we also think of all the controversy surrounding the movie!

Alice and Ray are back with a throwback to Pixar's Inside Out (2015). This is a surprisingly deep movie, which we believe truly deserves its praise and paved the way for movies like Soul (2020). Also, some updates (or lack thereof) as to the COVID-19 situation in Melbourne.
