  • Apollo 10 1/2

    Apollo 10 1/2 takes us through a fictional space mission taken by a young boy to help NASA astronauts land on the moon by taking a smaller prototype for a measly test walk on the moon. Along the way, our now much older narrator gives a slice of 60s Americana from his perspective, warts and all.


    Keith, Tim, and Aaron talk about the use of animated rotoscoping, targeting films for older demographics, and the effectiveness of non-linear story telling in this nostalgic review.

  • Windfall
    Windfall is about a quick theft going awry when a house burglar comes face to face with the billionaire husband and wife who own the luxurious estate. Keith, Aaron and Tim chat about the awkward humor, if they bought the choices character's made at the conclusion, and more.

  • The Power of the Dog

    Spoilers abound as we discuss Jane Campion's masterful Western/Hitchcockian thriller The Power of the Dog. It's the rare movie that turns out at the end to be a completely different movie — and even in a completely different genre — than we thought at the beginning. 


    We explore questions like: 


    —who or what "the dog" of the title is


    —performative masculinity


    —whether there's a bad guy


    —Peter's sexuality


    —whether Rose was ever good at piano


    We hope you enjoy listening this conversation as much as we enjoyed having it.
