Medium Literate

This week we're talking about the long awaited buzzy new sequel to the 2006 classic. In the years between, the villain has switched from mean boss to a media landscape run by billionaires, but the clothes are still fun. We also get into our thoughts on basic modern movie theater manners.

Mother Mary (A24) had one of the most exciting casts of the year with Anne Hathaway and Michaela Coel. Despite that, Monika and Emily have complicated feelings about this movie.

They'll talk about it all!

✅ Having a complicated creative history with someone

✅ A ghost made of red fabric

✅ How the whole movie feels like it was meant to be a stage play

What worked? What didn't? What did the ending mean? (please, we're really asking!)

Sirāt just hit Hulu and if you've seen it you already know why we had to cover it. 

We break down one of the most shocking and emotionally devastating films in recent memory, a movie that starts in one place and ends somewhere you will never see coming. 

Come process this with us.

Spoiler warning big time with this one!

We also get into Emily's takes on The Mummy, Faces of Death and Our Hero Balthazar, and Monika covers The Christophers, Mile End Kicks and Normal.

Any romantic comedy released in theaters is something to support, and luckily You, Me & Tuscany is an incredibly charming one. Monika and Emily talk through the whole sun-drenched, low-conflict, mistaken-identity-driven plot, plus the state of the rom-com in general in today's movie landscape.

A24's The Drama left us with a lot to say.

It's a dark comedy with a twist that will make you question every character's morality, a cast that is stacked, and some interior design that has us drooling?
