Movie For Two

Anyone else want to "teenage the f**k up"?! In this episode of Movie For Two, we marvel at the staggeringly effective absurdity of the buddy cop comedy, '21 Jump Street'. In between the pretty regular laughter, we chat about the way this movie reimagines what is considered funny, discuss how it achieves a higher baseline for its gags, talk about how it drills into a train of thought literally everyone has had, and express our huge appreaction for the construct of woke, anti-bullying, environmentalist drug dealers.

"AHHH, MOVIE FOR TWO. WHEN YOU ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY GOTTA NAIL A MOTHERF***IN PODCAST, ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES". Honestly, we're not that arrogant, we just wish we could get Samuel L. Jackson to adapt his best line and say it like that for us. Until that happens (never), join us for a re-examination of the most un-Tarantino of all the Tarantino movies, 'Jackie Brown'. Up for discussion in a wide-ranging chat about an underrated 90s classic is: whether this movie is a Tarantino-y 'Ocean's 11', why this role is so unique for De Niro, how this film laid some groundwork for 'Breaking Bad', whether waffles are the most powerful food, and why Louis and Melanie should get back together for a stoner YouTube mini series.

In self-isolation we're all in a coma of sorts, so why not tackle a coma movie?!?! In this episode of Movie For Two, we, just like 'The Big Sick', find rays of light and humour against a rather bleak and frustrating backdrop. While chuckling along to the movie's array of quirky and sharp lines, we discuss the film's unique arc and concept, chat about its relatability that's delivered by genuinely real characters, ask whether the whole movie defies description or categorisation, and wonder whether Emily should be getting free post-coital Uber rides.

Forget "Welcome to Juarez", this is "Welcome to, well, ummmm... Juar-antine"? In this episode of Lunacy For Two, (yes you read that correctly) we decide to throw ourselves into the incredibly dark drug-war thriller, 'Sicario', in order to match our mood as the nothingness of self-isolation sets in. With our TV equally as scared as us, we discuss this movie's less-is-more approach, chat about its unique delivery in an otherwise over-saturated genre, have our hairs stood up by the film's epic score, ponder whether we need a hygiene-attentive friend like Reggie, and ask whether Josh Brolin is the world's outstanding candidate for a remake of an Aussie classic.

Get your perm on, people! In this episode of the pod, we dive into the daring and dazzling who's-conning-who drama set in the 1970s, 'American Hustle'. While playing a bunch of the pop-music bangers from the movie's Grammy-nominated soundtrack, we chat about an ensemble of stars being let off the leash, Christian Bale's incredible transformation, David O. Russell as a zany Scorsese, Dani's shared experience with microwaves, and why this movie could empower a few to get out the hair rollers. Also, we've run out of beer in isolation!

This is unquestionably the most fun we've had doing an episode so far. So in these strange times of isolation and day-time drinking, come and join us while we chat about idyllic Manhattan, DM sliding, elderly cameos from 'Superbad' stars, fake orgasms, wagon wheel coffee tables and, just more generally, the greatest rom-com ever.

WE'RE BACK!! After an unusually long break between episodes, we return as an unemployed pair wanting to fill the void in these strange times. In this episode we immerse ourselves in the ultra cool facade of Glenn Ficarra and John Requa's crime comedy, 'Focus'. While Dani drools over her Will Smith deep dives on YouTube, we chat about this movie's escapism, discuss why this is a strangely unique role for Margot Robbie, and ponder why two expert thieves are constantly being stolen from.

"Bok Bok B**ch". In this episode of Movie For Two, we rewind to the massively significant moment for Asian representation in Hollywood that was the hilariously funny and visually stunning 'Crazy Rich Asians', the first all-Asian cast in Hollywood in a quarter of a century. Whilst chuckling over all Peik Lin's killer one liners, we discuss the burden this movie shoulders as a trailblazer, chat about its family-nonsense relatability beyond all the excess, and find solace in movie characters who, like one of us, also hate bucks parties.

We've all got a shot at a silver lining! In this episode of Movie For Two, we chat about the incredibly charming and insanely underrated film from David O. Russell, 'Silver Linings Playbook'. Up for discussion is Jennifer Lawrence's coming of age, De Niro's late-career gem, the unusual but effective look at a genuinely everyday America, and how Dani wants to work on her sports knowledge to be at the same level as J-Law and her on-point sports rants.

"This s**t is bananas!" In this episode of Movie For Two, we soak ourselves in the magnificence of the music-based thrill ride that is Edgar Wright's 'Baby Driver'. We chat about how unique this is as a concept, its cool factor when it arrived, how this movie is more like a concert or a kitchen party than a movie, Jamie Foxx's unreal performance, where the opening scene ranks all time and why Baby would be a bloody handy friend to have around. Oh, and we say "bananas" a lot.
