Movie Go Round

In this Movie-Go-Round Around the World, David picked an iconic film. Shot in Italy, by an Italian director, with an Italian crew and mostly Italian cast, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly legitimately qualifies as this cycle's Around the World pick. Clint Eastwood's most respected spaghetti Western features three antiheroes and an iconic (if sporadic) score. Did our panel enjoy it? Can greedy outlaws be engaging leads? What's with the sympathy for the Confederacy? Come listen and argue with us mentally!

In this Movie-Go-Round Future Classics, Brett proposed Guillermo's gooey Crimson Peak! Del Toro brought this Gothic romance to the screen, but couldn't resist throwing in some good old-fashioned cholera ghosts and head bashing. Did David find the spectres scary? Did Nicole ever shut up about kissing techniques and the Hiddlebutt? Join us for this episode of Movie-Go-Round and find out!

Next week's pick is an Around the World pick! David chose 1967's The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

In this Movie-Go-Round Netflix Roulette, Netflix brought this 2015 movie out of left field. _Zoom _features three interconnected stories, one of them animated, about self-image and artistic expression. In a possibly overthought twist, each story's protagonist is the creator of one of the others. Join us as we try to sort out all the threads, even as they unravel in our hands, to try and figure out what this movie is trying to say, and why anyone would think a sex doll would make a good drug mule.

Next week's pick is a Future Classics pick! Brett chose 2015's Crimson Peak.

In this Movie-Go-Round Netflix Roulette, Nicole kicked things off with her New to Two pick, the Hitchcock comedy The Trouble with Harry. But the humor was quite dark for its time, as Hitch tells the story of one dead man and the three people who are each sure that they’re the one who has murdered him. Brett and David watched the movie for the first time, and asked such questions as, Would bigger stars have detracted from the story? Was this movie ahead of its time? And why is everyone so cool with murder? Join us as we fawn over a dewy Shirley MacLaine and marvel over a town that is so blasé about a corpse.

Next week's pick is a Netflix Roulette pick! The Netflix gods chose 2015's Zoom.

In this Movie-Go-Round You Did This to Us, you all picked Reign of Fire! It was terrible. It was awesome. It was awesomely terrible. It was terribly awesome. Join us as we dig into this big pile of molten cheese and ask, How did the scenery survive with Matthew McConaughey chewing on it so hard? How did the male dragon fly with so many holes in his wings? How did this movie get made with so many holes in its plot? Why doesn’t Brett love this movie the way David and Nicole do? Come find out!

Next week's pick is a New to Two! Nicole's pick is The Trouble With Harry.

In this Movie-Go-Round Around the World, Nicole was very excited to choose this round’s pick. She couldn’t resist this one any longer: Train to Busan. This recent Korean spin on the zombie/”infected” genre brought a propulsive energy and all the feels to a horror category that most people (including Nicole) had thought was played out. Join us as Nicole, David, and Brett talk about this high-speed human and undead drama on rails!

Next week's pick is a You Did This to Us vote! What did you all vote on? We're watching Reign of Fire.

In this Movie-Go-Round Future Classics, David brought us our latest nominee for a Future Classic: 2012's Looper. This noir sci-fi thriller plays with time travel and the concept of communicating with yourself, both across time and in person. We dig deep, discussing the problems of time travel and how movies solve them, the performances by Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis playing the same man at different ages, and the big question: What happens when you piss off a telekinetic six-year old?

Next week's film is Nicole's Around the World pick! We're watching 2016's Train to Busan.

In this Movie-Go-Round Netflix Roulette, the wheel came up with the Hong Kong film Phantom of the Theatre. This variation of the Phantom of the Opera included dead acrobats and an inventive method of murder instead of singing. David, Brett, and Nicole watched this somewhat draggy tale about a director, an ingénue with a mysterious past, and an overly elaborate scheme for revenge. Come join us as we find the fun bits and pick apart the bad bits and gloss over the boring bits in between!

Next week's film is David's Future Classics pick! We're watching 2012's Looper.

In this Movie-Go-Round,New to Two Brett brought us Liev Schreiber’s sole directorial work, Everything Is Illuminated What starts as an aggressively quirky story of a shy, compulsive collector turns into something much deeper as he takes a journey to learn about a woman who saved his ancestor. David and Nicole watched it for the first time, and all three of us talked about things like the movie’s dramatic shift in tone, Liev Schreiber’s choices as a director, drivers with seeing-eye bitches, and the weirdness that is Gogol Bordello. Check it out!

Next week's film is a Netflix Roulette pick! We're watching Phantom of the Theatre, a 2016 fantasy horror film.
