In this episode, we discuss The Nickel Boys, the powerful adaptation of Colson Whitehead’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, directed by RaMell Ross. The film dives into heavy themes of systemic racism and injustice in the 60s, told through a unique first-person perspective that sets it apart.

We talk about how this perspective adds depth to the storytelling and what it reveals about the characters’ experiences.

It’s a hard watch, but one that feels incredibly important.

In this episode, we dive into the new Bob Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown. With Oscar chatter around it, it's directed by James Mangold and based on the book Dylan Goes Electric! by Elijah Wald. With Timothée Chalamet leading the cast as Bob Dylan, alongside Edward Norton, Monica Barbaro and Elle Fanning, the film explores Dylan's rise as a folk artist and the evolution of his music in the 60's.

We talk about how the film introduces viewers to Dylan’s writing and music, blending his genius with moments of personal struggle. We also debate whether A Complete Unknown works best as a treat for longtime fans or if it serves as a compelling introduction to Dylan for everyone.

In this episode, we talk about Shiva Baby, a hilariously tense indie gem directed by Emma Seligman. Anainah shares her love for Rachel Sennott and how her brilliant performance carries the film through its claustrophobic chaos. We also dive into how Shiva Baby manages to feel so nerve-wracking yet absurdly funny at the same time. Plus, we explore the importance of Jewish representation (and representation in general) in cinema and how the film authentically portrays cultural identity in a small but meaningful way that resonates with audiences.

For this episode, we discuss We Live in Time by John Crowley. The romantic drama stars Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh and goes over terminal illness and relationships in a series of vignettes. We also differ in how we feel about the film's writing and execution and if it succeeds in what it attempts to say.
