Kriss and Ro are back to talk about Movies with our new Movie Talk podcasts. This will be a show where we talk about movies from the past and present that we enjoy. Not really reviews, just a conversation about movies that we like to watch. For this first episode we talk a pair of movies from our childhood, Rob Reiner’s Princess Bride and Mel Brooks’ Robin Hood Men in Tights. These are two films we love for very similar reasons that have become cult classics. We discuss why we love these films and what it says about today’s films and audiences.

On our next episode we’ll be talking about the films Weapons and Backrooms.

It’s the 3rd film in the supposedly 5 film never-ending Na’vi Narrative Avatar franchise and it’s expected to make another 2.5 Billion dollars on a 400 Million dollar budget because despite having a story that cherry picks not only it’s favorite tropes about pushing back in colonization, but this time it’s borrowing straight from the indigenous groups that James Cameron has been walking amongst recently, for good and possibly for offensively bad.

One of the smartest things I did this year was give this film a 2nd chance viewing.  Initially, I didn’t give Good Boy the attention it deserved but saw other critics raving about how good it was.  I went back in for round 2 and was knocked off my feet.  Indy (the dog) carries this film with an adorable, heartwarming while terrifying performance.  I just to wanted to reach through the screen and save Indy from all the bad things and you will too!  

Check out our review to get all the deets about Indy and what made make their film and the performances so endearing.

HIM is a film with messaging about Fanship vs Worship, the sacrifice of Mind, Body, and Soul for sports, and cognitive disassociation that comes with being an pro-athlete and more specifically one committed to the brutalities of American Football.  But does it stick the landing with all this messaging?  All the praise to Kira Kelly for these visuals! 

Check out our review to find out.

The Long Walk is one of the better ensemble castings this year, with deep rooted character development amongst a group of mostly charming young men who have felt the need to make the ultimate sacrifice.  It fits right in line with how King’s tales delicately handle camaraderie in dystopian dramas where people are subjected to horrific outcomes while striving for new hope. 

Check our our review to hear while Brandon can’t wait to experience this beautifully tragic film again.
