Movies You Forgot You Forgot

This is not a film that Adam forgot he forgot. Clearly. This is all on Joe, Quentin Tarantino’s seminal, iconic, zeitgeist-changing, comically violent crime flick from 1994.
Starring John Travolta, Bruce Willis, Uma Thurman and Ving Rhames, it’s a flick of unforgettable moments and seared-in-the-mind dialogue. Not for Joe though.
The duo chat violence in movies, post-modernism, what a great film it is, Tarantino’s baffling insistence on appearing in his own films, and getting waylaid by foot massages along the journey.

The Cameron Crowe directed 2000 nostalgia music flick about a band on the run, starring Kate Hudson, Billy Crudup and Patrick Fugit, and featuring the late great Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Joe & Adam dig into director’s cuts, the fine differences between nostalgia for a general past time versus a nostalgia for being young (with added Chat-GPT for clarity/confusion), and this film’s missing heart of darkness.

What animal would you get turned into? Joe & Adam ponder The Lobster, Yorgos Lanthimos’ 2015 dry as a bone awkward sci-fi comedy starring Colin Farrell and Rachel Weisz.
Is the film all logic brain and no beating heart? There is much discussion of Lanthimos’ tone, and a great divide over whether Poor Things is good or not. 
Also: what is the narrative of Farrell’s career, what sound does a lobster make, and what animal is best to get turned into. As well, of course, there’s the usual business of the Box Office Game, and the Forgot You Forgot Picking the Next Film Game.

Joe and Adam delve deep into the big Oscar flick of 2011, the Tomothy Hooper directed royal flick The King's Speech. Starring Colin Firth and Helena Bonham Carter, the pair chat about how Oscar buzz ruined this film and managed to rediscover the pleasures herein. They also dig into Firth, and laser in on the narrative of his rise to power. 

In this special episode the MYFYF duo chat about the recent movies they’ve seen - but not before Joe tells a tale about his dad’s bedtime stories.
Also, the co-host reflects on the films he watched on his recuperation journey (all the Harry Potters, obviously), while Adam laments his time with Twisters. 
Plus plenty more in this not-so special ep that isn’t about movies we forgot we forgot, but just plain old movies.

M Night Shyamalan’s hokey but timely (at the time) spooky alien crop circle flick starting Mel Gibsons gets the Forgot You Forgot Treatment - but not before Joe tells his anecdote about Hans Zimmer.

Why was Mel such a big star, what’s up with the Culkins and the Fannings, and why can’t these aliens open doors?

David Fincher’s 2008 romantic fantasy, starring Brad ‘Bradley’ Pitt and Cate ‘Kate’ Blanchett, gets the Forgot You Forgot treatment. Joe gets swept up in the history of it, while Adam nitpicks the mawkish slog of it all. Also, what are the rules of this thing, and why does Joe love Wikipedia so much.

Joe & Adam return to the fine world of Ang Lee with the 2000 classic Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. What is Wuxia? How embarrassing were Adam's old mixtapes? Who are the most bankable actresses in the industry today? And why did Zhang Ziyi jump off the wrong mountain in the movie? All this and more on today's episode of Movies You Forgot You Forgot. 

I want us to be brothers again, like we used to be… Joe & Adam board Wes Anderson’s Darjeeling Limited (2007), starring Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody and Jason Schwartzman.
They consider style over substance; Joe shares his theory why some Wes works, and other Wes doesn’t, and they chat his acting troupe a bit. Adam also gets sidetracked by Tarantino and Joe gets Covid.

Don’t. Let. Go. We look to the stars for the 2013 Alfonso Cuaron-directed space spectacular, starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. 
Joe & Adam consider Cuaron’s penchant for oners, and Joe waxes wonderful on why he hit the Potter world so well. Adam… well, he’s less effusive and throws around phrases like ‘tin-ear for dialogue’ and ‘disappears up his own bottom’.
