My Wife Hates This

This week we look at Gus Van Sant's Palm D'or winner, the meditative school shooter drama Elephant. None of those things sound appealing to Rosie.

We're back from our break with Yorgos Lanthimos' first film, the nightmarish - I mean HILARIOUS COMEDY - Dogtooth.

Rosie loves zombies, and this week we watch Rowan's favorite zombie movie. Rosie takes umbrage with the campy nature, but when she has no choice but to watch will the movie win her over?

We sit down to watch Satoshi Kon's anime classic Perfect Blue, but Rosie worries that maybe she's going to like this one too much. Maybe we should watch something else?

Rosie is very not excited in the first movie for our tournament of favorites. Frankenhooker made it to the second round after audience voting, but will Rosie be able to survive this Frank Henenlotter classic?

We watch the most recent movie from a filmmaker Rowan loves and Rosie hates: Lars Von Trier. A brutal serial killer film, and something of a dark comedy, starring Matt Dillon. Rowan says he thinks it's Lars' best work. Will Rosie agree?

Rosie picks a film from Shudder, but will it go the way she has planned?

Rosie chooses one of the three films directed by Craig Zahler to watch, and her and Rowan have a very in depth discussion about race, racism, and art. Maybe not funny? Definitely makes us sound smart!

This week we dig into Rowan's Letterboxd list of Hidden Gems - movies with less than 500 ratings that he has given a 4/5 or higher. However, the choice to overturn these stones may not go well for either of our participants.

This week we sit down to watch John Wick 2. Rosie enjoyed the first film, but she also was not sober at the time. Now, with the stone cold eyes of abstinence, will she still enjoy watching Keanu murder literally hundreds of people?
