- Episode 32: Vickie and Bertie Forever
This week we watched the 2009 biopic The Young Victoria, which, despite making negative money, remains a treat. Emily Blunt and Rupert Friend have pretty great Victorian chemistry, and Paul Bettany makes a divine Lord M.
0 min - Episode 31: Mandl
This week we watched Yentl, which was directed and produced by its female lead, Barbra Streisand. The plot is grade A feminist goodness, and Mandy Patinkin out here makin' us sweat, but overall it was a little slower and more glum than we expected.
1 hr - Episode 30: Honestly, Amigo!
This week we revisited a formative movie for Lindsay: the 2001 Baz Luhrmann glitter-fest Moulin Rouge. It does way too much at basically every turn, and neither of us has the energy to match this film this week, but we gave it our best shot.
1 hr 19 min - Episode 29: Calamity By Your JaneThis week we watched what was for some reason a childhood favorite of ours: Calamity Jane. It was far more problematic than we remembered, but there were still a few songs in it that totally slapped.1 hr 22 min
- Episode 28: Alan Turing, your company's computer guyThis week we rewatched 2014 Oscar contender The Imitation Game, which was... eh. It's fine. It told what I'm sure is actually a pretty boring story in as compelling a fashion as it could, but a few hacky screenwriting tricks stuck in our craw.1 hr 18 min
- Episode 27: Clue, but pissier
This week we watched the 2001 Robert Altman film Gosford Park (based on an idea by Robert Altman and Bob Bob Bob, Bob-Balaban). It was packed full of lots of brilliant British actors, plus Ryan Philippe for some reason? Anyway, it's pretty good, very labyrinthine, and we're both convalescing this week, so... this is a scattered recap.
1 hr 3 min - Episode 26: Jack NASTY!This week we watched Ang Lee's heartbreaking 2005 film Brokeback Mountain, starring Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal.1 hr 25 min
- Episode 25: Henry and Eleanor's Large Adult SonsThis week we watched the 50 year old The Lion in Winter, about the scheming large adult sons of the Plantagenet dynasty while they fight over who gets to inherit the throne. There are witty one-liners thrown around at a shocking speed.1 hr 14 min
- Episode 24: [JANE-UARY] Dense and DensibilityThis week we watched Ang Lee's 1995 version of Sense and Sensibility, starring Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet, Hugh Grant, and Alan Rickman (RIP). The movie is honestly pretty good (even though it's a Jane Austen adaptation).1 hr 10 min
- Episode 23: [JANE-UARY] Badly done, EmmaThis week, as a continuation of Jane-uary, we watched one of TWO (that we know of) 1996 renditions of Emma. This one was a favorite of Lindsay's at one point, but on closer inspection... why? Listen to see where we come down on this one (spoiler: meh).1 hr 26 min
