Pumpkin Spice! - "Highest 2 Lowest," "Caught Stealing," "The Paper" and More!


Listen Later

We'll be honest, none of these movies or streaming shows have anything to do with pumpkin spice. The title is simply there to get your attention, which all these shows could use. They're not awards bait (though there's a slight chance they may get some) and they're not heavily promoted. But still, they're worth cheking out. We start with "Highest 2 Lowest" which is a Spike Lee remake of a Kurosawa film your obnoxious friends may brag that they've seen. They're probably lying. Anyway, it stars Denzel Washington as a music mogul who is faced with a dliemma when a teenager is kidnapped. Bill McCuddy and Bill McCuddy both saw it and they'll let you know what they think. Then there's "Honey Don't" starring Margaret Qualley as a lebian private eye. Of course Bill Bregoli saw it. He also saw "Caught Stealing" starring Austin Butler as ex-baseball player Hank Thompson who unexpectedly finds himself embroiled in a dangerous struggle for survival amidst the criminal underbelly of 1990s New York City. Neil Rosen streamed "My Mom Jayne" which explores the life and legacy of Mariska Hargitay's mother, Hollywood icon Jayne Mansfield, who died tragically in a car accident at age 34 when Mariska was only three years old. Bill Mccuddy's been straming too and he tells us about "The Paper" which in which a documentary crew searches for new subject, finding a dying Midwestern newspaper and its publisher's efforts to revive it using volunteer reporters. Think "the Office" with newsprint all over its hands. He also watched the series "Blood" which IMDB tells us is about "old secrets, older betrayals, mind games, and the lies family tell each other." And not getting out of his chair. Mr. McCuddy also watched "Rebus" about a hardboiled Edinburgh cop with a tendency to bend rules. Meanwhile, Bill Bregoli keeps going to movie theaters where he saw a bizarre Ron Howard movie called "Eden," about a group of outsiders who settle on a remote island only to discover their greatest threat isn't the brutal climate or deadly wildlife, but each other. And if you want a movie to watch on Netflix with yur parents there's "The Thursday Murder Club." Oh, and Neil read a book about Elaine May. Plenty here, so listen in.
