Repeat Viewing

The season of new films dropping left and right to streaming platforms continues, and we have more hot first take action, as we dive into Pixar's latest, Soul. As creatives, we found quite a lot to cover in this first look at the film, and not doubt we missed a lot too! We dig into the very nuanced, personal themes, the boundaries it breaks for Pixar animation, and the important, powerful cultural elements that help make this film not just relatable, but ultimately universal.

Happy 2021 everyone! Like many of you, we opened our Christmas Present of Wonder Woman '84 on the day it was released. So how did it add to our holiday? How does it add up to the first WW and other recent DC films? Plus, we talk briefly about other strong female characters with Stargirl, and the Amazon original film I'm Your Woman.

Our final episode of 2020 brings another original film from a major streaming platform, with the Amazon original drama, Sound of Metal. We breakdown the phenomenal use of sound, the intensely focused and connected acting, and the painfully relatable plight of an independent creative person who encounters serious life challenges.

Happy New Year Repeat Viewers! Thank you for making our year memorable and encouraging. Wishing you a great 2021!!

With the 3rd season of Cobra Kai dropping on Netflix as our first treat of 2021, this episode from our Patreon feed was poised and ready for the All Valley Tournament. We chat about the different themes playing out between different characters across the overall show, what it borrows from the formula in the original 3 films, then we take a hard look at the fights. Everybody say your best Ki-Ya, because this episode kicks ass!

'Tis the season for holiday themed episodes, and we wanted to rise to the challenge with an actual Christmas movie (with minimal explosions), and Netflix's Klaus did not disappoint. We have a blast talking about the 2D rendering and design styles, the incredibly timely, socially conscious story, and the unique take on the Santa Klaus mythos. Also, we recorded this in my car in our home town of Folsom, CA, while visiting our families for the holidays, (yes, don't worry, after both getting negative Covid tests), so the nostalgia is thick and adds to the already ample hilarity. Plus, some fun special guests.

Our first stop on the journey through the many new films releasing to streaming platforms this month, is "Mank", the newest film by David Fincher & his latest collaboration with Netflix. In a deep talk about this film's theme, "letting artists make art", we find our way through details about the modern film industry, while simultaneously exploring the many hidden levels of Hollywood history within it, and the different subtexts implanted underneath that. Plus, some very interesting hidden tidbits about this film and it's creators!

In a bizarrely congruent follow up to our previous episode Addams Family Values, we talk about the strangely similar Knives Out, without intending the parallel. We lean into that topic, plus the vast array of details & levels to discuss, much like all Rian Johnson films, and break down as much as we can, all while not spoiling the mystery at the heart of the film.

In the spirit of the still spooky season, we have the perfect "Thanksgiving" episode, and a blast, discussing Barry Sonnenfeld's wicked Addams Family Values from 1993. We spend a good chunk of our talk covering (& quoting) the knockout, brilliant script by Paul Rudnick, and Sonnenfeld's exquisite storytelling, but we also lavish attention on the top notch cast, and will probably go to our graves doing our best impressions of Raul Julia's fantastic swagger. Plus, the Sonnenfeld Get Shorty connection is alive from our episode on the film, and we get to follow up with a quick chat about the show, now on Amazon Prime. Then Seamus gets defensive about his fake movie. It's a doozie!

Continuing our tribute to the late Sean Connery, we tackle what is one of his most puzzling, crazy entries, and it also happens to be his final on screen performance. Why was this movie such a mess? How did it become instantly notorious? How is has it aged? Also, we discuss our favorite Connery movies, his overall career, and of course, James Bond. Plus, a game!

In our fist of two tributes to the first Scotsman of cinema, we tackle the Rock as a companion to our previous episode on Michael Bay's Armageddon. We discuss what the then-71-year-old Connery definitely added to the film, how he and Cage play off each other, the many different screenwriters who doctored this film, and then answer the most important question of all: how did Michael Bay get on our show, not once, but twice?!
