Shut Up and Watch This episodes
- #8: Naked (1993)
On this week’s very special episode of Shut Up and Watch This, differing viewpoints lead to one of our most interesting, and certainly longest, discussions. Dave’s pick is NAKED, a 1993 film by Mike Leigh, a favorite director of both Dave and Ashley. Does Dave accurately express what this film meant to a young man out in the world for the first time? Will Ashley be able to look past her visceral reaction to the violence to truly appreciate the manic magnetism of Johnny? Yes! No! Maybe?! Plus, discussions of Greek classics, modern anti-heroes, and the worst date movie of all time.

37 min - #6: Local Hero (1983)This week Dave chooses LOCAL HERO, a delightful, nearly forgotten comedy by Scotland’s Bill Forsyth (GREGORY’S GIRL). Yes, let’s postpone the darker movies for a while and travel to the seaside village of Ferness with Peter Riegert’s Houston oilman and a gangly twenty-something Peter Capaldi as they attempt to purchase the bay, the beach, and the entire village for Knox Oil and their astronomy-obsessed boss, Burt Lancaster. Roll up your pants and hit the tide pools, bring plenty of change for the phone box, and make sure you stay for the Aurora Borealis.Subscribe in iTunes or AndroidFollow us on FacebookVisit our site: shutupwatchthis.wordpress.comSend your feedback to [email protected]Please consider leaving a review or a star rating on iTunes, so other folks can find us.© 2018 Ashley Carr & Dave Wilson35 min

35 min - #5: The Fog of War (2003)Dave and Ashley wrestle with some of the big questions while watching Ashley’s pick, THE FOG OF WAR: 11 Lessons from the Life of Robert S. McNamara, directed by master documentarian Errol Morris. What is our moral duty to our fellow men? Who was ultimately responsible for the US involvement in Vietnam? And how did Errol Morris get Werner Herzog to eat his shoe? Definite answers to at least one of these questions, plus Dave confronts an insecurity about modern American history, and Ashley talks about a camera angle that changed her forever.Subscribe in iTunes or AndroidFollow us on FacebookSend your feedback to [email protected]© 2018 Ashley Carr & Dave Wilson37 min

37 min - #4: Sex, Lies, and Videotape (1989)This week we tackle Dave's pick: SEX, LIES, AND VIDEOTAPE, Steven Soderbergh's 1989 debut with James Spader, Andie MacDowell, and Peter Gallagher (a.k.a. Eyebrows McGee). We've got iced tea, cheating husbands, lying sisters, repressed wives, and a philosophical loner with a peculiar box of videotapes. Is Andie MacDowell's hair basically a character in this film? See if you agree.Subscribe in iTunes or AndroidFollow us on FacebookSend your feedback to [email protected]© 2018 Ashley Carr & Dave Wilson33 min

33 min - #3: Benny & Joon (1993)Remember BENNY & JOON, that quirky Johnny Depp movie from the 90s? Dave doesn't--it's in his blind spot! Aidan Quinn stars as an auto mechanic who's made it his life's purpose to care for his mentally ill younger sister (Mary Stuart Masterson). Enter an eccentric, Buster Keaton-type (Depp) who can speak her language and read her emotions, but who's appearance upsets the balance. This week Ashley chooses a "comfort food" movie from her past. And Dave has to confront his Johnny Depp problem.35 min
