Skye & Evan In The Morning

Today we talk about the only good Exorcist sequel, Exorcist III, or Legion, skipping over Exorcist II because honestly nobody needs to know about that film.

Today we talk about Ringu, Ringu 2, The Ring and The Ring Two. The original Japanese duology by Hideo Nakata and the American remake by Gore Verbinski (and its underrated sequel by Hideo Nakata himself). As a long time fan of Gore Verbinski, being some of the few people who like A Cure for Wellness, and having talked about Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die and Rango, we felt it was nice to venture into the horror film that started it all and launched his career into the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise.

Today we discuss the movie Whalefall, starring Austin Abrams and Josh Brolin, to see if it lives up to the hype.We analyze how the adaptation translates to the screen and discuss whether the narrative holds up for those going in with high expectations.

Today we talk about Jonathan Glazer's Under The Skin, starring Scarlett Johannson, a very weird and interesting film about gender politics and the objectification and exploitation of women's bodies in society.

In 2002, Charlie Kaufman wrote a film called Adaptation., starring Nicholas Cage as Kaufman himself and his fictional twin brother Donald Kaufman, as well as Meryl Streep playing the real world journalist and writer Susan Orlean. The film is fascinating and unique, and incredibly meta, and Spike Jonze's directing adds a layer to it that makes it truly beautiful. Today we discuss this film and why we loved it so much.

Today we talk about a timeless classic from 1987, Robocop.

Did you know the Tommy Lee Jones and Harrison Ford 1993 thriller The Fugitive had a sequel? Did you know it's actually very underrated? Well, listen here all about it.

Today we talk about the 1995 film Judge Dredd, starring Sylvester Stallone, with its very interesting visual presentation and worldbuilding, and we compare it to Alex Garland's 2012 film Dredd, starring Karl Urban, the extremely underrated action thriller, similar to The Raid (2011). Which is the best one? Is the original as bad as people say?

Today we talk about Steven Soderbergh's Ocean's Eleven, starring Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Julia Roberts. The quintessential heist movie, Skye watches it for the first time and talks about her experience with it.

Today we talk about Bo Burnham's directorial debut, his feature film Eighth Grade, released 2 years after Make Happy and 3 years before Inside.
