Jason drops by to talk about 2022’s Nope! We discuss the meaning of the film, the sci-fi concepts at play, and find out that sci-fi, horror, and comedy are our favorite genres. Oh wait, we’re sci-fi, horror, and comedy writers. This makes a lot of sense now.

Brooks is back! So you know it’s weird! This time we all take a look at the experimental horror stop-motion film, Mad God. The labor of love of Phil Tippett (dinosaur supervisor). A film that took 30 years to make. The gang talk about its imaginative and rich world, the importance of story, and how sometimes artists create a situation where their reach exceeds their grasp.

It’s a Wes month. This time we discuss his 2007 film The Darjeeling Limited which tells the story of three brothers embarking on a spiritual journey through their mutual and personal grief. The boys talk about why it feels different from other Anderson films, how grief and romance are treated in Anderson films, and how the writing reveals a genuine desire to interact with Indian culture but ultimately discloses a form of privilege from the writer/director.
