The Latecomers

Amity and Lemuel have reached 1988 and this week we watched A Fish Called Wanda. Amity had literally no idea what this movie was and feels a bit robbed by that lack of knowledge. Lemuel had a better idea and is coming around to the sexiness of Russian. Kevin Kline steals every scene and eats every last bit of scenery – including the living stuff.

Lemuel and Amity finally watched Animal House. Amity thinks all these white dudes look/act/are the same. Lemuel struggles with age and mortality. Amity bets on boobs and loses. We reminisce over SNL Jeopardy and there is a crackle on Amity’s mic that she is very sorry about… she did her best to edit as much of it out as possible.

June of 2008 brings us the only theatrically released American Girls Dolls movie – Kit Kitteridge – a story of precociousness and hobos populated by big name stars telling a story that is better than it has any right to be. Come along and learn of the duplicity of Tucci and the scandal of permanent underwear.

Amity and Lemuel watched Mulan, and both ended up liking it more than they thought they would. We get into the truthiness of M Butterfly, the enjoyment of cross dressing, the utter violence in this children’s film and come out in favor of animation.

Description: Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall play three too many characters each in this comedic hit from the 80s. Patrice gets the short end of the stick and why is Eric LaSalle like racist oatmeal? It was an eye opening experience – come along and listen, won’t you? Check out a recent episode of The Nod (May 14, 2018 called “From Zamunda to Wakanda,”) where the hosts determine if Coming to America is “good for the blacks” – it’s a great podcast, check it out.

Amity and Lemuel strapped in for a screwball comedy from the seventies, remade from a 1941 film and remade again in 2006, so we are reminded Hollywood plagiarism isn’t new. Lemuel learns us on Buck Henry and Amity wonders how Charles Grodin kept his job. Join us for our season three premiere!

Amity and Lemuel are gearing up for season three so they are taking a detour to discuss current cultural phenomenon, Black Panther. Appropriation, representation, and how Amity wanted the white guys' lines to remain countable on both hands. This movie is great and we have a lot to say even without spoiling it.

Lemuel and Amity watched 2001: A Space Odyssey this week. Is this the best movie ever made? Should you be high when you watch it? What was Bob Ross’s pet squirrel’s name? (Peapod) Where are all the super comfortable future chairs? Why don’t we drink all of our meals? These questions and more answered this week.

We watched the hill people classic Deliverance - it's a rough go and it was everything Amity expected. We talk about the treatment of sexual assault, the inanity of no insurance and no stunt people, and Amity pushes hard to get you to watch a different movie entirely. Listen along?

Amity thought this was a happy movie. She confused it for a movie with a happy ending. Rough as it is, it does end well and both confirm that Dev Patel is an international treasure. How did this boy from nowhere know all the answers – the solution is in the questions themselves. Also maybe magic.
