The Low Ceiling

**STRONG CONTENT WARNING** Our annual dip into the nightmare highway that is CanCon. We chat about a film that made Francis Ford Coppola refuse to give an award and had audiences nationwide f*cking t**lpipes with reckless abandon. Not your dad's Crash!

Eternals, drop the "the", it's cleaner. As the first podcast to ever criticize the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Jon and Pri keep it light by talking about the complete death of art, Brian Tyree Henry's Sexiest Hands in Hollywood Award, and selfie sticks. Jon is a few beers deep and busting out the Arishem voice and if anyone has a problem they can take it up with Captain Wildebeest and Left Fist. There will be chafing!

We are the Lord of War now! Back in cinema's greatest year, 2005, we welcome back friends of the pod Cage, Leto, Moynihan, and Baggins. A film with major issues and real acting. We talk about bad song choices, Viktor Bout's three-point percentage, and what would happen if ISIS got ahold of Midjourney. It's just that dog in us.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty: Demystified. One of Pri's favourite films enters the octagon where Jon reveals his nefarious ties to the Papa John's conglomerate, we establish the pod's official stance on Greenland and the Taliban, and try to talk Icelandic to great critical acclaim. Greenland: not even once.

Men! The 2022 Alex Garland film that shocked all five people who saw it. Jon and Pri chat about the criticism levelled at the movie and what it means. We chat an inordinate amount about She Said and touch on the existential horror of being in Britain. Birth rocks and so does this movie!

It's About Time people got on board with this little ditty of a Richard Curtis film from 2013. Jon and Pri break down Rachel McAdams' slick moves, get personal about time travel, and speculate on who the worst Destiny's Child was. This movie is good and for good people, especially the Scots!

Did the work of cinema Behind Enemy Lines scare Owen Wilson away from making a serious film ever again? Yes, it did. But we also talk about 9/11 (as usual), propaganda, and Jon pushes his Sean Connery impression into the stratosphere. Wow! This was a movie!

Jon and Pri discuss Waiting... a film that truly shows its age. This Reynolds-Long-Faris-Cook nexus should be buried in a vault or shot into space. We talk about not being scolds, the current food media moment, and introduce The Justin Long Hall of Fame. 2005 was a weird year.

Eat Pray Love! Welcome to a harsh takedown of a movie no one likes about the very best white lady at the ashram. We talk about irresponsible travel, Brazilians (the people!), and where to get a turkey in Italy. Stick your face in a puddle on foreign soil and drink it in.

We are witches and we just want to dance. We discuss Suspiria: the Club Remix and sing the praises of one Dakota "DJ" Johnson. We establish the podcast's official stance on drinking pee (it's science), admire a statue made of tits, and bemoan the lack of German culture present in this film. Listen in and get uneasy with your Maters.
