The Low Ceiling

Shutter Island, a movie about a duly appointed, whack job federal marshall who can't do sh*t. Jon gives a succinct review of The Amityville Horror and I Saw the TV Glow before we talk about Martin Scorsese's burgeoning career as a young up-and-coming filmmaker and take a detour into The Departed, a movie that needs no changes or critique. Join us for this masterclass on forgetting the names of most performers in this film!

To celebrate Gladiator: Folie a Deux we are talking about the undersung, underseen, cripplingly depressing Ridley Scott film, The Counselor. Dipping our toe back in the pool of Scott, we discuss Cormac McCarthy's writing, directors serving sentences in director jail for shooting out of bodily orifices, and the performance of Wet Wendy the cheetah.

Chart a course for an adventure film called Uncharted. Mark Wahlberg appears in this movie but Jon does a better job of being him this episode. We launch our new podcast, The Low Fleischer, and talk about video game adaptations, Tom Holland's career, and the Daniel Radcliffe film, Farting Corpse. This sh*thole's got more leaks than the Filipino navy.

First and foremost, Jon continuously misnomers Louisa May Alcott and is apologetic for it, but it doesn't mean she's not literally in Hell. That's just a taste of this wide-ranging discussion that sort of features Robert Zemeckis' shockingly expensive Hitchcockian ghost thriller, What Lies Beneath. We talk about the Hindi remake, Raaz, being traumatized by Oz and The Exorcist, and our plans to review the entire COVID-19 pandemic.

Bane returns and so does Woody's terrible wigs. Venom: Let There Be Carnage is on deck. The titular carnage was mostly in the second act, which they apparently excised from the film with extreme prejudice, making this 90 minute masterpiece a true test of one couple's willingness to sit through a sequel.

Venom! The first in a shocking trilogy of films. First, we break down our viewing experience of The Substance, before talking about Eminem's tie-in song and the film J. Edgar. Then, we try to figure out why it's so hard to adapt Venom to the big screen, Jon does a bunch of Bane impressions, and it all mercifully ends.

Today, a totally normal movie comes out: Joker: Folie a Deux. In the spirit of the season, we discuss a past Todd Phillips effort, War Dogs. Jonah Hill laughs! Miles Teller acts! We talk about the procurement process, fraud, and preparing a tight five standup routine during company Scrum meetings. Then we debate whether Steven Soderbergh's Traffic, a film about hard drugs, is a comedy.

Megalopolis, Francis Ford Coppola's long awaited epic, is probably, finally here so to celebrate we watched The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone. We do what no one else has ever done and talk about Sofia Coppola's performance and lament that she hasn't gone on to do anything notable with her life. Then, Jon briefly mansplains Coppola's career and we learn about how Coppola has never wanted to make a Godfather movie and prefers making millions in wine. Further topics include the film Tucker: The Man and His Dream and His Huge D*ck and Glen Powell rebooting the role of Vito Corleone.
