The Low Ceiling

The first ever full episode that is one big hot take because this is A GOOD (and hella ACAB) MOVIE. Transformers, a modern Michael Bay classic. We share our thoughts on Alien: Romulus and Pri drops the scorching take that Barbie only kind of works. Then Jon revises his thoughts on The Eternals (for the worse) because he's a normal person who thinks about normal things. The only thing hotter than our takes are Megan Fox's quotes about working with Michael Bay.

Bad dog! We're here to say what a man with two penises would say when his tailor asks him if he dresses to the left or to the right: Lucky Number Slevin. A movie about Jewish organized crime, made up names, and crazy wallpaper. We discuss The Bald Actor Hall of Fame, Stanley Tucci's Searching for Italy (still hasn't found it), and the dynamic Hartnett-Liu-Tucci trifecta. This movie has a terrible title, a big heart, and Ben Kingsley really doing something.

After Earth! A story about fatherhood and ghosting. We discuss the critically derided film brought to you by the Smith-Smith-Shyamalan trifecta. We talk about the poor reception of this movie that mostly consisted of everyone telling a famous child how bad he was, the difficulty of making successful soft sci-fi, and whether Judge Dredd f*cks. This episode is brought to you by the audiobook for Dianetics, narrated by Werner Herzog.

Man of Steel is Jon's first Superman film so naturally we talk about Black Widow and period products. We discuss the poptimism era of superhero movies following The Avengers, review the the incredible trailers for this movie, and maintain that Krypton is a bummer. This episode is dedicated to the farmers of the world, except Diane Lane.

To celebrate the 2024 Paris Summer Olympic Games we bring you the greatest Paris film besides Breathless: Taken. In full Olympic enthusiasm and spirit Jon gives a treasonous Olympic take, we start a sexy rumour about Slovenia, and try and fail to not spoil Stillwater. This episode stars French Frank Underwood and Liam Neeson, the greatest athlete of his generation.

**STRONG CONTENT WARNING** We continue our examination of films about unsafe chainsaw use with Fede's Alvarez's remake of Evil Dead. We discuss recent viewings of MaXXXine and Longlegs, Diablo Cody's touch on the film, and real life evil books. Remember, the only thing scarier than a demon is a demon on meth.

**STRONG CONTENT WARNING** Today we celebrate the Borat of Slovakia: Eli Roth's Hostel. We dive into horror subgenres, the names of which we can't really say here, and a bunch of movies you shouldn't watch, explain Quentin Tarantino's influence on the film, and chat about Europe's Top Tit Destination. This is the first official anti-9/11 podcast and we don't think you should watch this movie.

Oooooh boy, yes you should be worried! This week, Don't Worry Darling, Olivia Wilde's trenchant critique of...something! A movie that's basically Mad Men except Harry Styles goes down on his wife all the time. We talk about Kinds of Kindness, the absurd twist of this movie, and a certain college professor who cries really easily and loves Russian healthcare.

We continue our celebration of Deadpool & Wolverine by catching up with our favourite Canadian icon in Japan (!?). We cover James Mangold's The Wolverine, which was almost a Darren Aronofsky film. Aside from going nucks deep on a good, Bechdel-test-passing film, Pri names every NHL team and we talk about feminism in Pacific Rim. Hey look babe, I'm The Bear!

In preparation for Deadpool & Wolverine, we talk about Canada's most famous fictional character besides Wayne Gretzky and Gandalf. X-Men Origins: Wolverine: Super Bones is a Gavin Hood film that's not Ava DuVernay's Origin. In a loopy episode Jon and Pri discuss taking ten needles straight to the face, big, dumb katana arms, and the power of having a hard fist and touching stuff. Then Jon definitively ranks three Deadpool movies, one Wolverine, and one Taylor Swift album together to make a list no one ever asked for.
