The Low Ceiling

Next stop, Kyoto! In celebration of a movie neither of us care about, The Fall Guy (out today), we discuss David Leitch's Bullet Train. We have a serious discourse about cinema violence and the evolution of action comedy. Then we talk about Zazie "Gregory" Beetz and Bad "Brian" Bunny, preview Tim Burton's Corpse Wedding, and break down our favourite film genre: Dwayne-Johnson-Doing-Stuff-in-the-Jungle

Scott, we're rooting for you. The Pale Blue eye, a remarkably not sh*tty Netflix movie by director Scott Cooper. Pri nerds out in her research and we discuss Robert Duvall's Red-Headed Paperweight Estate, Harry "Lil Chubber" Melling's enthusiastic performance, and books with merkins. Jon also does a dramatic reading of the entire film Crazy Heart.

We go RockNRolla on this episode and by that I mean incomprehensible and not very good. The 2008 Guy Ritchie film that's impossible to watch launched Tom Hardy and wrecked Gerard Butler, despite their charms. Pri gives a hot take about Jaws and we rehash various Barry Lyndon-related controversies to pre-empt how wrong Jon can be and often is, before asking the question "why was this film shot on a Scottish toilet?"

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is a completely passable and inessential film. What's more important is that Jon and Pri talk about CGI and de-aging as if they know anything about how it works (they don't) and surviving brain altering physical injuries. Also, witness Pri completely unravel and ruin her credibility when she ranks the Jones/Gates/Langdon triumvirate with shocking results. Number 1 might surprise you (like, actually, truly it will).

Welcome to New Jersey: A State of Mind. We talk about Zach Braff's ANTICHRIST, Garden State, a film with such a legacy it makes you want to ride the bike from Elizabethtown. Jon and Pri discuss quintuple threat Zach Braff and whether Daniel Day Lewis is a "pick me". They break down the Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope and talk about the characteristics every woman wants in a man: that he runs fast and climbs trees.

Mr. and Mrs. Smith was more Brangelina than film but it definitely happened. Jon and Pri talk about Doug Liman's career and how easy it is to confuse Martin Lawrence and Megan Fox for each other. Pri expresses her desire to take part in the "Angelina Jolie Step on My Neck" challenge and they talk about some classic movies no one has seen like The Recruit, Spy Game, and Angelina's directorial debut/divorce film By the Sea. Tell us all about your revised opinions about this movie!

This week, we partooken in Solo: A Star Wars Story, the underdog film that really could. We talk about the casting of Han Solo, Lando Calrissian (pansexual icon), and the phenomenon of Tom Holland Face. Then we discuss the turbulent production and rank all the Star Wars movies. Hold onto your hats because Jon talks about a time that this one guy ordered a pizza.

Em, friend, tattooist, and scholarly peer joins the pod to talk about Alien Resurrection, so naturally we relitigate Michael Clayton and Only God Forgives. Em gives their succinct overview of the themes of the Alien franchise then we dive into the important stuff: shirt-sword storage, The Weave's basketball skills, and the most revolting cinematic creature conceived by man. Who do I gotta f*ck to get off this boat? Listen in and find out!

It's a star-studded affair tonight! We invite Jimmy Kimmel, Glenneth Close, Stephanie Gaga, and AC/DC to the pod to help us revisit the 91st Academy Awards.

Then, we turn out attention to the 96th Academy Awards, Hillary Rodham Clinton, and other dumb awards season nonsense (this episode is too long to succinctly describe but we do talk about Elizabeth Debicki's dunking skills).

Je t'aime, you redheaded paperweight!

**STRONG CONTENT WARNING** Wanna fight? Ricky, local restaurauteur, artist, and future mayor joins the pod to visit Bangkok and meet the devil. Nicolas Winding Refn is back flexing his powers in Only God Forgives, a nice film about sons and mothers and their love. Jon and Ricky talk about the transformation of KST, Hollywood's current feminist icon, Academy Award nominee Ryan Gosling, and giving splinters to children as a politcal position. Hop back in the womb with us and listen in!
