Two for Space Jam, Please

After a looooong hiatus, we’re (finally!) back. And we missed you. We watched Triangle of Sadness, one of the more recent iterations of the increasingly popular eat-the-rich theme, and talked all about representations of class struggle, villianizing billionaires, and the kinds of dismantling capitalism stories we wish were being made.

We brought our appetites for the absurdist dark comedy that is The Menu – and we left satisfied!

The Banshees of Inisherin asks of its audience – how many fingers would you cut off to get your former best friend to leave you alone??

MAN BABY

Join us for a brief stay at probably the worst Airbnb experience of all time. We grit our teeth (and sometimes closed our eyes) and watched Barbarian!

Vesper is viscous, gooey, slipshod, and visceral. Ferny plants shoot lethal, glowing pink darts that burrow into you and turn into insects. Scavenging pilgrims build rubbish towers high into the sky. A floating orb holds the consciousness of a bedridden man, and a 13-year-old girl plays with plants to have some shot at survival. Yes, we enjoyed this one.

Our biggest piece of advice if you’re planning a hurricane party with your friends in a mansion for the weekend – Put. Away. The swords. We watched Bodies Bodies Bodies and talked about funny horror and killer parlor games. And also – what are people in their twenties like again??

Nathan Fielder’s The Rehearsal is bizarre, uncomfortable, emotional, surprising, and deeply, deeply weird. This show was HBO being cool with spending millions to let a guy confront his anxiety through helping others confront their own anxieties – which is ok by us!

Also – we’re back! (thanks for sticking with us, we love you).

This week we’re coming at you from our neighbor to the north – Canada! We watched The Gray Man, starring Ryan Gosling (a Canadian!) as a CIA assassin named Six who learned a little too much about his employer and so is on the run in a cat and mouse chase across Europe. The movie was wildly expensive to produce and is wildly mediocre. Do better, Netflix.

Special episode alert! We’ve got two guests joining us — New York State Assemblymember Jon Rivera, and Ethan Powers — to review Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis. We laugh, we cry, we disagree, we spend an inordinate amount of time trying to figure out what’s going on with Tom Hanks. Are you lonesome tonight?? Well, come join us! sorry

It’s 1997 and our queens Parker Posey, Toni Collete, and Lisa Kudrow are at the height of their powers playing temps trying to survive in a mind-numbing cubicle hellscape. Clockwatchers, another entry in our ongoing series on labor movies, feels prescient in its representation of disposable workers that sadly still holds true today. Bonus: we reminisce about a few of our own past jobs! There’s some, uh, pallet smashing.
