  • Under The Wheels Episode 26: Mank


    Gabe and Matt go old school to talk about David Fincher's new "biographical" "drama" Mank, where Matt stumbles upon pronouncing everything and Gabe can't pronounce Amanda Seyfried. They also get depressed about the impending top 10 of the year.

    Matt and Gabe slice and dice through the good, the bad, and the ugly of Ghost of Tsushima and try not to get Sucker Punched along the way (apologies for the terrible pun).

    In the filler episode of Under the Wheels, Matt and Gabe discuss Quibi, how Matt can't say Cerebus correctly, the legacy of Cerebus, the actual draw of Batman: The Killing Joke, an observation on the works of the late Stuart Gordon, a sidebar into the unrealized Honey I Shrunk the Kids sequels, a Rick Moranis Appreciation, Gabe's issue with the Superhero Movie Equivalent of 1950-60 (as well as the creepy age gap between some leading men and women), for some reason a long diatribe about musicals, John Lee Hancock (who Matt calls John Lee Miller for some reason), Gabe's famous "Tangential Biopic Theory" and why he hates it, an elongated discussion on The Natural, Greengrass's Greenzone, Jason Isaac's sometimes-regular radio appearances, a brief analysis of Neill Blomkamp, why the uncanny valley of practical effects look better than the uncanny valley of visual effects, the complete closure of any good movies coming out in theaters, a summary of some of the basic points of the novel Dune, Neal Adams Presents Hollow Earth Theory, Matt (once again) misses Gabe's metaphor completely, a small debate on positive, negative, and self help books, Athlete's relationship to God, quarterback talk, homosexuality in sports, and Matt's rant about the injustice of Zach Snyder's Justice League.

    Special Edition - Some fun facts about Frank Sinatra:

    1. He learned how to skateboard in the 1970's2. He was married twice - his first wife died in the 1950's and he didn't remarry until the 1980's (though his wife was 45 years younger than him at the time)3. He was so nuanced that he recorded the same dance sequence twice, on two different sets, and the two dances are almost identical movement-wise4. He never thought he was good enough and couldn't watch his routines on film5. He was to dance choreography as Hitchcock was to screenwriting - he rarely took credit but his influence was usually pretty large.6. To keep costs down on film shoots (since film is expensive) he would spend 2 or 3 weeks rehearsing and training so they could get the whole thing in only a few takes.[Credits Wikipedia]

    Gabe and Matt dive deep into the mind of Charlie Kaufman and attempt to make meaning of his latest film I'm Thinking of Ending Things, not sponsored by Dairy Queen. Along the way, they stumble their way through how Mulan the Movie is having a direct negative effect on Hong Kong, they get demonetized and banned in China for... well, obvious reasons, Matt is wrong in most of the assumptions he makes, how movie theaters can make a killing on concessions by appealing to people's need to not wear a mask, the evolution of expensive food, a very strange tangent about Pauline Kael, the crazy theories around The Shining, how Gabe knows more about the flag physics of the moon than Matt, and the Roger Ebert video-games-as-art controversy.

    Sponsored by Jif Peanut Butter (please?) - Matt and Gabe get back into movies made in 2020 with the "hit" Netflix movie "The Old Guard" starring Dudley Dursley from Harry Potter with some other somewhat famous international stars. Topics include how awesome Rutger Hauer is/was, Sly Stallone's steroid-enhanced Ego and his drag sensibilities, the odd style choices of Julie Taymore (and how they sometimes work), Vincent D'Onofrio's voice, the qualities of a biopic, the Under the Wheels version of a Harriet Tubman biopic, Brian Tyree Henry, Matt Damon through the years, poor execution of moral quandries, the makeup of good villains (and really lazy ones), a few of Gabe's rules for Action Scenes, multiple mentions of Rhiz Ahmed, the horrible new trend in movie soundtracks (not score), and answer some viewer questions!
