Watch With Sound

It’s been two months since our last Quick Take (we forgot and also had a lot of movie content), BUT we’re back with a new Quick Take episode! Listen to us catch each other up on life, how “post-pandemic” feels, music and movies we’ve been enjoying, along with the upcoming movies we’re excited for. We also talk about what our rap group name would be & how our younger selves would react to our present day selves.

As productions and film releases go back to normal, we finally get our first Marvel movie after two years from the most recent Spiderman and that movie is Black Widow. We go into depth about the actual timeline this movie was released, was it too little too late? Was this something that would’ve benefited from being released way sooner? Along with that, we dive deep into our problems and what we want to see with superhero movies. Lastly, we talk about our girl, Florence Pugh and her potential future with the MCU.

Our favorite film distribution and production company is back with a brand new and unique film; Zola. Zola has the unique premise of being a film based on an eventful Twitter thread. We talk about its unique and artistic direction, from the sound design to cinematography. We also go into depth about this idea of using social media platforms as a tool for storytelling & content in the future for Hollywood films. Will using social media posts as a source for material be the future of Hollywood films?

On today’s episode we talk about the sequel to John Krasinski’s horror film, A Quiet Place 2. We go into depth on how this sequel pans out, did it live up to the hype or did it succumb to sequel syndrome? We also talk about the typical horror movie tropes that this film fell into and we talk about the future of the A Quiet Place Franchise (not to mention some film ideas, John Krasinski we’re waiting for your call.)

On this episode we talk about the musical that everyone has been talking of as of late. We’re talking about In the Heights. We go in depth about our history with musicals, what we really think about Lin Manuel Miranda, and ultimately, we talk about our wildly unpopular opinion of In the Heights.

Welcome to our hundredth episode! First things first, thank you everyone for listening and taking this journey with us! Here’s to 100 more episodes!

On this episode we talk about the newest and third Conjuring, The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It. Like most Conjuring films, the third one is a fun, investing, and suspenseful story of good and evil. We talked about what we liked about it, where it ranks in our Conjuring list, and how we felt about the real case of Arne Johnson and whether or not he deserved a longer sentence or even if he killed “under the influence” of something unworldly. Come hangout and listen for the hundredth time!

In today's episode we talk about The Conjuring 1 & 2 to get ready for the third Conjuring film. The Conjuring series played a huge part in the resurgence of exorcist/haunting films and taking modern horror films to the next level. We also get into the real life stories of these hauntings, why these movies are so good by themselves, and what we want to see in the newest Conjuring film.

Coming off the success of the Snyder Cut of the Justice League, Zack Snyder is back with a new Netflix original film: Army of the Dead. An interesting premise of combining both the zombie genre and action heist genre that takes place in Sin City, Las Vegas. In this episode, we talk about it’s execution, Snyder’s creative vision being fully seen, and of course, the negative parts of the film.

A new episode of Quick Take is now up! For those who don't know what a Quick Take is, it's episodes where we chill out, hangout, and just talk! On this episode we talk about our feelings on the results of the Oscars (and the problems they raised with this year), updates on our current life situations & we pick random cards from the board game "We're Not Really Strangers" and ask each other questions from the game!⁠

On this special episode we take a deep dive into both Paddington 1 & Paddington 2. We get into the debate of Citizen Kane v. Paddington 2, why we liked the Paddington films so much and how much it caught us off guard. We also take a dive into the symbiotic relationship with kids movies being more impactful for adults at times and why Paddington was successful with this particular relationship. Lastly, we talk about the social issues that both Paddington films comment on.
