Watch With Sound

Wake up! You’re not dreaming, we’re back with another A24 film! On today’s episode we tackle Nic Cage’s newest film, Dream Scenario. We dive deep into what felt like a classic, honest-to-god A24 film; nothing overly imaginative and nothing overly boring. We talk about our love for Nic Cage, “cancel culture,” and our thoughts on A24’s current status as the “weirdo indie film studio.” Lastly, we talk about our own dreams and if we’ve dreamt of a stranger we’ve never met before. Are we all dreaming of the same person? Find out on today’s episode!

Carmela and Josh are feeling reflective with the wave of the holidays this year, so there’s never been a better time to sit down for a quick chat. For today’s Quick Take, we’re getting deep into our feelings to discuss the care-free holiday joy of our childhoods, New Year's resolutions, and the dreaded anticipation of turning 30 in the coming months. If you think that would make emotions run high, wait until the topic of design trends comes up. From all of us here at Watch With Sound, we hope you enjoy the season!

This week, we’re looking behind the gates of Graceland and there’s plenty of moodboard content to go around with the latest A24 release, Priscilla. It’s clear that Sofia Coppola stans are in the building as Carmela and Josh get into the stellar casting, the dreamy, ethereal quality that Sofia brings to the screen, and the journey of a girl coming into adulthood in the shadow of a superstar. Comparisons to Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis were inevitable and fan reactions seemed to be mixed in light of The King’s portrayal, but we want to know what you think! Is the film going to impact his legacy?

Pull up a chair and get comfortable because this week, we’re getting into the latest Scorsese crime epic, Killers of the Flower Moon. Based on a true story, Josh and Carmela waste no time examining their own knowledge of the Osage people, the criticisms this movie is facing, and the performances that bring the story to life. It’s no secret that we’re big fans of Scorsese here at Watch With Sound, but we want to know what you think! Did you catch this in theaters?

In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, there's nothing like finding a moment to unwind and catch up with your ol’ buddies. On today’s episode, Josh and Carmela discuss the challenges of making friends as adults, avoiding pyramid schemes, and getting through existential crises about what life might be like when we’re 80. Thanks, Martin Scorsese. Come chat with us!

Who said women can’t be problematic? Definitely not Josh and Carmela, that’s for sure. This week, we’re talking about the latest and greatest teen movie to sweep the nation: Bottoms. Director Emma Seligman pulls no punches to give us a genuine raunchy high school satire, and we could not be more grateful. The conversation wouldn’t be complete without discussing the evolution of comedy and all the classic tropes the film embraces, but we want to know what you think! Is it just a repeat of every 2000s teen blockbuster or does it live up to the hype?

Our resident podcast hosts were feeling indecisive between a quick take or a regular episode- so why choose? This week, we’re catching up on minor head traumas and childhood memories before diving into A24’s latest horror, Talk to Me. Youtubers Danny and Michael Philippou’s terrifying directorial debut gives us everything from complex relationships to nightmare fueling scares, but we want to know what you think. Would you talk to the hand?

Does anyone else feel like there’s been a 90’s movie trend lately? We decided to hop on board to revisit the classic crime drama, Heat. Well, “revisit” is relative, because *someone* on our team had never seen an Al Pacino film before! No rewriters corner needed this week as we talk Michael Mann’s captivating visual style, the complexities of each character, and of course, we have to admire the iconic diner scene featuring two of the greats. It’s a Pacino v. De Niro showdown- don’t miss it!

We can’t stop saying it: Barbenheimer is the biggest movie event of the year. Join us as we close this little chapter of cinematic history and discuss what we learned along the way. As always, we’re getting into what we liked, what we didn’t, Nolan’s distinctive style, and the ripple effect of man’s creations. We’re not historians or quantum physicists, but hopefully a couple of simpletons can do it justice. Let us know what you think!
