Nevermind the Watchmen - who watches the watchers?! Someone certainly ought to! This week's Rick's Pick was Watchmen (2009) directed by Z*ck Sn*der. We get into this movie's style (dated), politics (DATED), and critiques of superheroes (also somehow dated!). Plus: Lane poisons squirrels.

This week's mess of a Lane's Frame is Longlegs (2024) directed by Oz Perkins. 🚨 WE SPOIL THE MOVIE RIGHT AWAY🚨 and talk about the film's hype campaign, strange tone, and story that seems to homage everything while retaining a unique visual style. Features a couple surprises along the way so hang in there for the shitty audio quality lol. Cuckoo!

This week's Rick's Pick, which he seems to actually not know the name of, is Eat Drink Man Woman (1994) directed by Ang Lee. We talk about this sensuous, sumptuous film's mastery of tone, humor, and emotion. Along the way, we meander into discussions about Italian ice, assessing acting performances in languages you don't speak, and the FUCKING squirrel that keeps eating out of my bird feeder.

This week's Lane's Frame is Kinds of Kindness (2024) directed by Yorgos Lanthimos.

Why are they covering a surreal allegory for the Holocaust from 1970s Poland? Are they stupid? This week's Rick's Pick is The Hourglass Sanatorium (1974) directed by Wojciech Jerzy Has, a psychological horror-drama that left us creeped out and moved in a great way. We discuss anti-intellectualism and Ricky's extreme distaste for mannequins, wax figures, corpses, and all manner of human facsimile.

This week's Lane's Frame is a celebration of being a dramatic and indulgent little birthday boy: Henry V (1989) directed by Kenneth Branagh. We discuss our histories with Shakespeare, the cast of Harry Potter, and cool maps. Shockingly not a horny episode because I'm saving myself for Hamlet 🥰

We return to our anime roots with this week's Rick's Pick, the first three episodes of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin (2015). A lot less "Wow! Cool robot!" than expected, we talk about how cool (?) Char is, Crunchyroll's shoutout-worthiness, and the Glup Shitto phenomenon. Also, I'm calling it now, this is going to be one of our lowest-ranked episodes because of this massacre of an episode title, lol, RIP SEO.

We are horrorpilled jumpscaremaxxing mommycels on this week's Lane's Frame, Hereditary (2018) directed by Ari Aster. This episode has been edited to smithereens and I don't even know what to put in the caption. I never wanted to be your mother?

This week's Lane's Frame, Sicario (2015) directed by Denis Villeneuve, totally DOGWALKS our previous movie from the same director. We get into depiction of violence in movies (again) and how many bags of popcorn Ricky hallucinated us eating together one time. Lotta truck sounds on my audio in the background this episode, balanced out with the pleasant sounds of birds chirping from Ricky's audio track, so it's a wash.

I can't believe I didn't think of making a "Sic-mario" joke while we were recording this so I included a little ""Easter egg """ for the REAL watchers at the end of this episode.

How many times can Ricky joke about having too many notes? Tune in to find out on our episode for this week's Rick's Pick, Amadeus (1984) directed by Miloš Forman. We relish everything about this movie from the incredible performances, the set design, and, of course, the wigs. We also litigate having movies spoiled for us, our music listening habits, and Ricky's likeness to Cthulhu.
