We Wanna Watch

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.

A lost pearl, shiny,

In the sea feeling tiny,

So very briny.

Also, we watched Blow-Up (1966) directed by Michelangelo Antonioni, for the keyword bots.

A movie that dares to ask the question, what if Mad Max were wet and also bad? This week's film off the Christopher Listopher is Waterworld (1995) directed by Kevin Reynolds, NOT Kevin Coster like the zeitgeist wants you to believe. We talk about eating ice cream on Monday mornings with your dad, how Jeff Goldblum is not sexy, and also the movie Waterworld (1995) directed by Kevin Reynolds NOT Kevin Costner.

Shoutout to Brussels. We keep it a little downbeat on this week's Rick's Pick, News from Home (1976) directed by Chantal Ackerman. A beautiful, melancholic movie, we're mostly *Drake voice** in our feelings about our relationships with our moms, what it means to be home, and how they just don't make silk-lined houndstooth beige tweed shackets like they used to. Also, lotta Zumba talk on this episode for some reason.
