We Wanna Watch

Ricky took a gamble on this week's Rick Pick, but it all worked out in the end with Roujin Z (1991) directed by Hiroyuki Kitakubo and written by Katsuhiro Otomo (of Akira, as Lane is desperate to point out). Ricky takes the opportunity to flex his anime knowledge and we both express our cynicism toward the future of artificial intelligence. Also I'm not crazy for saying gamergate caused Trump to get elected right?

A somewhat muted discussion of Manhunter (1986) directed by Michael Mann. Digressions include Ricky's love of crime procedurals and Lane ranting about those freaks online who talk about murder while doing their makeup. Bonus: you can hear Ricky's rowdy ass cats in the background all episode. I'll be charitable and just say that we have six cats between the two of us.

Note: The audio is really quiet for this episode. Sorry about that!

A surprisingly chill and normal discussion about Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) directed by Michel Gondry. Digressions include Ricky's forays on The Apps and lots of thirsty talk that I probably should have cut out.

Ricky's deez nuts joke from last week falls flat (kind of like this movie) while we discuss Incendies (2010) directed by Denis Villeneuve.

After struggling through two disastrous audio records, we finally manage a discussion of one of Rick's Picks, The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) directed by Wes Anderson.

Note: This episode's audio quality is really bad, but it's better in later episodes, promise!
