We Wanna Watch

Life is a cabaret! Or is it? Our Pride Pics continue this week with two bangers: musical drama Cabaret (1972) directed by Bob Fosse and psychological drama Beau Travail (1999) directed by Claire Denis. Eso son Reebok o son Nike?

Happy Pride Month Watchers!! This week's pride pics were Ed Wood (1994) directed by Tim Burton and Being John Malkovich (1999) directed by Spike Jonze. Identity issues galore! Is the human experience inherently lonely or is that specific to men? Fetishes! Being Jesse Plemons? Is this anything? Plus: a not-so-brief intro about Curry Barker's Obsession!

This week's Rick's Pick is Se7en (1995) directed by David Fincher. DETECTIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This week's Lane's Frame is Margaret (2011) directed by Kenneth Lonergan! You think this movie is about a bus crash but really it's about a trainwreck. We go long about the depth of this movie's characters and compare it to every single Mike Leigh film we've covered. Plus: Ricky prepares a little game!

This week's Rick's Pick is The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover (1989) directed by Peter Greenaway! We both come to this movie a little cooler than Drowning by Numbers, but don't worry: Ricky spends a looong time talking about vore. Plus: a little game.

The cat, TOTALLY out of the bag: it's The Insider (1999) directed by Michael Mann! We open this week's Lane Frame with a loooong digression about Taco Bell and breakfast foods before getting into Mann's oeuvre. We chat about his use of color, the effectiveness of the camerawork, and Al Pacino's energy levels. Plus: Ricky tries to explain some internet shit to me and I still don't understand it tbh. Hopefully you do, WWWatchers.

Please enjoy this microreview of Hoppers (2026) directed by Daniel Chong by WWWatchers Corb and Jorge 🦫

Ugly, Stupid, Dogshit. This week's Rick's Pick was Crazy, Stupid, Love. (2011) directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa. Why does this movie hate women? Why is Steve Carell so unfunny? Why haven't we watched La La Land yet?

The Super Mario Galaxy Movie (2026) directed by Michael Jelenic and Aaron Horvath. It's a Lane's Frame, it's a Chris' List, it's a B-Syde, it's a bad movie and a major letdown. This episode is unlistenable and if you make it all the way through you deserve a statue in your honor.

This week, in honor of the iconic singer's birthday, we have on special guest Maria for our first Maria's Movie: Selena (1997) directed by Gregory Nava. While this movie falls into some stereotypical biopic beats (simple storytelling, mediocre acting, boring direction), Maria schools us on Selena's life and music and why she deserved a better movie. Plus: Ricky's ex-wife revealed.
