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.

With nothing but a blueberry Truly and a dream, we hoot and holler over this week's cursed Lane's Frame, Beyond the Sea (2004) directed AND starring [the actor who played Hopper in A Bug's Life]. We get into that actor's career, the terrible decisions made in this movie, and what makes a bad biopic. Plus: can Ricky say "faggot"?

Rick's Pick this week is The Devil Wears Prada (VERY 2006) directed by David Frankel. We get into this movie's incredible performances, early 2000s beauty standards, and nightmare assistant jobs. Digressions include grey hair, dick inches, and face blindness. Also, there is a reveal about Ricky that is SO nonsensical and incongruous with everything we know about him that it will shake you to your core. That's all.

Flop! Lane's regretful Frame this week is Animal House (1978) directed by [this tweet may violate rules against hateful conduct.]. We talk about frat culture, gross-out humor, and hooking up in cars with other people nearby. The gain on Ricky's mic is all fucked up in this episode. Who wants to take bets on how quickly he gets to the Todd episodes of Breaking Bad? I give it 10 days.

Part Lane's Frame, part blatant bait at listener engagement, part thirst watch: it's Civil War (2024) directed by Alex Garland. 🚨 We spoil the movie right away 🚨 in our discussion of its politics, the intensity of the action, and the sometimes-clumsy dialogue. Plus: movie theatre etiquette, eating on mic, and a lotta cat sounds.

After the Memories of Murder episode, we spent some time building out Ricky's Letterboxd, an exercise that led to an hour of Ricky saying, "I liked it!" with more and more of a babytalk voice each time. This is a jank ass episode with mic issues and minimal editing so you've been warned.
