This week’s recommendations

Lucé: The Double Life of Veronique, Melancholia

Cozi: A Softer World 

In this week's episode, Cozi tries to convince Lucé to see the underrated Mel Brooks classic History of the World: Part 1 (1981). Will an incredible Madeline Kahn performance and a focus on class be enough for Lucé to watch the VHS of this film she already owns?

Also discussed in this episode: Goodnight We Love You, The New One, Frances Bacon, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Get Real, The Wedding Singer, The Gregory Hines Show, Divorce, and The Mask.

This week’s recommendations: Tomboy, Good Boys, and Fun Masks!

Today sound engineer Pete joins Lucé in tearfully demanding Cozi and listeners watch 2017’s gorgeous queer coming of age romance, Call Me By Your Name. Will the sensual railing touches, crispy paperbacks, and wildly supportive parents be enough to convince Cozi to watch this aesthetically pleasing gem?

Also discussed in this episode: Handsome Man Patrick Wilson, The Shape of Water, Pretty in Pink, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, The Social Network, Sorry to Bother You, Sufjan Stevens, The Psychedelic Furs, The Robot, Doug, Hey Arnold, Okja, Body Bags, Scrubs, Our Man In Japan travelogue and Shudder.

Lucé needs you to watch Dogtooth, a hyperrealist pitch black comedy about the dangers of extreme isolation. This 2009 Greek film from Yorgos Lanthimos (The Lobster, The Favourite) is disturbing in a good way according to Lucé, will Cozi agree?

This week the gang says farewell to Nick Assunto as he leaves to pursue new projects. Thanks for all the great recommendations, Nick! You’ll be missed!

Also discussed in this episode: Dogme 95, Lars Von Trier, The Wolfpack (2015), Kidding, and a shared love for Judy Greer.
