206: 13 Warrior w/ Darran Franich Jan 14, 2022

Show notes

Critic Darren Franich returns to the show to discuss the period/swordplay epic that blew his kid brain out of the water back in '99, John McTiernan's THE 13TH WARRIOR.

We discuss the poorly aged casting of Antonio Banderas as a muslim, the best and worst moments of McTiernan's career, and the science fiction cultural behemoth who took control of the film in reshoots, Michael Chrichton. We also talk about the wonders of filming on-location, how this movie must have been torn apart in the editing room, and why we think this movie should have included actual, honest to god bearmen.

Show notes

We are once again talking about Michelle Pfieffer in her big budget novel adaptation THE DEEP END OF THE OCEAN with Jarett wieselman!

We talk about some of the larger, and more hilarious misfires in this film's plot, and how some books are best left unadapted. Kenny tries to convince Phil and Jarett that the parent's reactions to their child's disappearance aren't as unrealistic as they seem. And, of course, we gush about Michelle Pfeiffer for most of the runtime.

200: Holy Smoke! w/ Bilge Ebiri Dec 03, 2021

Show notes

Writer and Mark Ruffalo look alike Bilge Ebiri joins us this week to talk all things Jane Campion with her divisive Kate Winslet vehicle, HOLY SMOKE.

We talk about the devolution of the leading man in Hollywood, and how we don't see actors like Harvey Keitel (or as Kenny puts it, "Actors with faces") in movies anymore. We also break down Campion's career, from The Piano, to this week's Netflix release The Power of the Dog, and analyze how she portrays men and women throughout her filmography. We also discuss Kate Winslet's career post-Titanic, the urban character actor, and how this film's shortcomings almost benefit the overall viewing experience.
