Josh's Something Old: Breakdown

Something New: Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

Episode 128: Father Stu Apr 28, 2022

Show notes

Something Old:

Skye's: Sister Act

Josh's: Rudy

Something New: Father Stu

Josh's Proposal: Father Stu is a movie worth seeing, but misses the mark, because it never really answers the question why did Stu come to faith? Or more specifically, why did he become a priest?

Skye's Proposal: Father Stu is an example of what Paul was told, when God said "My strength is made perfect in your weakness"

Something Borrowed: Mark Wahlberg Interview: Star of Father Stu (2022) on Playing a Priest, The Fighter 2, More Projects

Jason's: Russian Doll

Show notes

Something Old:

Kaitlyn's: Pollyanna

Josh's: Teen Wolf

Skye's: Big

Something New: Turning Red

Josh's Proposal: Turning Red is a great example of "write what you know"

Skye's Proposal: Turning Red had really admirable goals but failed to deliver on them.

Kaitlyn's Proposal: It's a really moving coming of age story, has a really beautiful message about family and especially Mother-Daughter relationships, but it unfortunately is caught up in an American Christian Culture war about identity and self actualization that causes us to misinterpret it.

Something Borrowed: Embrace the Panda: Making Turning Red

Something Blew:

Josh's: CODA

Jason's: You'll Never Edit an Unfunny Film Again.

Kaitlyn's: Hasan Minhaj: Homecoming King

Skye's: Benjamin Franklin

Show notes

Something Old:

Josh's: Catch Me If You Can

Skye's: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

Something New: The Adam Project

Josh's Proposal: Although the Adam Project is mediocre, it's ultimately a win for 2 reasons: The unique parent-child relationships and they doubled down on Ryan Reynolds being Ryan Reynolds.

Skye's Proposal: The Adam Project could have been a pretty good half hour television series on the CW

Something Borrowed: Top 10 Actors Who Always Play Themselves

Show notes

Something Old:

Josh's: Road to Perdition

Skye's: Chinatown or Se7en

Something New: The Batman

Josh's Proposal: What are we saying when we tell stories with heroes that create worse problems than the problems that inspire them to become heroes?

Skye's Proposal: The Batman is a brilliant film noir detective movie, but lacks the one essential ingredient to make a good comic book movie. Fun.

Josh's: Yellowstone & Kimi

Skye's: Being the Ricardos & House of Gucci
