Episode 449: The Crew’s shaving their heads while watching Ridley Scott’s G.I. Jane. This 90’s film was unfairly judged when it came out, winning a Razzie for Demi Moore. But Demi delivers a tough and fun performance, and Ridley surrounds her with his expertly crafted shots and a supporting cast that’s game. This film needs to be rediscovered by film buffs. The Crew discusses…

Episode 448: The Crew’s feeling the red light claustrophobia while watching Tony Scott’s Crimson Tide. This 1995 sub film has a wonderful all male cast, but Washington and Hackman steal the show as the disagreeing Captain and XO. There are plenty of sub cliches and wonderful action scenes, but the highlights are the characters weighing the pros and cons of launching a nuke without all the information. The Crew discusses…

Episode 447: The Crew’s lost in the Gosling rizz while watching Phil Lord and Christopher Miller’s Project Hail Mary. This perfectly casted film pulls on the heartstrings with a faceless alien friendship. No giant E.T. eyes here. And with a runtime over 2 hours, the pace never slows. The Crew discusses…

Episode 446: The Crew’s seeing double while watching Duncan Jones’ Moon. Duncan Jones exploded into the indie filmmaking scene with one of the best directorial debuts. The low budget (5 million) is hardly noticeable, the camera setups and pace show the passion of a younger filmmaker but with the sure-footedness of an experienced one. The Crew discusses…

Episode 445: The Crew’s lack of oxygen may have something to do with forgetting to breathe while watching Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity. This 2013 box office hit was one of a few 3D movies that audiences ate up. The 3D really added to the story and the suspense. And this film is suspenseful, living up to the clichéd phrase “it’s a rollercoaster ride”. The Crew discusses…

The Crew discusses…

Episode 443: The Crew’s surprisingly divided on Rob Reiner’s Misery. This Stephen King adaptation is often cited as one of the best, but some of the Crew question the creative decisions. They like the lens choices but not the lighting. If you love the film or hate it, this episode has something for you. The Crew discusses…

Episode 442: The Crew’s gonna need to watch an episode of Dawson’s Creek after watching Roger Avary’s The Rules of Attraction. This anti teen-comedy is super bleak with mostly unlikable characters, but Avary packs this low budget film with every visual trick in the book, from split screen to reversing the footage. The Crew discusses…

Episode 441: The Crew’s wearing their hand-knit onesies while watching Yorgos Lanthimos’ Bugonia. This Oscar nominated remake is a masterclass in delivering tone. It’s equal parts funny and terrifying without ever losing the truth in the scene or for the characters. It’s a movie that demands a second viewing. The Crew discusses…
