movie discussions just aren't the same without Matt being there to recommend some third-string direct to DVD action schlock starring a Schwarzenegger stunt double
All Quiet on the Western Front was ‘aight. I thought it kinda seemed like a betrayal of the novels themes that basically all the human evil of war is projected onto that cartoonishly evil CO at the end, where the novel really highlights how the war actually changed the people who fought it into killers who can’t fit in to a post war society. From a technical standpoint those Germans make good stuff but it’s very emotionally austere compared to more blubbery, dramatic US stuff I was weened on.
The technical aspects of the new All Quiet, I thought, were exemplary. The ambient snyth score too. (What a choice!) The changes to the plot to include stuff about the armistice negotiation (not in the book!) just didn't work for me. It seemed like a conscious ploy to modern liberal audiences concerned about the abstract rise of modern fascism. Imagine a Vietnam War movie that cuts to several scenes of Bobby Kennedy gravely commenting that this war is going to cause a cultural rift in America - just very on the nose and not necessary.
Seeing a lot of folks point out the propensity of Will to trash movies he's never seen, and I agree. He assumes that "Living" is based off an Kazuo Ishiguro novel, which is a lazy assumption based on the common name nationality. The screenplay was written by Ishiguro, but it's based off of the film "Ikiru" by Akira Kurosawa, which is in turn based off of a Tolstoy novel.
It is and isn’t. I think on the “Movies for the Blind” ep they put it like this: the point of the movie is that even the gig economy strivers and workers are not the bottom rung and in fact will step on anyone on that rung to get ahead. There’s also the vanity of the rich family yadda yadda yadda, all the stuff the libs understood.
The only movies up for nomination this year that Will hasn’t seen are Women Talking and All Quiet on the Western Front. Hesse saw the former and they spent almost no time on the latter.
The more common read I've seen so far is that of the fight between the anti treaty IRA and the Free State guys, rather than the IRA (be it the originals in the revolution or the Provos) against the Brits
Having done Hell of Presidents and Hell on Earth, you should do a series called *_Future Hole._* Basically you've been covering the Christman transcendentalist fatalist take on a material conception of world history and the USA in particular, but I feel like you've been ignoring the elephant in the room which is if not the proletarian world revolution, what happens next to America. Even if you believe that the global working class has been defeated in that epochal fashion, completely losing the moment in the first half of the 20th century and the second Thirty Years War and all that, history doesn't stop. So the question is, for Future Hole, _what comes _*_after the USA?_* Because the USA is absolutely doomed, quite apart from climate catastrophe. It's empire is running straight into a wall of global sick-of-your-shit and you-got-nothing. Can the USA even survive the end of its empire, the end of dollar diplomacy, the petro dollar and rglobal reserve currency status with all the massive economic and geostrategic benefits they have granted the USA since 1945 when the British empire/Commonwealth Sterling Area and £Sterling as a global reserve currency were assasinated by Washington, the US's global free lunch as Michael Hudson calls it. I doubt it. All of those psychoses from American settler-colonialism are going to hit that wall too, with the definitive foreclosing of all the political and military possibilities, even the virtualised possibilities via remote warfare and proxy wars rather than GI boots on the ground, of any further "westward expansion" of any further conquering of the frontier. The USA is already in advanced dilapidation and decrepitude, especially in its political class and media system. The echoes with the late Roman Empire, with the late Orttomon empire, with the revolutionary France, whatever you like that maybe isn't respectable historiography to make comparisons with, neverytheless keep growing louder and harder to ignore. So the USA is doomed. But what comes after? What comes next? How does the break-up happen, how does the North American Dark Age take shape, who are the barbarians of the century to start knocking down city walls and liberating the starving peasants, what could be the Chruch of the interregnum, continuing the structures in a toothless ceremonial form while the material, cultural and political ground shifts underneath. Will Canada finally annex Washington state and Alaska as they naturally ought to? Will Mexico reclaim New Mexico? And can the revolution come as the brutal imperial state is forced to tear at the flesh of the American people instead of everyone else's? And will the Chapo boys ever manage to think outside the box of America's outdated, oligarvchical and defunct US Constitution and outside of America's present 2 party system and the allegedly-lesser-evil complicity it enforces?
The fact that Everything Everywhere etc. *did* win Best Picture despite being a gourmet Marvel movie (something Hesse correctly called out) is so indicative that American pop culture has no depths it won’t sink to. You can’t expect those Hollywood folk to have any respect for their own craft, because they don’t.
If they're talking about genre movies that got snubbed, how about Mia Goth and the makeup crew for X? But if Toni Colette wasn't getting nominated for Hereditary, then X isn't getting any nominations, either.
Okay... did I hallucinate waiting the whole episode to hear yall get into 'Crimes of the Future' (2022) and even close on a Cronenberg segment, except it was the wrong one? Losing my (movie) mind (set) here
I don’t know why they’re ignoring the preemptive awards ceremonies for they’re best picture prediction. EEAAO has swept PGA, DGA, WGA, SAG and Critics Choice, the the only anomaly being BAFTA. I am with Matt that it’s a solid 3/5 so I don’t have a dog in this fight, but the movie seems pretty locked for BP with a potential Banshees being a close second. I think what could happen is that the Kwans win best director and Banshees takes BP and OS. Or the vote could just be split and BP goes to Fabelmans or Women Talking, (although the latter seems unlikely since it is not up for anything other than BP and adapted screenplay.) The only chance EEAAO has at missing BP is if it doesn’t win best original screenplay since the two always seem to go hand in hand
I watched it the night after listening and honestly, I don’t really get the hype. I’m sure I’ve seen better Tamil, or other movies in languages from the subcontinent. All those establishing shots that felt like screenshots from Civilization2 really took me out of it too.
Curious how or why Sarah Polley keeps talking to TSA agents about her movie "Women Talking." Why would a TSA agent a) recognize Sarah Polley coming through the security line, b) in the course of screening questions, just happen to ask "hey what's the name of the movie you're working on right now?" Unless this is an invented scenario...
attempting to do this without Felix was a huge mistake "I didn't like EEAAO because it's just Rick and Morty" is straight up one of the most braindead takes I've ever heard
He calls it overly sweet AND Rick and Morty. It can't be both!! It's fine if EEAAO didn't resonate with you but, unlike Rick and Morty, it actually uses it's absurdity to make a point
Barbarian was fine. It had it's moments of both comedy and horror but they're pretty much just the ones mentioned. Outside of the moments they brought up it was kinda just ok. I'd give 3 bags and a soda.
Elvis was such a fucking bad movie. It was cheesy as fuck. Dogshit, spastic editing. Really poor sound mixing for a music biopic. Tom Hanks was terrible, like his character became unintentionally comedic.
When they talked about TAR, I felt so fucking dumb. Like I could never have thought of that theory. I was watching it like it was the Cancel Culture arthouse action adventure epic of our time.
It's been done before, so if you've seen this mechanic used it's easier to spot. Kind of similar to a story where the protagonist becomes invisible all of a sudden or has to solve their own murder. Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus seems like a potential comparison
@@sammymcfone8281 Uh, no. I happen to reside in a pretty progressive part of the country, and generally like movies. The Hollywood of today is a freakshow. It's a joke. Do they even make movies anymore?
@@sammymcfone8281 Working class Alabamian here, born and raised, still living in the state, probably always will. I find your general attitude toward country folk to be problematic gatekeeping of the left. You are the exact reason why socialism is "for them city folk." You should really work on your perception of rural America, child.
My reading of Tar was way simpler. That's why I didn't get that last act. It felt like a complete deflation of the tension that had been building throughout the first two.
Triangle of Sadness take was straight trash, far more interesting film than they give it credit for, it goes a little deeper than "rich people bad and they should feel bad", the third act in particular drove that point home. EEAAO take was p dumb too. Which is fine but its annoying when they project shallow readings of these films onto the culture to deconstruct why other people like something they don't, ala "EEAAO is j rick and morty, cause everything is rick and morty" is the exact type of shit chapo tends to make fun of. still need something to listen to in order to keep the void at bay while i wash dishes tho.
Too many likes for me, maybe a nitpick but it’s definitely something they can work on and it’ll be a solid podcast with a spot in my rotation. Just some constructive feedback if they’re looking for any.
RRR>>>>>>>>>>>>>EEAAO Laughable it's not in contention for "best picture" let alone not for best international film. Seppo bias/exceptionalism is ludicrous.
Sadly not being included in international films is apparently the fault of the country reps themselves for not submitting it. Which is apparently how that category gets its short list.

As soon as I heard the shallow and, frankly, moronic take on Women Talking, I bailed. It's the only one of the best picture contenders I really care about. As a leftist, I'm really surprised they didn't have a more positive view of it.
"I think CODA might be the worst one of those, I haven't even seen this movie." That line says it all -- these people just want to hear themselves talk and form opinions based on their own presuppositions without actually knowing what they're talking about. This is like that awful episode about The New York Times best-of list where they haven't seen a single one but tore them all apart. They didn't even know Sarah Polley was a director? This is like listening to annoying eight-year-olds ramble incessantly about their moronic opinions.

I love you guys and I’ve loved almost every episode of the show that you produce but this one I’m sorry I just couldn’t hang…..I have a problem listening to ANYONE who overuses the word “like”and Hessa was LIKE saying it LIKE five or six times in LIKE every paragraph…I LIKE tried to keep interested but it was LIKE the word just kept LIKE popping up! I was LIKE “OMG stop it”. It was LIKE making me crazy …..
As a Californian its weird hearing what used to be called “valley girl” accent from probably half of Gen Z.
Seriously as a millennial that grew up in a valley in California it's like actually melting my brain , obviously I love it but like why though. Could I perhaps just like drop all pretences and just talk like exactly like this? Because like I will do it , I will like seriously become her the Valley Girl Boss the world wants. "Like listen folks we love the word like don't we folks , like seriously."
Because they’re putting it on
...I've been sending these guys money every month for five-something years, and I think this is the worst thing I've heard. And I like them. I mean, I send them money....
This made me laugh
oh yeah this totally pales in comparison to the good ol days when they had hipster pedo virgil texas on every ep to make 8 of the shittiest simpsons references youve ever heard per episode. If only that guy was there to take 1/4 of your money still it would really spice the show up again
@@David-tl6ix Hey if someone wants to make an accusation on some messages that have since then came up with nothing also drops the Call of Cthulhu eps then he'd be welcomed back
You don't need to say "Everything Everywhere All At Once" every time for fuck's sake
This guest may have the most annoying accent/elocution I’ve ever heard. Everything’s a question and every other word is “like”.
…get real problems.
@@ih8google already do.
Man I have this problem too sometimes. A solution I've come up with is how there's a button where you can pause the video
nice profile picture
Omg, give me a break. You're not a woman.
someone who looks like you with your haircut saying something like this is probably the funniest thing ive seen all night, thank you so much
go read your harry potter, nerd
@@420bongking I think it's peculiar that "trans" people have a very narrow view of what a woman SHOULD look like. They apparently all go for the large breast implants as part of their "transition". Funny how these people in particular see things as innocuous as a haircut as gender specific(Heidi looks sexy AF, by the way). Ironic, isn't it, that for all their rhetoric these people in particular have difficulty seeing past surface level aesthetics. Really strange, that. Vexing.
@@foxtrotalphaone dog its not trans women's fault that her haircut's whack asf
@@heidimelcarek3677 just because noone wants to fuck you doesn't mean you should put that on trans people lol
Didnt like the take on "all quiet on the western front". did not like it one bit
