Movie Go Round

In this round's You Did This to Us, we had to endure 2020's Dolittle. This movie seemed to value effects above story, famous names above voiceover talent, and didn't seem to value direction much at all. David, Brett, and Nicole were treated to a disheveled RDJ, a generic British teenager, a polar bear with a goofy hat, and a constipated dragon. Did we find anything to love?

In this Around the World pick, David introduces Brett and Nicole to a German film from 2003, Good Bye Lenin! Directed by Wolfgang Becker, this comedic drama follows a son's efforts to keep his mother from learning about the fall of East Germany and the Berlin Wall after waking from a coma, missing the revolution. A film steeped in one, giant lie: does the team think Becker pulls it off? Is it endearing or irresponsible? Next episode is You Did This to Us: We're watching Doolittle!

For this Movie-Go-Round Future Classic, we welcomed guest Justin Robert Young of Politics Politics Politics and Night Attack to pick apart Quentin Tarantino's latest opus and love letter to L.A., Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Come listen to Justin, Brett, Nicole, and David pick apart this fable of an actor who's washing up in the face of hippie culture, and his loyal stunt double whose career is likely to tank in tandem if they don't catch a break -- or find a new direction.

It's PrimeFlix Roulette week, and the Movie-Go-Round wheel gods bestowed upon Brett, David, and Nicole the much-delayed sequel, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. What better day than Black Friday could there be to release our frustrated discussion of this gripping drama about how terrible it is for rich people to lose so much money that they become...somewhat less rich?

It's Nicole's Movie-Go-Round New to Two pick, and she's chosen the Richard E. Grant showcase (and English comedic cult classic) Withnail and I. This tale of two starving actors who have made a grievous error by going on vacation has something for everyone to appreciate. Did David and Brett appreciate it? We discuss the comedic bits, dramatic bits, possibly homophobic bits (welcome to a movie made in the '80s about the end of the '60s) in this tale of melancholy Brits.

You Did This to Us again, and boy was this a big bucket of yiiiiikes. Your intrepid Movie-Go-Round crew of Brett, David, and Nicole had to watch Fifty Shades of Grey, and while the movie is better than the book, that is a low, low bar. We discuss how this film does kink a disservice while romanticizing a toxic relationship and skimming over real trauma instead of addressing it head-on. Also how there is non-sexy sex in it. And distracting music. And... well, listen for yourself. Email the show at hi@mgrpodcast.com. Find us online by heading over to mgrpodcast.com.

What happens when a disco-pop master producer is in charge of the restoration of an all-time classic of science fiction films? You get a hybrid that is a cultural artifact of the 1920s and the 1980s simultaneously. Nicole's to blame for bringing this Movie-Go-Round Around the World pick, so insistent that she even bought it for Brett for Christmas. Making David watch was just a bonus.

It was David's turn to choose our Movie-Go-Round Future Classic, and he brought the gorgeous anime Your Name (Kimi No Na Wa). This film adds extra dimensions beyond the body swap concept, reaching into areas that are truly profound. Nicole, Brett, and David talk about liminal spaces, gender roles, the bonds between us, and the ephemeral nature of dreams, among many other things. Join us on our journey!

In this Movie-Go-Round Primeflix Roulette episode, we watched a Michael J. Fox romantic comedy, so you know this movie is wall-to-wall wit and charm, right?... Right?... uh oh... Unfortunately, David, Brett, and Nicole discovered that even the immense charisma of young Mr. Fox is not enough to carry this dead weight of a film, For Love or Money. We got to see a tiny bit of the secret world of a concierge and a lot of a bad "love" story and scheming for one's capitalist dreams. But we had a fun (if briefer than usual) discussion about it.

You know what's better than a million podcasts? A billion podcasts. For our Movie-Go-Round podcast's New to Two, Brett brought the David Fincher critical smash The Social Network. Somehow David and Nicole were late adopters on this film, but once we got into this tech pool, we dove deep, touching on the topics of exclusivity, entitlement, and rampant insecurity. We discussed the script, the acting, the shots, the iconic score, the iconic trailer, and more. Come listen! You can just lurk if you want to. Email the show at hi@mgrpodcast.com.

For this Movie-Ghoul-Round's Around the World, David picked the TIFF and Netflix sensation, The Platform (El Hoyo). In exchange for a degree to get himself ahead in life, Goreng volunteers for six months in the "Vertical Self-Management Center," a prison in which the residents are literally stacked on top of each other, with two inmates per floor and a vertical shaft where the food platform comes through for two minutes a day. Among many deep musings, David, Brett, and Nicole talked about the filmmaking, the less-than-subtle metaphors, the fascination with the dystopian prison genre, and whether it's possible for one person to fight an entrenched system.

As our Future Classic for this Movie-GHOUL-Round, Nicole selected the haunting It Follows. Is the pursuing "It" a metaphor for STIs, the looming specter of adult responsibility, or death itself? Or is it just a demonic curse that likes to play with its prey before inevitably catching up to and killing them with Its no-no parts?

In the first-ever Can We Just Talk About... week, a pick of Brett's won the coin toss. The panel continues Movie-Ghoul-Round 2021 with the 2006 horror classic, The Descent. We discuss the darkness and claustrophobic nature of this film alongside how bad of a friend Juno is. (Never go spelunking with unreliable friends!)

Do you like horror? Do you like comedy? Do you like gross-out movies? Well, you are in luck, my friends! We've kicked off this year's Movie-GHOUL-Round in grand(?) style. For New to Two, Brett chose the splatstick classic Dead Alive ("Braindead" in non-U.S. markets) for David and Nicole to watch for the first time.

You Did This to Us. We had to watch 2004's Catwoman. It features CGI cats, CGI Halle Berry, a Vaseline-lensed Sharon Stone, and a script written mostly by (sexist) committee. We even inflicted it on our guest, Patrick Walsh of ScreamQueenz: Where Horror Gets Gay, who said he was up for anything, but we may have gone too far. What did Patrick, Nicole, David, and Brett think of this would-be superhero flick? Is it the cat's pajamas, or a "Klingon" from the litterbox? Take a listen and find out!

How is this the first time we've tackled Jackie Chan? It's quite the introduction that David chose for his Around the World pick, and we had a lot to talk about: Some legendary stunt work, Jackie's trademark "I can make a weapon out of anything" style, his penchant for slapstick, and treatment of women both on and off camera.

This round inaugurated our new NetPrime/Primeflix Roulette, as we included Amazon Prime streaming options in our randomizer for the first time. As a result, we watched the most recent Rambo movie, Rambo: Last Blood, marveling at its level of brutality (and Brett, David, and Nicole are not a squeamish bunch), obvious political slant, and plot holes big enough to let an entire cartel through the border.

This round's New to Two was brought by Nicole, who believes this to be one of the most visually beautiful films ever made. Did David and Brett agree? We talked about the performances of Lee Pace and child actor Catinca Untaru, the hazards of movie stunt work in 1915, and the fascinating contrast between the verbal story-within-a-story the stuntman is telling versus how the little girl imagines it. Have a listen and see what you think. Next week we watch a Netflix Roulette pick, Rambo: Last Blood. Email the show at hi@mgrpodcast.com.
