#174 – The Handmaiden (Ahgassi)

"Certain positions are more effort than they're worth."

For this Movie-Go-Round Around the World, David selected Park Chan-Wook's The Handmaiden. This beautiful and twisty (and occasionally twisted) long-con tale wasn't an unqualified hit with all of us. Come listen to hear about where we think this movie may have gone wrong, how steamy things actually get, the trials of colonization, the wild world of commercial infant sales, and more!

Encore episode: The Great Beauty (La Grande Bellezza)

"...and he just takes her to pieces."

In this week's Movie-Go-Round, we revisit vignettes from the life of aging raconteur and journalist Jep, a sharp observer of life but participant only in his limited sphere of friends. Jep, at 65, is only now coming to grips with his age and mortality, as he contemplates his quest for life’s great beauty. Join Nicole, Brett, and David as we tackle some really big questions like, What is the difference between a “movie” and a “film”? What is the great beauty of life? And what is this ancient nun doing here?

#173 – Everything Everywhere All at Once

"The mustard! Where does that come from?!"

For this Movie-Go-Round Future Classic, Brett wanted us to evaluate Everything Everywhere All at Once. Possibly the most recent film named in this category, did Nicole and David have the stones to declare it a classic already? We dug into mother-daughter relationships, multiverse maneuvers, desk awards, sign and dog twirling, and of course, Raccacoonie. Come listen to us get to the heart of it all.

Encore episode: The Emoji Movie

"Enjoy our suffering."

It was Disaster Week for one of our hosts, so sadly, we had to postpone our new Future Classic episode. To fill your ear holes, we brought back this disaster of a movie that we just can't let go. Brett, Nicole, David, and guest Bandrew Scott of the Podcastage YouTube channel and Bandrew Says podcast (among other projects) bat around the confusing, frustrating, maddening, senseless mess that is The Emoji Movie. Enjoy?

We will return next week to discuss our Future Classic nominee, Everything Everywhere All at Once.

#172 – The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

"Jumpy Legolas was NEVER a good idea."

This Movie-Go-Round week's theme is Can We Just Talk About...? We spun the wheel and The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring popped up, and boy, did we go to town. With two fans of the book and a critical eye, we asked the hard questions, like why does no one tell Pippin anything? Why CAN'T the eagles fly the ring to Mordor? Why didn't Elrond "accidentally" knock Isildur into the volcano and save everyone the trouble? And which Balrog is better?

#171 – Midnight Special

"This film is a diamond in the rough, 100 percent."

We kick off a new go-round with a New to Two from Nicole, the 2016 film Midnight Special. This under-the-radar science fiction road movie is an unfolding mystery involving a cult, secret government transmissions, a child with inexplicable powers, and quietly powerful acting performances all the way around. What did David and guest Corey Scott think?
