We talk about the role David Bowie was born to play (alien), bad overdubbing, Nicolas Roeg's editing style, a younger (but still somehow old) Rip Torn and differ on Candy Clark's performance as the love interest/bad influence.
God of Thunder, meet God Butcher. We talk about the narration as a storytelling device, the bold opening scene and a few other choices that Taika Waititi makes with his newest entry in the MCU.
We have more questions than answers about Alex Garland's original screenplay. We also talk a little about Top Gun: Maverick and Crimes of the Future. Enjoy!
Another Quick Cuts to go through what we have been watching, which is a lot more television than normal. But, we each saw some newer and older movies that we get into, ranging from Lethal Weapon 2 to The Northman. We're getting too old for this viking ship...
How much can one writer/director duo fit into one film? We find out when we talk about the new action/sci-fi/family comedy-drama starring Michelle Yeoh from the minds of The Daniels. Get your chapstick ready.
Better late than never! We finally got together to discuss our top ten movies of 2021, and there will definitely be some surprises!

It took us long enough to get to this movie! Joachim Trier's film has a little bit for everybody (but may not be for everybody). Josh loves the structure of the storytelling and Paul calls it "the most mature coming of age film I've ever seen". Enjoy!

Paul Thomas Anderson looks back at the 70's with his own kind of lens and brings along a bunch of non-actors with him. We talk about the music, running dolly shots and the obstacles that PTA likes to put in his own way.
