Paul saw a play with Karen Allen and Reed Birney! And we talk about Josh watching Kubrick on the big screen, double features and Starman.
Paul talks about his recent experience performing in a Steve Martin play and we talk about Celine Song's quiet, but confident debut film starring Greta Lee.
Paul is in a new play!!! We get into that and also train our sights on one of the biggest movies of the summer. We talk about Christopher Nolan's sprawling cast, sharp editing and keen visual effects (No CG!)
Now it's time to listen to two guys talk about the Barbie movie... Wait!!! Don't go!! We really have some good thoughts about the winking and honest script, the properly plastic and practical set design and the tightly integrated soundtrack!
(Movie Trailer Voice) - Ethan Hunt is back and he's better than ever. Hang on for over two hours of thrills, spills and chills! And whatever you do, don't...look...down... (End Movie Trailer Voice) In this episode we watch 61 year old movie nerd jump off a cliff and we love every minute of it!!! Haley Atwell is a great addition to the cast and the macguffin is good enough to not get in the way of all of the stunts!
Grab your hat and your whip. We are talking all things Indiana Jones, including the new Dial of Destiny!
This week Paul talks about meeting Karen Allen (!!!) and Josh watches a bunch of movies (The Godfather, All About Eve, Tarantino Rewatch). Our next episodes will focus on Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and Asteroid City.
We return to a theme that we haven't done in a while. Would you believe that neither one of us had seen The Searchers or Shane? Well, this week we correct that injustice. We talk about The Duke and his playing against type, watching these movies in 2023 and how Shane got all of those Oscar nominations.
Showtime, A-holes! The Guardians are back for one last adventure in this configuration, and they have to deal with Adam Warlock and a guy who is channeling Katherine Helmond's facelift from Brazil.
We wade into the mind of Ari Aster (maybe too far?) and his take on mommy issues and anxiety.
We finally have gotten around to our favorite films of 2022! We each count down our favorites and sprinkle some honorable mentions in there. Paul also talks about finishing up his run of performances in Richmond! Watch us on YouTube Here.
We go through the big categories for the big night and pick who we would vote for and who we each think will win.
We catch up with Scott Lang and his family mostly in the quantum realm and get to see Jonathan Majors once again as Kang. Then we sprinkle on a bit of our perceptions of Cocaine Bear. Watch us on YouTube Here
This episode we focus on Sarah Polley's new film focusing on the the importance of being heard. We get into why this needed to be a film instead of a play, how the cinematography and shot selection contributed to the narrative and which scene should have gotten Jessie Buckley an Oscar nod.
This week we are finally getting to two spectacle movies that definitely benefit from being seen in the theater. Babylon is uncompromising and ambitious and Top Gun: Maverick lived up to the hype, in spite of its seemingly "lazy" concept. The movies are back! (fingers crossed)
We are back with a quick cuts episode of what we have been watching. How many of these will get Oscar noms?
We look back at Steven Spielberg looking back at his young life through a well-lit, richly textured lens. Josh enjoyed the journey while Paul was left with questions... Check out our youtube channel: Here
This week we talk about Martin McDonagh's film about the complexities of friendship, family, community and creating art. Great performances across the board, with a beautiful setting utilizing natural light and a pitch-perfect score.
This week we go through some new and old films that we have been watching, what we are excited about seeing next and give our take on the contentious new Sight and Sound Lists.
We are back with our take on a titanic performance by Cate Blanchett in Todd Field's first film in 16 years! Definitely worth the wait. Watch us on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@actorandengineerpodcast9968 YouTube Episode
