SPEAKER_01

It's the pop culture show with Cult Classic Swagger. This is Inglorious Brothers. I'm Matt Harper, and together with my brother Justin, we dive into the deep end of the Zeitgeist each week to bring you cool talk and hot takes. No genre is too specific, no topic too broad, and no rabbit hole too deep as we open our minds and enjoy each other's company. Sound good? Then let's ride. Hello and welcome to Inglorious Brothers. I'm Matt and I'm here with my brother Justin. And on today's show, we're making it two weeks in a row with an in-studio guest as Mark Schaefer becomes our first ever repeat guest for our 2026 Most Anticipated Movies of the Year show. Now, sure, it's already May, but everyone knows that most of the major films of the year come out in the summer or later. So, in my estimation, we haven't missed much. Uh, so let's start right there. Mark, what notable films have we missed so far this year? What what films have you seen that have been released this year that we can include in this list?

SPEAKER_02

Well, my first film has kind of an odd trajectory. It's called Toe. And I've been chasing this film for a couple of months, and it's been really elusive. To W. It's been really elusive because it had a release, but it didn't get much of a release. And from what I could understand, the release date was um what was it? The release date was like March. But it was impossible to find. It was a festival film, and now it's available everywhere on streaming for money. Um so I have not seen it yet. I'm really looking forward to it. Now if you want to know what it is, I'll tell you. Yeah, what's it? So the is uh well give you some of the background. It's uh 2025 American drama directed by Stephen Lang, written by Jonathan Keasey and Brian Bowen, and stars Rose Byrne in another Rose Byrne film, because he's everywhere, Dominique, who was in the holdovers, who I've been waiting for his his second act, Demi Lovato, Ariana DeBose, Octavia Spencer, uh Simon Rex, and uh Elsie Fisher. I'm not sure what it is. Uh premiered at the 2025 Troy Becca Festival on June 7, 2025. Didn't have a release until this year. Uh March 20th. Okay, so it's Amanda Ogle, a homeless Seattle woman, fights away out of uh tow company hell to reclaim the car that had held her life together after receiving a tow bill for twenty-one thousand six hundred and thirty-four dollars. I wrote the trailer. It's very interesting because it's a true story. And it's basically Roseburne against a corrupt tow company. And the trailer looks kind of interesting, but I like any kind of working class against the system story. So for me now I'm probably gonna wait until the middle of the month to see it because it it's it's everywhere, it's on Amazon, it's on uh YouTube, but I'm not gonna watch it until the end of the end of the month. But I like those kind of working class um you know, usually woman against the system. I mean there's Aaron Brokovich. Yeah, I mean I I it's um from what I can glean from the trailer. Sassar, I think, plays a you know, uh out of the law school lawyer who decides to take the case. It's a true story. Sessa Sessa in the Albert Finney role. Sort of, but no, but he you know, he's just like trying to make a buck. Except he's a young enough. He's pretty from what I saw from the it's a comedy. From what I saw from Sessa, he's pretty good. And he's been away for a it's taken him a long time to get a second role. And he was great in the holdovers. And I said, Wait, where's this guy been? But you know, they make your weight. Yeah, no.

SPEAKER_01

Well, it looks uh it looks good. I'm actually I'm glad that you uh that you brought this one up because I just heard on um I I believe it was 99% invisible podcast, which is like about architecture and design. Um I think they did uh episode about the whole system of of like towing and cars getting towed and towed lots and and like the ways that they design these things to get as much money out of you as possible. I think in the end, the guy that was like the one, I think it all started because a guy had his car towed and he went to get it back and he realized, oh my God, this is like a whole thing and blah, blah, blah. And he at the end of the day, he was like, if you are able right then and there to like the the moment you are are next to your car or near your car, pay whoever, whatever you have to do to get that car back. Because the longer time elapses and the further and further away you get from it, the harder it becomes to get it back. And it's just like this vicious circle. So that's what this is about. I'm quite quite stoked to see that. And of course, Rose Byrne coming off of off of if I had legs, I'd kick you. I mean, that's like one of the best performances of the last year. Snubbed. Yeah, she's in everything now. Yeah, she's good. Um, all right. You want to go next, Justin, or shall I? You can go next. All right. Um, Power Ballad from John Carney. I've been I've been a Carney guy since once. I think um, once I just think it was like one of my absolute favorite movies. I've watched it 50 times. Um, I've listened to the soundtrack 50 times. I've learned how to play songs off of the soundtrack. Um, and this one has Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas. Paul Rudd is like a legendary rock star um who's like on a slump and he reaches out to Nick Jonas, who's this like young star on the up and on the up and coming, uh, to uh help him out with a song. And then I I don't want to spoil what happens, um, but I you can get a sense from the trailer of like of like the the the inciting incident that sets the plot in motion, as I would imagine. But um love you gotta love Paul Rudd um and anything by John Carney. I'm gonna watch. Um what's the movie you're talking about? The previous Carney movie. Well, once was one of them. Oh, once was but he also did Sing Street, which was a good one. Yes, um, and then he did another, he did that one with Mark, there was one with Mark Ruffalo that he did that was kind of music related, I think. Um, so uh I'll start off with Power Ballad directed by John Carney. What do you got, Justin?

SPEAKER_00

Um so as while I was doing research, one of the ones that absolutely like stuck out to me was um Tom Cruise is gonna do a non-action film called Digger, uh coming out October 2nd. Um Alejandro Gonzalez and Arutu is the director. Uh it's Tom Cruise, Sandra Holler, John Goodman, uh Jesse Plemens, Love Him, Sophia Wilde, Emma Darcy, and Bern Gorman. It is the most powerful man in the world embarks on a frantic mission to prove that he's humanity's savior. And I am all in, dude. Like I that's a lot.

SPEAKER_02

And that's all that's all they got. I can't find anything about that film. There's a teaser trailer.

SPEAKER_01

Did you watch the teaser trailer?

SPEAKER_00

It's just like it's like a shadow thing, right? Like where you just see something in the shadow.

SPEAKER_01

No, it's like Tom, it's like Tom Cruise is like out on like a boardwalk, you know, like as the sun, as the sun is as the sun is setting, and he's carrying a shovel around. It's really weird. Like at the what what they've dribbled out at this point in time is very little, somewhat intriguing. I mean, Inyardu is the guy that gave us uh one of my all-time faves, Birdman, although I know that movie gets shit on a lot, but I love Birdman and I love the Revenant as well, um, which was his other big one.

SPEAKER_02

Um the great auto was Emeros Peros. Yeah. That goes back. I saw that one as well. Mind blow. Yeah, that's and nobody ever they never talk about that film. That that film is on real Babbel?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. He made amazing. But his last film was an absolute disaster. He came out with a film like a year and a half ago. I can't remember what it was called, but it was a complete disaster. You mean after the revenant? Um, yes, yes. Really? Um I think you're right. But that's gonna be interesting. That's just like an interesting. I mean, when you take the three totally disparate things, Tom Cruise, comedy, and Inyarito, like that's it. Is it a comedy?

SPEAKER_00

We didn't think that Tom Cruise can do the comedy because I mean he was transcendent in Tropic Thunder. I mean, he completely swallowed that character whole and you know, completely made that that whole like other side of that movie that wasn't in the jungle.

SPEAKER_02

But why does Tom Cruise, who can do anything he wants, continue to do the same thing? I mean, I'd love to see Tom Cruise in a romantic comedy. But that's what he's saying. I know, but finally he's doing it.

SPEAKER_01

Oh you know, he can do whatever he wants for the last 20 years. Well, I think it's because number one, like he's a control freak. Yeah. Number two, he is obsessed. Yeah, I think he's obsessed with like maintaining like this image of like this youthful, powerful guy, and he has a hard time, like, even though even though in Tropic Thunder he did let himself be seen as like this hairy, sweaty, kind of, kind of overweight like dickhead. But um, I I get your meaning.

SPEAKER_00

But I also think when I think when it comes to the action stuff, I think he really, really likes to push his own boundaries. He does a lot of his own stunts. He does a lot of his own flying. So Maverick, he's flying planes, you know, in the top in the in the um the Mission Impossible movies, flying planes, like he's always doing something that so I'm sure that there's some amount of just vanity for him that he gets to do some really wild shit.

SPEAKER_02

And you know, he just won't come out of his lane. And probably people telling him, even he probably has people telling him, don't get out of your lane.

SPEAKER_00

Truckloads of money at him, too.

SPEAKER_02

Exactly. And it's not only him, it's this whole m well, he feels who's muted for it. No, no, no, don't go out and do Shakespeare talk.

SPEAKER_01

The uh the the mo the most recent film from Inyari too was this movie called Bardo. Did you watch Bardo? That was it was trash was so not good. I never heard exactly. Wow. Um all right, Mark, you're up.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, alright. Here's another one that's uh matter of fact, we just grabbed this one. This is called The Christopher's. It's uh another I forgot his name. It's Soderbergh. It's Soderbergh, it's another Soderbergh. How did I miss this? Uh it's uh I don't know much about it. Uh Christopher is uh black comedy.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, Michael Cole, Ian Kellen, James Corden, and Jessica Gunning.

SPEAKER_02

Right. Uh premiered at Toronto Festival, uh, September 24th. What's it about? What's it about?

SPEAKER_00

Christopher is desperate for an inheritance. Two siblings conspire to forge their father's unfinished paintings so that they become valuable after his death. And Ian McKellen is the artist. Ian McKellen, right.

SPEAKER_02

And who's Mikaela Cole? I don't know who she is.

SPEAKER_00

She is the artist that is like that they that they task to finish his paintings.

SPEAKER_02

She's well-known British actress, apparently.

SPEAKER_00

She is. So yeah, I couldn't. It's out, it's out currently now. You could actually go see this right now. Um, and it looks very, very interesting. It is on my list.

SPEAKER_02

We'll probably see it this week because I owe her two movies. My wife. And this is gonna be one of them.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Oh, you know what? I think I think Bayla Cole is also in that the she's uh she's in the uh Ann Hathaway movie that's out right now, Mother Mary, about Anne Hathaway's like a a gaga-esque rock star. Wow, that that really tanked. I was looking at the numbers of that film. I want to see it though. I've heard a lot of critics talking about it, and it's like there's some stuff about it that I really want to see. Like apparently there's some really artful, some artful set pieces and stuff like that. So that would be streaming soon. I want to see it, even though I know that it's it's not super well regarded.

SPEAKER_02

Um there featuring blah blah blah. A weighted average uh I got one review. It's a Soderbergh film. One would expect a twist, but that's the twist here is that it isn't really a twist. A twist in Sodoburg films?

SPEAKER_01

Soderbergh. I I don't know. I feel like he has sort of like reduced himself to a formula in the past five years where he's like, you know what? Yeah, I'm I'm a totally competent filmmaker, yeah, and I can crank out a movie in two and a half weeks of shooting, um, you know, that's gonna be super tight. And I got the Netflix like I got the Netflix vehicle on on speed dial, and I can just pop one of these things out. Um, you know, I can shoot Monday through Friday, it's super simple. And like I I wish he would do something huge, you know. Had a hell of a year last year.

SPEAKER_02

Think about it. You know, those two films. Right. I mean, God. Both good, but both just kind of like Oh, you want it to go big? Good, not great. Good not great.

SPEAKER_01

That's what I'm saying. I mean, I would say Blue Moon was almost very good. Wait, Blue Moon wasn't Soderbergh. No, Sodaberg did that one with that. You're thinking of Link later. So Link later. Sodaberg did Soderbig did the one with Michael Fassbender that was like a spy thriller, like him and his wife. Um, that was it was like totally serviceable, but like, you know, it was fine. So uh I am going to jump to my next one, and honestly, I was not able to find much about it at all, but it has to be on any list that I make of anticipated movies, and that is Jack of Spades, directed by Joel Cohen and starring Josh O'Connor. Um, I'm a giant Cohen Brothers fan from way, way, way back. Uh, I love Josh O'Connor. I loved um I loved the uh the tennis movie. Uh I loved the um the one last year he did the um the picture from uh oh I should have taken more notes. Uh Kelly Riker. Remember the remember he did the uh the the Kelly Riker uh the mastermind about the art thieves?

SPEAKER_02

Um he was also no was he in um Wake Up Deadman? Yeah, and he was in Wake Up Deadman. How do these people come out of nowhere and wind up in 12 movies?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I think he's great, man. The guy's a great actor.

SPEAKER_00

Because they share a lot of casting directors, I'm sure. And once you're one, yeah, and agents, and you're gonna start getting more. Um this also stars, it's also gonna strancis McDormand making Return to a Cohen Brothers movie. That's right, that's right. Leslie Manville.

SPEAKER_01

It's not a Cohen Brothers movie. It's Joel Cohen. It is Joel Cohen, sorry. The Cohen Brothers don't work together anymore.

SPEAKER_00

Um Damien Damien Lewis is who I love will also be in it. Uh, and Patsy Farron. Do you know anything about the plot? I know it, yeah. It's a Gothic mystery, is all I got. Gothic mystery, written, produced, and directed by Joel Cohen.

SPEAKER_01

Gotcha. All right, what do you got next?

SPEAKER_00

Uh, where's oh, uh, and I think you have this one too. The dog stars, the new Ridd Ridley Scott. Yeah, yeah. That sounded weird. This one is this one is uh due August 28th, starring Jacob Alordy, uh Oscar nominee, Margaret Qually, Guy Pierce, uh Josh Brolin, Benedict Wong, and Alice and Janney. This is survivors of a deadly pandemic traverse a post-apocalyptic landscape to find the origin of a mysterious radio transmission.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, Ridley Scott never stops, doesn't he? Incredible. Yeah. A new Ridley Scott picture.

SPEAKER_01

It's gonna be good.

SPEAKER_02

It's gonna be good.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, and I'm sure it's gonna be very good. And it's got a great cast.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, yeah, okay. The dog stars. Yeah, I looked at that one.

SPEAKER_02

Uh what um, where are you going next, Mark? Okay, I got a film called Ladies First, which I think is uh premiering on Netflix next end of the month. I saw the original French version of this. Uh so I'm not gonna give you all right. The movie was called uh I Am Not an Easy Man by Eleanor Pontin. I'm not giving the French cast. Satya Baron Cone is in it. Oh, Roswell Pike.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Richard E. Grant. A male chauvinist finds himself in an alternate world where the social power dynamics between man and woman are reverse. It was a very entertaining French film. How are they gonna screw this up? I don't know. But it was a great idea. And very timely. I have nothing on it. That's all I got.

SPEAKER_01

I think I think uh I would watch anything based on the strength of Sasha Baron Cohen. Like that dude is he's like one of the greats in my opinion.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, he's come back. He's been on a few he'll be in a few this year. But I can't find anything. If you were interested, you can look up the French film to get some more uh meat on this. But that was a very entertaining film. Nice.

SPEAKER_01

Well, I I uh I have it on my list as well.

SPEAKER_02

Uh oh you do. Okay.

SPEAKER_01

Um man, I got so many on my list I'm forgetting about.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I didn't I didn't do that.

SPEAKER_01

Uh next this is almost like doing a movie draft, like who gets to introduce who who's gonna who's gonna steal one from the other guy. So it's not competitive, man. I know, I know. It's just fun. Because you want to be the one you you want to be the one that drops it. All right. Next, I am gonna go to I Love Boosters. This is the new film by Boots Riley. I keep seeing seeing uh trailers for this on social media. Yeah, yeah. I don't think it's he's the one he's the guy that did Sorry to Bother You, a hilarious movie with Lakeith Stanfield. Um this one's got the the always incredible Kiki Palmer, it's also got Will Polter, it's got Don Cheadle and Demi Wollering in supporting roles. I mean Demi Vollering. No, Demi Moore. Oh, Demi Moore. Demi Moore. I just wrote Demi and I'm like, oh wait, Demi Vollering. Cyclist Demery Demi Wallering will not be appearing in the latest Boots Riley movie. Um it's the comedic crime caper film. It's tied into fashion designers. This this movie's gonna be hilarious. This movie's gonna be absolutely hilarious. I'm super stoked. I'm all in for Boots Riley. I love Lakeith Stanfield. Um that was a wild film, sorry to bother you.

SPEAKER_00

Dude, he's have you ever watched it have you ever watched Atlanta?

SPEAKER_01

He's great in Atlanta. I started watching Atlanta your recommendation one time. I've heard it's good. It's really, really good.

SPEAKER_02

That was the one when everybody turned into horses or something. Sorry to bother you. Where at the end it had a it had a crazy turn.

SPEAKER_01

You thought it was you thought it was about like a guy who was like a uh telemarkety guy, but yeah, but then it turned into aliens. I think aliens and like transformation. What a weird flick that was. Good drug drug film. All right, what do you got next, Justin?

SPEAKER_00

Um, so this one comes out May 29th, Backrooms. I cannot wait to watch this movie. Uh so this is director Kane Parsons. Uh it's starring Choedi Edgefor, uh Mark DuPlas, and Renate Arensiv. Um as an internet urban legend, all right, and creepypasta, or so this is it it it is an internet-born urban legend, and creepypasta, and I will tell you what creepypasta is, creepypasta refers to a user-generated, often viral horror story or urban legend spread through the internet designed to frighten and unsettle or shock readers. That is a creepypasta. So it's it is based on that. Um it is a horror concept focusing on empty, nostalgic, or transitional places that feel unsettling. It is described as an infinite, surreal maze of empty office rooms with yellow wallpaper, damp carpets, and buzzing fluorescent lights, acts accessible by accidental, no clipping or glitching out of reality. So essentially, from what I understand, what's it called again? It's called back rooms. Back rooms, right? All right. And uh Agia 4 like finds he's like in like a department store or like a grocery store or something like that. And he like ends up in this like maze of of of space in the back room, and like he's trying to get people to believe what he's what he found. And it looks uh extremely unsettling. And it gives me vibes of um what's the show, what's the show on Apple TV uh with Adam um Severance. Severance, yeah. It gives me vibes of that like that severance type of of of office space. But it's like, you know, lots of hallways and for lots of lights and nothing and it looks really, really creepy. And I bet it I bet it ends up being really, really good.

SPEAKER_02

I I wonder on I wonder why offices are now becoming like these uh these allegories for like Kafka-esque kind of experiences. Like severance, like this. This looks very Kafka-esque.

SPEAKER_00

Because everybody's working from home now. There's a lot of like remote work since COVID. And, you know, there's nothing scarier than a fluorescent, you know, no light office. I think that, you know, cubicle that all you get to do is be stuck in all day.

SPEAKER_01

This looks so good. It's giving me vibes of that secret mall apartment thing that we saw too, because it's got all of this like this like handheld, like, like old camcorder looking footage and stuff. This looks so good. We have the track.

SPEAKER_02

Looks interesting.

SPEAKER_01

Wow. Yep.

SPEAKER_02

Wow. This is gonna be wild. Good, good. Remember that remember that movie with uh Malkovich with uh on the uh the third and the uh three and third and a half floor, the Kaupin film where they discovered this whole secret space. What what movie is that?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, what was that movie called? Oh god. The Charlie Kaufman movie. Yeah, the Calvin.

SPEAKER_02

Remember that space that they found the whole hidden office rooms are interesting. You could do a whole theme.

SPEAKER_01

I think a lot of this, it's like somewhere, somewhere in here, it's like what Justin was talking about with the you know, with the zoomification of things, um, but at the same time, there's like creeping AI. You know, is this is this what is this a look at the future when offices are empty because none of those people are employed anymore?

unknown

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_02

That also reminded me of early video games when they would go like this around the rooms. Remember the early video games?

SPEAKER_00

Yes, yeah, remember first first-person shooters. Yeah, first person. So videos the early first-person shooters like Doom and Frankenstein.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, you remember you you go from room to room, like Absolutely. But they were replicating film. Now, well, who knows what they were? They might have been replicating like cameras on cops helmets going from room to room. Well, you want to change change the face? You're up next. Tuner. Uh 2025 Crime Thriller. Dragon by Daniel Rohr.

SPEAKER_03

2025.

SPEAKER_02

2025. It's already out. Huh? It's already out. Not out. Um not out. Uh, probably not released yet. May 22nd, 2026. It was a telluride. Talented, I got a good synopsis. Talented piano tuners, meticulous skills for tuning pianos lead him to discover an unexpected aptitude for tracking safes. How about that?

SPEAKER_00

That does sound very interesting. Okay, I'm in on it.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I read about this one a while ago. Turning his life upside down, of course. And there's more. So it looks like he's tuning a piano for Dustin Hoffman. Compelling star talent tuner enhances its 50k per setup with a smart sense of humor and visible characterizations. And Dustin Hoffman is in it. Yeah. Playing the tuner. Uh, there are two guys. This one looks good. This one I'm looking forward to.

SPEAKER_00

I'm in on that.

SPEAKER_02

That's what I'm looking forward to.

SPEAKER_00

Very interesting concept.

SPEAKER_02

This one looks so looks and the guy who plays the tuner is a breakout star, apparently.

SPEAKER_01

It's so fun when they take these like little niche worlds, the world of piano tuners, and you know, you see that movie in that.

SPEAKER_02

It's uh yeah. Remember Breaking In? The one about uh the safecracker? Yeah. Yeah, the save. Remember, remember that? Yeah. And that guy was an interesting actor, got nowhere. Remember young guy. Remember Rafifi? Oh, Rafifi.

SPEAKER_01

All right. Rafifi. I am up next. I'm just gonna go ahead and uh take off the board David Fincher meets Cliff Booth on Netflix, the adventures of Cliff Booth. We get to see part two of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. I don't know what to think about this, but the fact that Fincher is directing like Quentin Tarantino characters, like well, and it's and it's it's off of a like a dumped script by by uh by Tarantino.

SPEAKER_00

So it is Tarantino's writing.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, I mean, there's no way I'm gonna be. Is it one movie and not a series?

SPEAKER_00

It's just a movie. I think it's just a movie. I the I thought it was a series originally.

SPEAKER_01

It's called The Adventures of Cliff Booth. So Cliff Booth was by far the best character in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Uh I think I don't know, I don't know where it would sit in like my top 50 scenes ever, but when he beats the shit out of Bruce Lee, I mean it's just it's a great scene.

SPEAKER_00

I love this scene with with with uh with um with Austin Butler in the house with the dog when he's like in the dog attacks, he likes to do it. I love this scene with Bruce. He's on he's on acid or mushrooms or whatever he took that uh I love this scene with Bruce Darn. By the way, this is great in that the cast for this is ridiculous. Alright, so obviously you've got Brad Pitt in the titular role, you've got Elizabeth DeBecky, you've got Scott Kahn, Carla Gugino, who I love, Timothy Olivant, who I love, Peter Weller, and then Yahya uh Abdul Mateen II is also in it from my new favorite Marvel show, uh Wonder Man.

SPEAKER_02

Wonder Was he the guy who played Malcolm X in that movie about Memphis where all the African Americans uh guys met for party? I don't I don't know.

SPEAKER_01

Was he the guy? Oh, the one where it was like after the Muhammad Ali from the guy. It was like Jim Brown, Malcolm X. Good movie. Uh Alicol X. And uh the other one was the singer, um Sam Cook. Was it Sam Cook? I think Sam Cook was dead, but I think it was like it was like it was like Sam Cook, Muhammad Ali, Jim Brown, and Malcolm X.

SPEAKER_02

It wouldn't have been Sam Cook, he would have been dead after that point.

SPEAKER_01

Oh well. Anyways, um that was a great movie. Uh yeah, I like that. That sounds let's do it. Um Mark, you're up.

SPEAKER_00

No, I'm up. That was your movie. That's right. That was your movie. Yeah, that was your movie. Do you know anything about the plot? Hold on, let me see what I got here. Um, just reprising the films. Just just Brad Pitt and all the font reprising their respective roles as Cliff Booth and James Stacey.

SPEAKER_02

I wasn't crazy about that movie. I I I just thought it was over here. I think that movie's pretty damn good. It was fun. It was fun. It's a fun movie. Well, you know. I wasn't over the movie. Is that the show? Yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Okay. Uh I'm gonna go with November 6th. Uh uh director Martin McDonough's new movie Wild Wild Horse Nine. This is starring Sam Sam Rockwell, who I yeah, absolutely is one of my absolute favorites of all time.

SPEAKER_02

I couldn't find anything in that movie.

SPEAKER_00

I had John Malkovich, Parker Posey, Tom Waits, Steve Buscemi. Uh CIA agents on a trust testing mission in 1973, Chile, uh, said just before the Chilean coup, the agents travel from Santiago to Easter Island facing conspiracies in a volatile situation.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, actually anything he does.

SPEAKER_00

Dude, Sam Rockball just is a fucking genius, period.

SPEAKER_01

I think the chemistry, the chemistry, you know, could possibly carry a a subpar script, the chemistry between these two guys. But if it's a really good script, Martin McDonough. Yeah, a really good script, like this this has the potential. And let's face it, Martin McDonough, he he can do he can do uh windswept islands really, really well. He can do it.

SPEAKER_02

I saw I saw a phron on uh about this on Sunday morning, and they were all on Easter Island and said, Oh boy, Martin McDonough, Eastern Out, that's gonna be fun.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, this is gonna be cool. I'm I'm glad you uh I'm glad you you got that one in there because that that one's definitely gonna be cool. I couldn't find anything in there. Mark, you're up next.

SPEAKER_02

All right, here's the big one of the year Coyote versus Acme.

SPEAKER_00

A movie that's had a hard time coming out, right? Right? I I just I just saw something on this movie.

SPEAKER_02

This is gonna be huge. And um, you know what it's about. You know, it's based on the Ian Fraser's New Yorker short story from 1991 or something. And it's a brilliant idea. It's basically Coyote decides, because all of the products come from the Acme Company, and none of them work, whether it's the anvil, the dynamite gets, he decides he's gonna sue the Acme Company, and he gets a lawyer, and the story's hilarious, and they've been trying to make this thing for 30 years. You know, and you know the backstory, right?

SPEAKER_00

And it's it is it's a bit like am I am I correct in understanding that this movie is like in the can for a while and they've had a hard time thinking about the movie.

SPEAKER_02

The story is that they released the movie, and remember the Supergirl story where they shelved the movie for the tax break? They shelved this movie because they were in trouble, they shelved this movie for the tax write-off. Right. And everybody went crazy. And some company called Ketchup, I don't know the whole story, though. The story of how they made the actually the movie's about how Warner Brothers did this. It's kind of like an allegory of the experience. It's a meta movie. Yeah, because they made it look like this company was Warner. I can't wait to see this. Oh, this is gonna be. Yeah, that's a great poll, Mark. That is that is a great movie. This is gonna be enormous.

SPEAKER_01

That is gonna be super fun.

SPEAKER_02

The Looney Tunes, and there's gonna be all Looney Tunes cameos in it. It's gonna be insane.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, that's that's gonna be like live action superimposed, you know, it's Robert Roger Rabbit style space channel esque.

SPEAKER_02

I hope I hope it works.

SPEAKER_01

You know, you can yeah, well, I hope this wouldn't work. And and it's got Will Forte, quietly one of the funniest people to come out of Saturday Live in the last 30 years. Guys just staring.

SPEAKER_02

The guy who played Mark Twain on the Conan O'Brien Twain thing in the audience. That sounds right. I think it was Will Forte.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Um, all right, I'm up, and I am going to Alright, my next one. Uh I I guess I'll just always give this guy a pass based on the strength of one film. And that one film is the Ryan Gosling Vehicle Drive. Nicholas Wending Reffin has got a new movie coming out this year, is a remake of a 1968 film called Her Private Hell. And I was able to find out very little about this movie. Um, I just know that it's supposed to be very intense. Is Justin, is that on your list? Do you have a look like a bunch of? I do not have that one on my list. It's got the guy Charles Melton. He was in that um, he was in that uh Why don't you look at the original?

SPEAKER_02

You'll find more on it. You could probably pull it up on uh IMDB.

SPEAKER_01

IMDB listed as a hypnotic unhinged thriller with an original story promising plenty of glamour, sex, and violence. No surprise there. Um so I'm stoked. What's the rating of one? I'm stoked for that one. Uh great title. Let's uh let's take a quick break. Um, and when we come back, we'll keep running through some more titles, we'll do some honorable mentions, and we'll uh put a pin in this thing. Stay tuned. Please check out our other show, Beyond the Slipstream, a weekly podcast about pro cycling, pro cycling, and oh, did I mention pro cycling? We're kind of obsessed. Search and subscribe in Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube, or click the link in the show notes. Justin, you are up, sir.

SPEAKER_00

Um, so I'll just I'm gonna just bounce off of a conversation we were having during the break um and go with Over Your Dead Body. Uh this is a a comedy that is out now. It just came out like in the last week or so. Um, directed by Jorma Ticoney. I can't ever say his name correctly. He's one of the Lonely Island guys, right? Yes, he's one of the Lonely Island guys, yes. Um, starring Jason Jason Siegel and Samara Weaving. And the premise of this movie sounds hysterical, right? When miserable couple, Dan and Lisa, retreat to a remote cabin for a romantic reset, each arrives with a secret plan to kill the other. However, their carefully plotted traps and counterplots quickly unravel when strangers crash the weekend with plans of their own. As the toxic getaway spirals into chaotic carnage, Dan and Lisa must soon figure out if they want to save their marriage or survive it.

SPEAKER_02

You know what I love? To do a search on remote cabin. It's a kind of filmed database. Yeah. It's a perfect setup.

SPEAKER_00

It is. How many movies you'd get? A bunch of them. They just did the the one with the with the AI robot that was like a year or two ago.

SPEAKER_02

Remote cabin, man. Amazing. They just call it remote cabin.

SPEAKER_00

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I think he has one too. You're right. Um, I I'm just I I love Jason Siegel. Uh I pretty much watch anything that he's in. And Samara Weaving is also very, very good. And the premise of this movie just sounds very, very funny.

SPEAKER_02

But do you think it's a paycheck movie?

SPEAKER_00

I don't know. It's it's tough to say, it's tough to say. A lot of them are. I'm sure they're both getting paid quite a bit to be in it. So yeah, this looks good.

SPEAKER_02

You know what they do? After this they wrap the TV season, they'll go do a movie. Because they got nothing to do. So, yeah, I alright. I can get you the movie next week. It's it's it's not a bad life.

Oh, Norton. Oh, it's hilarious. I could just see Seth Rogan doing his befuddled thingy all over the place. Oh, the lines.

He's like, and me? I'm I'm also like, I'm is this really happening? I'm being included in Orgy? Like, because he's looking at he's looking at Penelope Cruz like, what?

SPEAKER_02

He's kind of like Albert Brooks in a lot of ways. He's picked up the Albert Brooks. You picked it up? Yeah, he's picked up that Albert Brooks thing, which you haven't even put your finger on. Oh, yeah, this would be an Albert Brooks kind of thing. But where's where's this movie? Where does it go? They can't show orgies.

SPEAKER_00

Well, yeah, who knows? I'm sure that it's gonna be a lot of a lot of uh coffee table, dinner table, you know. Yep.

SPEAKER_01

I mean, this is a play. You know what I'm saying? This is a play. Put this totally a play. Put put this movie on the stage. There's a couple of them that are coming out this year that are like that, where it's the literally the entire thing is playing out in three rooms. But the the last one, the other Jason Siegel one that you were just talking about, uh could probably be that as well, right?

SPEAKER_02

What do you think of Olivia Wilde though? She gets she got a lot of flack in that last film, Don't Worry Darling, which I like. I kind of liked it too. I liked it. And she I like it.

SPEAKER_00

I like Olivia Wilde, man. Um like I'm a fan. And she's and she's directing this movie.

SPEAKER_01

And she was great in the studio. Remember the studio? Yeah, in the studio. It's a great action Seth Rogan.

SPEAKER_02

SPEAKER_00

I have two. But let me here, let's do this. Let's let's do our last three outside of like the big ones, and then let's hit some of these big movies that are coming out. Let's just talk about them real quick. And I and I'll just introduce those, and you guys can give me your your reactions to them.

SPEAKER_02

Who's who's whose turn is it? All right, uh it's your turn, Mark. Okay, the uprising. I'm looking forward to this one. Uprising, action period drama film produced, directed by Paul Greenglass. Ah, he did like he did a born film, right? Yeah. Andrew Garfield, James, Jamie Bell, Stephen Delane, who I don't know why he's not a bigger name, Tom Hollander, uh, a lot of people remember Johnny Lee Miller of all people. And uh Catherine Ward, I don't know, people haven't heard. Okay. During the English peasant revolt in 1381. This is my kind of move. Yeah. A former a farmer becomes the leader of the rebellion against the crown forces of a then 14-year-old King Richard II. And it's not being done by the Brits, it's being done I Green Glass is he is he British? I'm not sure. The guy who did the uh the 9-11 film. Uh Flight 90s, whatever it's called. Flight 93. I don't know. But anyway, there's a book now. I read the review of of the Peasants Revolt, and this is really virgin territory for film. So if Grand Glass can pull this off, I mean, I know we're gonna we'll go to see it because my wife and I really love this early, early English stuff that's not about you know Shakespeare and stuff. So this one looks I don't have anything on this. Like I is there can you see if there's a trailer?

SPEAKER_01

No, there's no trailer.

SPEAKER_02

No, not even a trailer there. But this one looks like my kind of film.

SPEAKER_01

I mean, they're not they're they've there, I don't think they they're even it's post-production is expected in September.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, September. So there's nothing out there.

SPEAKER_01

Might not even come out this year.

SPEAKER_02

That's a big one uh that I'm looking forward to.

SPEAKER_01

All right, uh now then it goes to me. Um I'm going to Well, you pulled up, you pulled it all. That's right. I knew Danny Boyle. All right, I'll throw out the Danny Boyle one. I finally found it. Danny Boyle has got a movie coming out called Inc., and it is about Rupert Murdoch. Oh yeah. That's the play. And it's like, you know, Danny Boyle is one of those kind of shape-shifting directors that loves to just get out there and work in all kinds of different, um, all kinds of different genres and stuff. And you know what? Like a a biopic about a you know, arguably not good dude, um, real person with Danny Boyle at the helm.

SPEAKER_02

That might be based on a play, a British play. Oh, really? Yeah, you might want to look it up. I don't think that's a really green play. I think that was a British play. I think it played, I think. Some Indian playwright. I might be wrong. Is there anything there? Uh ink. I saw that and said, wait a minute. That's a play.

SPEAKER_01

I could be wrong. An explosive cinematic roller coaster about a group of misfits and visionaries who had an idea for a new kind of news, one that would give the people what they want and would change the face of the world we live in today.

SPEAKER_02

Who wrote it?

SPEAKER_01

Uh James Graham. Starting Jack O'Po Jack O'Connell, Guy Pearson, Claire Foy. Another guy, O'Connell. He's in everything.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

That looks good. Um, all right, so got that one. And then uh go ahead, Justin. That's a green.

SPEAKER_00

All right, before so uh I'm gonna go with one that's a little like a little different. And so this is October 16th, a movie called Whale Fall. Have you got that? Yes, yeah, I love that. Whale fall. So this thing sounds really interesting. So director is Brian Duffield. Uh it's starring Emily Rudd, Austin Abrams, Josh Brolin, Jane Levy, Elizabeth Shue, John Ortiz. The film follows a scuba diver who, while searching for the remains of his father, gets swallowed alive by a whale and attempts to escape. Amazing. Live action? Live animation? Concept. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's live action.

SPEAKER_02

Who's Emily Rudd, by the way?

SPEAKER_01

Josh Bolin. That man is in every freaking movie that comes out. That guy just works constantly.

SPEAKER_02

Emily Rudd, you want to check out Emily Rudd? You think there's a connection? How do you run? Let's find out. Emily Rudd. You can turn this into a game, you know.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, that's gonna be. Nepo baby. One degree of separation. All right, we're gonna do on the next show that you come on. We're gonna do we're gonna do a two-parter dark movies, and then we're gonna play the Nepo baby. I don't know, man.

SPEAKER_00

Uh, we can come up with a Nepo baby game.

SPEAKER_01

People can degree of separation. Her parents are Jeffrey Leonard Rudd and Michelle Elaine Keating, her relatives. Uh her sibling is Daniel Joseph Rudd. No relation to connection.

SPEAKER_00

No connection.

SPEAKER_01

What would you have guessed? Would you have guessed it was or not? I have no idea. No. We just invented a new game.

SPEAKER_02

I have no idea.

SPEAKER_01

Because I feel like there would be an endless supply of these. I have no idea. Endless supply. You can just go to any movie that comes out in 2026 on IMDB, click on the cast, and then just start clicking through and looking at the relatives and seeing what yes. Sharon hates when I do this.

SPEAKER_02

Is it you always think if it's the same name as it related? And I get I get them out right about 60. Sharon may hate it, but I love it. That's a good idea.

SPEAKER_00

All right. All right. So do we want to go through some of the last one?

SPEAKER_02

I have one more. Oh, he's got Mark's got one more. The Wait. The Wait, which uh premiated Sundance, I believe. Uh I do not have 2028, 2026 historical drama, Patrick McKinley, Ethan Hawke, back again. Julia Jones, Austin Amelie, and Russell Crowe. This is gonna be a goody. Film had a world premiere, but Samuel Murphy is a widower in 1930s Oregon who was taken from his daughter to serve a prison sentence. There you go.

SPEAKER_03

Yes.

SPEAKER_02

Prison warden Clancy offers Samuel and several other passengers the opportunity to earn their freedom in exchange for participating at a dangerous gold smuggling operation. So here you got a Western, a prison drama, with Russell Crowe as a warden. I mean, come on. I'm in. I'm in. And and wages of fear. So how do you lose? Right? And they they were raving about Hawke.

SPEAKER_01

You know, he said, look, we know you didn't get it, but maybe this time he's having a and Russell Hawk Ethan Hawke is a battle-scarred veteran hired to help smuggle a fortunate gold. Oh, you got it? A hundred miles of impenetrable wilderness.

SPEAKER_02

Directed by who's this guy? McKinley. Padrick, probably Scottish Irish. Pedrag McKinley. Yeah, that that one really uh I love it. Yeah, hold on. I picked that up quick. That was good. They love that one, man. And I am done.

SPEAKER_01

All right. Justin, run us through. Let's let's just let's just do quick hits on the biggies, and then I'm just gonna spool out the rest of my list just with okay.

SPEAKER_02

We'll just we'll just improvise.

SPEAKER_01

We'll go we'll go we'll go back and forth, Justin. You and I are on the on the on the last of it.

SPEAKER_00

Alright, so we have uh June 12th, Disclosure Day. This definitely looks like the the big blockbuster of the summer. Yeah, um Steven Spielberg directed, starring Emily Blunt, Colin Firth, Coleman Domingo, and Wyatt Russell. Sci-fi thriller centered on a whistleblower attempting to reveal alien existence to the world, countering a government corporate conspiracy to keep it hidden.

SPEAKER_01

Do you have anything?

SPEAKER_02

Do you have anything to add to the uh conversation on this movie? Yeah, why is Coleman Domingo in every movie now? Yeah, good lord. He really is.

SPEAKER_00

He plays Joe Jackson.

SPEAKER_01

These guys have great agents, though. Yeah, yeah. It's just they have great agents. That move that Michael movie is just a disaster. Um is he in that too? Yeah. Oh, he is? He plays the dad. He plays Joe Jackson. He he plays he plays the character upon which every fault and ill and wrong. Oh, you remember the movie?

SPEAKER_02

The Will Smith movie was great. Remember King Richard?

SPEAKER_01

No, I didn't see that one.

SPEAKER_02

Oh, that was great. King Richard is very good. Oh, he was amazing. He was up for Academy Awards with that. I gotta catch up with that. Down before the slap. It's good. Oh, that's a great book. What was what what role did he play? He played the dad. He's amazing. Will Smith played the dad. Yeah. Yes, that's what we were saying. We're talking about Will Smith. Coleman's Amiga wasn't even in the picture, right?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

Not then.

SPEAKER_00

All right.

SPEAKER_02

I don't think we're talking about the same thing. Wait, didn't we?

SPEAKER_00

July 17th, we have the much anticipated Christopher Nolan directed The Odyssey.

SPEAKER_01

Which which we in the with the last one you were like, this is the blockbuster of the summer. And I'm like, don't you mean the other, the other blockbuster of the summer?

SPEAKER_00

This is not a good thing. You put the trailer up. This is one of three in my count. There's one of three.

SPEAKER_02

Okay, there are three movies of the summer. What was the third one? I know there was a third one. All right, so the odyssey.

SPEAKER_01

Literally, every single person in Hollywood is in this movie.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, it's it's Matt Damon, Tom Hollins, and uh Zendea, uh Elliot Elliot Page, uh, Ann Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, John Burnthal, Mia Goth, Charlie Slarence, Travis Scott, Hemish Patel, Ryan Hurst, John Legbazmo, Lapita Nowongo, James Remar. I mean, this cast is stupid. It's so good.

SPEAKER_02

Lapita Noango is Helen. That was interesting. That was an interesting story.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02

I looked at this I looked at the trailer. You're telling me Helen of Troy wasn't a blonde-haired white lady? Alright, now I look at I'm looking at this trailer and I'm thinking to myself, okay, if this movie was made in 1941. 60 60. It wouldn't look anything like this. This movie has the same look as a lot of movies. And they don't even look like Christopher Nolan movies.

SPEAKER_01

And I'm wondering. Oh, you're saying you're saying he's lost his step. He's his he's lost a million miles per hour off his face.

SPEAKER_02

That's looking pretty cool, man. That's good.

SPEAKER_00

I don't know, man. If I think this movie looks very, very good.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, yeah, well, yeah, but but like like this is a movie where I'm like, I will 100% I will 100% be watching this in the theater. There's no no question that's a standard theater.

SPEAKER_02

What I'm saying is I'm looking at the trailer. Probably this one 110% definitely. I'm looking at this trailer though, and I'm saying, okay, why does this look like a lot of other trailers? And because of the the color composition and the version on the feet screen. Is it too dark?

SPEAKER_00

Well, I also I also think that it it has that um it it it just has that feel of um of Troy of um what's some of the other ones that were like you know that kind of came when there was there was Troy and another one that came out like right around this the same time as as Troy, but you know, uh a lot of those like ancient Greek movies they have a very similar look, but I I don't think that's this from being bad.

SPEAKER_01

If you if you look at the Troy trailer, it won't look like that. Troy did something different. Troy did some some crazy stuff with like the fighting and stuff like that. If you look at Troy, it doesn't look like that.

SPEAKER_02

Um I'm just looking at him going, okay, this looks like it was a very Troy was a very bright, bright film. Right, right.

SPEAKER_00

Very bright.

SPEAKER_02

And if you go back to like when they used to pick stories like that, historical stories, you go back to something like the Vikings from the 50s, Jack Carter, oh my god.

SPEAKER_01

I mean, that thing just popped off the screen. I tell you what, when it comes to when it comes to the Odyssey, Christopher Nolan's the Odyssey, this movie can't be long enough, in my in my opinion. Oh, yeah, it's gonna be Odyssey. Every bit of that book, you know what I mean? I want all of the mythic confrontations. This is Troy, right? Yeah, yeah, like just with like rendered by Christopher Nolan. Look at look at the definition. Every time they dribble out like another one of the characters in this movie, I'm just gonna be completely stoked. I want to look at this.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I'm I'm I'm in all all day long on that movie. All right, next one. Uh we have the other the other big blockbuster of the summer, Dune Part Three. Uh Dennis Vilnews. Denny Denny. Denny Denny Vilnews.

SPEAKER_02

Denny can do no wrong. He'll make another billion dollars to the right.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I'm sure it's gonna make a ton of money. And they've already through the first two movies, they've already scooped up eight Oscars, um, six for part one. So they did have they had cinematography, film editing, score, production design, sound and visual effects for part one, and then sound and visual effects for part two. So this is the third part of the adaptation of Frank Herbert's sci-fi masterpiece. I don't really care for this in the movies. Not gonna lie. If I don't if I don't see it in the theater, I'll be perfectly fine.

SPEAKER_01

I don't know that I need to see it in the theater either, but um I I will say this about Dune. This movie is a small miracle this series is a small miracle in one very particular way to my life. This movie has cracked its way in to my wife Mandy's bedtime viewing, which is that this is hallowed ground. There are only certain things that Mandy will deign to fall asleep to, a handful of precious objects. Dune is one of them, and Dune just cracked the cookie. Dune just got in there. No, no, no, because like no, they're all like they're all like her sort of quasi like fantasy slash five sci-fi uh comfort food. And it's it's it's things such as The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Harry Potter, like all that stuff can just be mindlessly running in the background. And somehow, someway, Dune got in there, and now when I sneak in and I'm awake enough to want to watch something, I'll just be like, Dune? And the answer is always yes. And I love it. I just I love drinking it in as comfort food because it's it's weird, it's set like 10,000 years in the future from us, which I can't even imagine human beings will be around in 10,000 years. But if they are like I I just love imagining I find the world fascinating, it's just fascinating. Like this, the stuff that they have going on. And Villeneuve is such an auteur, he's such a stylist.

SPEAKER_00

Um, they're visually stunning. I just it's I don't know, man. I just can't get into it.

SPEAKER_01

I can't get it. I mean, some of the I don't know. I I really, really I'm super stoked to watch the third part. You read the book? I never read the book. Never read the book. No, it's not a quiet reading in like the 60s, man. You know, it's funny to hear you say that too, Justin, because of like how deep your knowledge of Lord of the Rings stuff runs. Yeah. Um just not.

SPEAKER_00

I don't know, man. It's just not my my cup of tea. I I think maybe I'll go back. Now that you've given it a little bit more of an endorsement, maybe I'll go back and try to try to digest it all.

SPEAKER_02

I like the David Lynch one.

SPEAKER_00

I like the David Lynch one.

SPEAKER_01

Sting and a diaper. I liked it, man. Great cowboard lock. What are the other what are the any other biggies coming out this year? Any other big anything else you got?

SPEAKER_00

He soon gets a chance at salvation when he meets a mysterious woman and a young girl. I have one.

SPEAKER_02

SPEAKER_00

A successful black businessman haunted by his crumbling marriage and identity crisis is drawn into a sexualized game of cat and mouse with a mysterious white woman on a subway that leads to a violent conclusion. That's a trailer? Yeah. That's what they did to the movies?

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, this looks wild.

SPEAKER_02

The one that takes place in the subway. What the hell did they do? They opened it up. They made it into the movies. They made it into a real movie.

SPEAKER_00

Wow. Okay. I didn't realize that. Do you want to you want to go back and forth on a couple of of upcoming films that yeah, yeah, quick quick hits.

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_00

All right. So the end of Oak Street, August 14th.

SPEAKER_02

This is another Hathaway film.

SPEAKER_00

Yes. David Robert Mitchell directed, starring May Stella, Ewan McGregor, and Anne Hathaway. Um, a mysterious cos cosmic event rips Oak Street from suburban transports a neighborhood to someplace unknown. What a premise. Here we are. Another premise.

SPEAKER_01

There's a Twilight Zone for everything. So if JJ Abrams is producing this thing, did you watch the trailer? I have watched the trailer. JJ JJ Abrams. Oh yeah, they're they're saying it's a tempting back. You get you get one little glimpse of something at the end of that trailer. I won't say it out loud, but but if uh if that image paired with JJ Abrams makes me say, okay, they they might pull this off. This thing could be completely ridiculous. But uh He's rolling the dice on this one. The guy who directed it is David Robert Mitchell. He directed It Follows, the horror movie It Follows. It's this kind of this thing kind of reads horror movie, but yeah, I'm I'm stoked for this one. Uh all right. She's a fine movie. Did either of you catch did either of you catch the movie I Saw the TV Glow?

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Did you saw it? Yeah, yeah, that was an interesting film. It's directed by this woman, Jane Schoenbrun. Yeah, I saw that. Um and that was like kind of uh I don't I don't know how you would describe that movie, what genre you would place that in. It's like fan fantasy science fiction. Fantasy sci-fi, yeah. But it's even different more than that. But but it was it was like very gentle, you know. It was it was it was comfy for sci-fi. It's Asian. Wasn't it an Asian film? No, it was it was set in America. It was um it was set in. But it was about like it was like about alien nation and and and and yeah, it did really well in the festival. Well, she is now doing this movie, is a she's doing a horror movie that has Gillian Anderson in it, who I think I am really I am in the tank for Gillian Anderson. That woman can do no wrong. I mean, you know, the X-the X-Files was just like incredible. Like actually, the X-Files is one of my wife's comfort food shows. That is that's one of the things that that that will be on in the uh it's coming back in the sacristy. And then she did um Gillian Anderson did a uh a British TV show with Jamie Dornan uh that was incredible. She was like this badass detective. She was unbelievable.

SPEAKER_02

She moved to England and got into stage work, and she got she did better than the covenant.

SPEAKER_01

Um yeah. And uh so, anyways, she's in the the movie. This movie is called Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma. Oh, yeah. I'm so in. So in.

SPEAKER_02

You know what they're doing now? I've noticed they're explaining more of the movie in the title. Like there's more movies that tell you like what's going on. How so? Take your case, sir. I I I I'm looking at somebody's title. How I blah blah blah blah. What? You're telling me the whole damn movie in the title? All right. It'd be better if you give us a I'll give you some examples. I'll get back to you when I look at how dark that. If I if I had legs, I'd kick you.

SPEAKER_01

Would that be one? That's a that's a good title. Would that be an example?

SPEAKER_00

No. All right, you ready for another one? No, we're looking at the trailer here. Yeah, go ahead. All right. Um this one actually it came out a couple days ago, and and I'm very interested to see a Hokum with Adam Scott. Yeah, Damon McCarthy directed Adam Scott and a few others. Novelist Ohm Bauman retreats to a remote inn to scatter his parents' ashes. He's consumed by tales of a witch that haunts the honeymoon suite. Soon disturbing visions and a shocking disappearance force him to confront dark corners of his past. Why do people do this? What's it called?

SPEAKER_02

What's it called? Hokum? Hokum. Yeah, it didn't do well at all. It made like a million dollars this week. Why do people do it? Just it just came out? Why do people do this in movies? Why do people go to remote locations to do scary things? We were just talking about it.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, we just we're gonna be.

SPEAKER_02

Why do people go to remote cabins?

SPEAKER_01

He's like, why don't why don't teenage girls go into the bank? It's like it's like the old Eddie Murphy, it's like the old Eddie Murphy, uh, the Eddie Murphy bit. White people always stay in the house. But he's like, black people would be like, black people were like, they'd they'd move it. He's talking about poltergeist. He's like, they'd move into the house, they'd be like, damn, baby, this is lovely. I love this. Look at this new house, man. This is this is nice. We got a nice chandelier up there and everything, a bunch of windows, and uh get out. Too bad we can't stay, baby. We gotta go.

SPEAKER_02

We're getting out of here now. This man is such a frustrated entertainer. It's scary, man. That was good.

SPEAKER_01

All right what's your next one? Um up next for me. God, there's so many I want to shoe her in. All right. I wonder I heard an interview with uh a director named Chandler Lavac. Um, she just dropped a movie, I think, on Netflix. It stars Adam Sandler's daughter. Um, I can't remember her name, but it's called it's called Remates. It's like a teen comedy or something like that. She's also got another um uh one coming out that's called Mile End Kicks, which is just the weird thing.

SPEAKER_02

That's really funny.

SPEAKER_01

Mile End Kicks. She's Canadian. Um, she said I'd like this one. The almost famous vibes in this are so deep for me. It's ridiculous if you watch this trailer. I want to watch this one with my kids. I'm glad you found that one, Mile and Kick. It's like a it's like a young girl who's trying to become a journalist, you know, and she like meets up with rock stars, and yeah, it's like I'm all about this. You know, I can't wait till that one comes out.

SPEAKER_00

It's called Mile and Kick. Yeah, it's Canadian.

unknown

All right.

SPEAKER_00

What do you got? This one, I think, I think this just has this is gonna come out May 29th. I think this just has potential Oscars all over it. Pressure. This I didn't even see anything on that. This kind of cracks me up the premise. That's gonna be what do you think? Director Anthony Morris, all right, starring Brandon Frasian, Brandon Fraser. Right. Uh Andrew Scott as church as Churchill, right? No, he's playing white the eyes and playing on the Valdita. All right. This also has uh Andrew Andrew Scott, Kerry Condon, Damian Lewis again, uh making a second appearance on the pod. Henry Ashton and Chris Bessina, the fate of the free world hangs in the balance as Damian Lewis is going back to Omaha Beach?

SPEAKER_01

It's a true story. Is this really happening? It's a true story.

SPEAKER_00

All right. And so as Dwight D. Eisenhower and Captain James. Stag face the impossible choice, launch the D-Day invasion or risk losing World War II altogether. It all comes down to barometric pressure, baby.

SPEAKER_02

And wait a minute. Oh man, it's a meteorologist. You know, you know that the unknown story there is the woman who was assigned to monitor the weather. It was a woman, and she was trying to explain to these people, and the guys would not believe her. She's saying, No. Exactly. And that story they're not telling. They're talking about stag, right? So they didn't know that other story when they made this movie. But that's a good idea for a movie. All right, you ready to go?

SPEAKER_01

We're running out of time. Let me throw out, let me throw out a couple that will go right off of that one. You ready? All right, good. Uh The Brink of War. Brink of War. This is Jeff Daniels as Ronald Reagan, Jared Harris as Mikhail Gorbachev, and J.K. Simmons is George Schultz. Another one where we're on the brink of of uh of uh you know like Armageddon. And then you've also got The Wizard of the Kremlin, directed by Asegas, Jude Law as Vladimir Putin, and Paul Dano as the Deem Baronsky.

SPEAKER_00

Yes or no on these. Are they yeses or no's? What do you got next? We're running out of time. This one I'm I'm very interested in. September 4th, May Day. Director, John Francis Daly, who I absolutely love. So this is Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Brana, okay, uh, with David Morse and Clark Johnston, U.S. Navy pilot on a top secret mission during the Cold War, gets trapped behind enemy lines. His only chance at survival is to form an alliance with an eccentric ex-KGB agent. So I'm assuming Ryan Reynolds is the American, Brana is the is the Russian, and I bet this movie is gonna be really so many World War II movies coming out. This is gonna be awesome. I think this is the first one. All right, let me.

SPEAKER_02

Wait, isn't that the one isn't that a remake of like the one with the uh uh the space movie with uh who is remember the one about the guy who befriends the alien on uh on a planet? Oh god.

One of my comfort food movies, my personal comfort, not my wife's my personal comfort food movies is Wet Hot American Summer. I love that movie. It's hilarious. It's just funny, you know what I mean? Um the director of Wet Hot American Summer, David Wayne, is coming out with a movie this year. It's called Gail Daughtery and the Celebrity Sex Pass. It's something about like about your hall pass, you know, like like that that whole thing. Is that a great film title? Yeah, fantastic. It's yeah, that's that's one. You're right. That is one of them. You know what I mean? Yes. Hit me with another one.

SPEAKER_01

September 4th, How to Rob a Bank, directed directed by David Leitch, uh starring Zoe Kravitz, Nick Holt, uh, Pete Davidson, Anna Saiwai, uh Sawai, Christian Slater, Michael Gandalf, and John C.

They aim to become their own version of Robin Hood's. I am redesigned by a computer. It does. It sounds like such a weird concept, but I'm in for it, dude. Like that sounds very interesting for a heist movie. And then become folk heroes, then become viral, they become big, big internets, and well, and and part of it is that they that they are giving their stolen gains forward to charitable causes. Of course. Of course. Yeah, I can see that.
