1:03:25 - YES DAY, Dir. Miguel Arteta

The Courier

Benedict Cumberbatch is a spy film should be all you need to get you into a seat in a theater. In case you need more coaxing though- The Courier focuses on Grville Wynne, a British businessman recruited by MI6 to transport information back to London, using his cover of constant travel to Eastern Europe on business. Espionage and information is how battles are fought in the 1960's in the Cold War. The Courier is a well written, very competent spy film with a memorable score and edited actin sequences. It's not for everyone but rewards you attention and devotion for the run time. (7/10)

Yes Day (Netflix)

Parents of the world! Would you ever give your kids a Yes Day? I should hope not. Unbelievable, script guided chaos follows. Let's start with the best part of this film- Jennifer Garner- Her devotion to her family and her children, though she says no a lot. Now, let's talk about the bad- the last 80 minutes of the 86 minutes run time. This is a movie about a Yes Day- A day during which parents can not say no to any reasonable request from their children though obvious restrictions do apply- couldn't have been written by anyone with kids. Nothing after this day starts is real or makes real sense, or would be real requests. The absolute oaf of a Sheriff deputy simply doesn't exist- he's too dumb and unaware of real rules, among a dozen other red flags. The reply, "It's a kids movie" simply isn't a good enough argument. This movie only exists as a Netflix Original. (2.5/10)

0:21:45 - Trailers - THE UNHOLY and CONCRETE COWBOY

0:31:30 - CHAOS WALKING, Dir. Doug Liman

0:55:15 - CHERRY, Dir. Anthony Russo, Joe Russo (Marvel)

Chaos Walking

Doug Liman, we expect better from you. We aren't mad, just disappointed.

Chaos Walking is adapted from a novel by author Patrick Ness and has all the ingredients for a real gem- great, young cast, solid director well versed in action and narrative line, and bigger budget. Still, a subpar film with promise early on and undelivered fulfillment on those promises. Though- one thing does have to be said for Chaos Walking- It's releases in theaters when few others are, a fact that is very relevant in the middle of a pandemic. Megastar Tom Holland and should be megastar but isn't Daisey Ridley take the leads in the dystopian Sci-Fi adventure where people can hear each other's thoughts in different forms of sound called "Noise" and there are no women. Should be interesting, but it isn't. (3/10)

Cherry (Apple)

The latest Apple Original film is Cherry- A film about the journey of a young man from early adulthood (college) to the Army as a medic post 9/11, to back home where he has a wife and house waiting for him, to the pits of his own despair in the form of drug addiction ruining the life of those around him to robbing banks and then to an eventual incarceration and a pretty great mustache in the last few moments of the story. It's a ride for sure. Hopefully, you took it. It's worth it.

Tom Holland is Cherry- a young man who goes through the above journey. It's broken out into several different parts and an epilogue that is very pleasing to watch and an impressive montage to boot. It's not an easy watch not is it fun, but very satisfying. (6/10)

217 - Raya and the Last Dragon and Coming 2 America

Tuesday Mar 16, 2021

Intro, Grayson and Roger took weekend trips. Dave and Busters is fun, video game bars, Mint Museum in Charlotte, NC is kind of cool,

0:27:30 - COMING 2 AMERICA, Dir Craig Brewer (AMAZON)

0:50:40 - RAYA AND THE LAST DRAGON, Dir. Don Hall, Paul Briggs, Carlos Lopez Estrada, John Ripa (DISNEY+)

Coming 2 America (Amazon)

Eddie Murphy is a weird conversation these days when he used to be the MAIN conversation in Hollywood, or one of them at least. In the same tradition as other recent decade(s) later sequels, Coming 2 America does some things right and many things wrong. But, the spirit of the original is kept in tact...without any of the thoughtful and cleverness that made the original so wonderful and well received. Akeem is great, as always though! Roger (2/10) - Grayson (5/10)

Raya and the Last Dragon (Disney+)

The latest Disney flick is here and her name is Raya and the Last Dragon. As 96% of the time, Disney does not disappoint. A new princess and a new region represented now also in the Disney family. It's an emotional ride, pleasantly well paced with a fun and engaging story. Though, sorry to say it doesn't master any of those, but does them well. Tiny humans and big humans alike will enjoy this even for repeated viewings. (7/10)

216 - Tom and Jerry (HBOMax) and Sound of Metal (Amazon)

Riz Ahmed- You are AMAZING.

0:12:55 - Golden Globe 2021 Winners

0:16:35 - TOM AND JERRY, Dir. Tim Story

0:31:35 - SOUND OF METAL, Dir. Darius Marder

Tom and Jerry

Tom and Jerry- An iconic cartoon duo for decades. They are NOT the main focus in a movie named Tom and Jerry. Confused? You should be. This movie really is terrible. Lucky, it will find an audience with kids as it's colorful and full of silly comedy harkening back to old Tom and Jerry comedy slapstick everyone knows and can certainly identify. There's not much in the way of content for adults, which is disappointing as a certain age group would have grown up with Tom and Jerry. (1.5/10)

Sound of Metal

This is a Hidden gem you should watch, and watch immediately. Riz Ahmed is off the charts with his performance more about body language and nuance rather than speaking and delivery. Ruben (Ahmed) is a heavy metal drummer who starts to lose his hearing and must learn to adapt to a life lived as a deaf person. BUT It's more than that- in fact, at it's emotional core, it's about a restless soul forced to slow down almost to a halt and live his life in a completely different lane. But therein lies the beauty- the simplicity of the story- one without gun fight, car chases, or digital effects. The sound design is also a character. The brilliant sound demands you watch this in an environment you can control the volume in relevance to TV. Hearing how the sound bounces back and forth and changes on the drop of a dime is really an enhancement of the already stellar film. Don't miss this one. (9.5/10)

215 - I Care a Lot (Netflix) and Land

Tuesday Mar 02, 2021

Cersie Lannister has met her match is a woman that shares a name with a host of this Podcast...and Robin Wright's Land. With some Wandavision sprinkled in

Intro, 215 2.0, Roger's track lost from last night's recording. Chris doing Marvel Marathon is...chronological order? Chris- say it isn't so. Chris DID NOT drink at his 3 yr old's party. Shame.

0:17:55 - WANDAVISION

0:25:30 - LAND, Dir. Robin Wright (Only Grayson)

0:32:00 - I CARE A LOT, Dir. J Blakeson

Land

Robin Wright tries her hand at a story with a woman who's lost everything and seeks a new life away from all that is society. The cinematography is quite good, given the subject matter of a picturesque mountain region and blue skies offset by the harsh cold of what white snow. The score is slightly memorable at the best of times with a script that needed another draft or two. If you enjoy this kind of movie- "Artsy" then you will really have a good experience with Land. (5.5/10)

I Care a Lot

Marla Grayson is a bitc.....

Rosamund Pike is extraordinary as the wonderfully corrupt and swindling almost con artist lead. Can stealing an elderly person's life and valuables really this easy? I Care a Lot would have you believe it is- as long as you have a few doctors and care facility directors on your payroll.

I Care a Lot is pretty rare and unique in the fact that it offers no real great candidate to root for and get behind. This is one of those rare instances when you WANT the Russian drug dealer to kill the woman on the poster. With Wonderful and powerful performances across the board and a creepy yet purposeful score- you don't want to miss this Netflix Exclusive. Peter Dinklage has a powerful beard. So, there's that. (6.5/10)

214 - Judas and the Black Messiah (HBOMax) and Nomadland (Hulu)

Tuesday Feb 23, 2021

Heavy, heavy HEAVY this week but with exceptional performances. Excited? You should be.

Intro, ice has fallen in the east and is now melting. The Tooth Fairy stories. Grayson's death will be lackluster. Thanks, Chris. Grayson cried during a scene in Kodachrome- Ed Harris is great.

1:11:30 - JUDAS AND THE BLACK MESSIAH, Dir, Shaka King

Nomadland (Hulu)

Frances McDormand! You are AMAZING!

Nomadland is a wonderfully crafted poem of modern day nomads and how they live their lives- usually by way of what they've lost. When Empire, Nevada loses it's industry the town shuts down 6 months later- losing 75% of it's residents. Fern lost her job, husband, and her known way of life- making the decision to become a modern day nomad, giving us real accounts of others who live a similar lifestyle across the American landscape.

Wonderful cinematography, camera work and extremely powerful score behind this one making it a great movie- and free to watch on Hulu. Frances McDormand gives what may be the best performance of her already amazing career.

Grayson (9/10), Roger (5/10) and Chris (3/10)

Judas and the Black Messiah (HBOMax)

Daniel Kaluuya and LaKeith Stanfield are simply on a different level. They're on the level of Frances McDormand- This is a good week.

Late 1960's. Northern Illinois. Political turmoil is a powder keg primed for an explosion. Black Panthers and the Police force on opposing sides with Bill O'Neal stuck in the middle, his own views blurring.

When Chairman Fred Hampton talks- you listen entranced.

This is a retelling of the story with incredible violence and morality lines very blurred. And Martin Sheen as J. Edgar Hoover. (7.5/10)

213 - Mank (Netflix) and Locked Down (HBOMax)

Tuesday Feb 16, 2021

Covid era relationship turned diamond heist (what the heck?), and how the most famous film ever, Citizen Kane, came to be through the eyes of the screenwriter Herman Mankiewicz...and David Fincher.

Intro, the Snowpocalypse is in the east! Fun. "The yellow snow is full of extra nutrients" - Roger. Audio books vs listening to movies at work.

REGARDING HENRY, Dir. Mike Nichols - Harrison Ford, Annette Bening. 1991

0:29:45 - Trailers - YES DAY and HAPPILY

0:36:00 - WANDAVISION EPS 4-5

0:47:35 - LOCKED DOWN, Dir. Doug Liman

1:06:20 - MANK, Dir. David Fincher

Locked Down (HBOMax)

We have what should have been story of a marriage falling during the Covid lock down forcing two people who now hate each other to deal with one another- even the casting supports this theory. How wrong we all were!

Chiwetel Ejiofor and Anne Hathaway are good. Doug Liman's most recent relies HEVILY on these two, which is okay half the time. When the narrative turns into a buddy comedy diamond heist- that is when the real questions begin to pile up. Look for Ben Kingsley and Ben Stiller and some Vermont hate. (2.5/10)

Mank (Netflix)

Gary Oldman is in his 60's playing a guy in his 30's. But THAT is Hollywood for you. Mank is a look into 1930's Hollywood as Herman Mankiewicz very famously writes and gets inspiration for Citizen Kane, the very well known film born of controversy. The supporting cast is excellent- Amanda Seyfried, Lily Collins, Arliss Howard, Charles Dance and Tom Burke. Written and directed by Jack Fincher and David Fincher respectively, Mank certainly has the Fincher Spin. Those who really have a passion for early days in cinema history and Citizen Kane will love this. Those who are indifferent- probably not as much. (7.5/10)

212 - The LittleThings (HBOMax) and Palmer (AppleTV+)

Tuesday Feb 09, 2021

Denzel Washington, Justin Timberlake and the creepiest dude in Los Angeles.

Intro, Chris is back! Cold in the Pittsburgh area. That's cold. Grayson is still in Wilmington, NC, not New York, Chris. Ted Lasso is AMAZING. Why is Roger always right? It's been a year since Tiger King.

0:22:00 - WANDAVISION EPS 1-5

0:43:05 - PALMER, Dir. Fisher Stevens

1:14:25 - THE LITTLE THINGS, Dir John Lee Hancock.

Palmer (Apple TV+)

Apple TV has really been steeping up it's game lately. Palmer is absolutely a credit to that service. Palmer (Timberlake) is just recently released from prison of 12 years and returns to his Grandmother's house to try and live a normal life. His Neighbor Sam (Ryder Allen) is a gender confused boy from a broken home with a junkie for a mom (Juno Tempe). Palmer differs from the normal "pull at your heart strings" story of this nature. It's incredibly real and v very emotional. Not a family film by any means BUT will absolutely leave you smiling in the end. (8/10)

The Little Things (HBOMax)

Denzel Washington is Joe "Deke" Deacon- A man troubled by secrets from his past. Rami Malek is Jim Baxter, a Young and hungry detective. Both men are pulled into a hunt for a serial killer terrorizing an entire city. Akin to "Seven," "Kiss the Girls" and "Zodiak" The Little Things pairs the older, wiser cop with the younger, more eager cop, each with a very different approach. Deacon's constant focus on the little things of a case before extremely important, as the title would suggest. If you aren't wrestling with your own morality by the end, somehting is wrong.

Tuesday Feb 02, 2021

Bill Murray and Malcolm X. It's a good week!

Intro. From Wilmington, NC to Shadyside, OH- the weather is terrible. Wilmington has several movies coming in. A little boy called Grayson old AF. What is that? Roger talks about his rough and tumble days- He's a legit badass.

0:21:25 - ON THE ROCKS, Dir. Sophia Coppola

0:44:50 - ONE NIGHT IN MIAMI, Dir Regina King

On the Rocks (Apple TV+)

From director Sophia Coppola we get a comedy, drama, romance- With Bill Murray and Rashida Jones. Laura is a young mother (Jones) who has a suspicion that her husband is having an affair and, with the help of her old world playboy father Murray), is able to spy on him and find out what the real story is. Bill Murray is is wonderful as a larger than life playboy who hits on absolutely any woman he comes across. His one liners and gravitas help to carry this other very mediocre movie with not much else to contribute other than Bill Murray. Jones and Wayans (Nearly 50!) are good, don't get us wrong- they just aren't Bill Murray when this movie needed another person to help carry it. (5.5/10)

One Night in Miami (Amazon)

Regina King! Our hats go off to you. Your praise you will undoubtedly receive is much deserved for this damn near masterpiece. in this fictional story- young Malcolm X, Cassius Clay, Jim Brown and Same Cooke all gather after a decisive victory for Clay (Net yet Ali) and talk about the Civil Rights Movement in 1967. What follows is a bit of a stage play adapted- Much like the recent Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (Netflix) and The Boys in the Band (also Netflix). The dialogue and story beats move seamlessly and are paced extremely well with little to no waste and not a moment lost. This is a MUST WATCH. (9/10)

Tuesday Jan 26, 2021

January is not off to a bang of a start unfortunately- though it never really is. Kick up those feet and have a listen as we get into the latest from Liam Neeson and Netflix.

Intro. It's cold! Roger's beat saber skills are not to be trifled with. Roger heckled a 14 year old kid online. Awesome.

0:22:05 - OUTSIDE THE WIRE, Dir. Michael Hafstrom

0:45:50 - THE MARKSMAN Dir, Robert Lorenz

THE MARKSMAN

Liam Neeson is back! By now we all know what to expect from these annual and very formulaic action movies all very reminiscent of Taken from 2008. Jim (Neeson) is a retired military vet and now works with border patrol along the southern border of the US. When he meets a mother and child running away from their pursuers, Jim is morally entangled and agrees to take the child to Chicago with the rest of his family.

What happened to these movies? They've been in steady decline for years with this one being the worst. (3/10)

Outside the Wire (Netflix)

Netflix really has a thing for the futuristic soldier of fortune model lately. And Anthony Mackie headlines their newest attempt at the genre. Damson Idris and Emily Beecham join Mackie in this very mediocre and disappointing action Sci-Fi. Leo (Mackie) and Harp (Idris) are on a top secret mission to stop a nuclear attack that will embroil the world in war and death if allowed to commence. It borrows elements from a dozen other movies, paying none of them the respect and homage that they deserve. Netflix- You can do and have done better. (4/10)
