Topics include the Cowboy Bebop Live Action Remake, Netflix and American Anime Live Action Adaptations; Frank Miller’s The Spirit; Gabe’s epic struggle with and Matthew’s horrible plot synopsis of The Eternals; the peculiarities of Wes Anderson’s idiosyncratic style; The French Dispatch in greater detail; the strange discourse around Wes Anderson; Matthew’s critique about people who are “die hard” Ghostbusters fans based off reaction to Ghostbusters Afterlife; the strange experience of Titane; movies where our expectations were dashed for the worst; talk about what kind of future episodes we might do; and some thoughts on The Wind Rises.

Matt works with Gabe to see if Dune is just fine or if it’s
a Shiny and Chrome. Topics include adaptations of novels in novel forms; the
history and failings of Dune adaptations; relating Kojima to Dune; a case for
Dave Bautista as the best wrestler-turned-actor; how Dune takes science fiction
and evolves it to Fantasy; why book-to-movie adaptations are not a binary good
or bad thing but more of a non-lateral scale; the problem with four-hour
movies, strange “director’s cut” and “extended cut” profit releases, and part
one-part two pacing issues; the surprising box-office history of Blade Runner
and The Thing; some good John Carpenter talk; how actors who ask for certain
regards or are critical of work they are in are seen as difficult by Hollywood
(and Matt’s) standards somewhat without merit or bad marketing; if Gabe and
Matt made Dune; the return of good diffused fog effects; and Martin Scorsese’s
take on how to make a proper superhero in New York.

Gabe and Matt talk about The Last Duel. Topics include The
Limey; Hard Eight; the difficulty of rating The Last Duel; comparisons to
Rashomon and why Rashomon is not one of Gabe and Matt’s favorites; how the
Criterion Collection knows how to market to their targeted demographic really
well (and has some of the best cover art); some divergence to Branded to Kill; the
difficulty of talking about truth in film; if The Last Duel is just a movie of
the moment or if it can be timeless; the odd conflict between Ridley Scott as a
director and as a producer on the same movie; how the movie criticizes common
notions of medieval life; Charles VI’s portrayals in movies; how the movie
balances its messaging; and the expert filmmaking of Ridley Scott.

Matt and Gabe discuss the new David Lowery epic The Green Knight. Topics include The Piano and Holly Hunter; Sam Neill in the 90's; a few odd comparisons between The Green Knight and Promising Young Woman; how episodic storytelling should not be considered negative criticism; deconstruction of the chivalrous knight; respect for Sean Harris and how he tends to work in roles that he really shouldn't work in; The Green Knight's ties to other classic and not so classic medieval films; strange narrative choices and faltering endings in otherwise great movies; the delicate relationship between what a movie asks of the audience and what the audience will accept; how it is a movie about living life; A24 as a brand; debating whether everything SHOULD be like A24; a brief review of Shang Chi; Matt confuses two fantastic Hong Kong actors; finding the key to open the door to styles not normally traversed; a brief review of Reminiscence; defining "Asian American Representation"; and a small shout-out to Simu Liu and Kumail Nanjiani.
