#197 Civil War, River, The Guest We begin this week by reviewing a film that is set on an American civil war with no context and focusing instead on the value of journalism and the nature of history and POV. We then arrive to a secluded town in Japan where the people are suffering from an endless time loop of the same 2-minutes with laughter and humility. Finally, we allow a guest into our home, who says his name is David but is hella menacing as he smiles and proceeds to kill your boss for that promotion you so richly deserve.   Next Time: Challengers, Sasquatch Sunset, Boyhood   Recent Discoveries Luke: Metallica: Some Kind of Monster Ralf: The Casagrandes Movie Oscar: Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, Riders of Justice, Monkey Man   Otherpodcast.com   Show Notes 00:00:00 INTRO 00:07:32 Recent Discoveries 00:28:17 Civil War 00:50:46 spoilers 01:30:09 River 01:49:38 spoilers 02:03:58 The Guest 02:39:44 EXIT

#196 Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, The Promised Land, Past Lives We may say goodbye to winter but Frozen Empire says otherwise. Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire brings back the fun and funny from the original films but still falters from modern plot contrivances and boring villains. The Promised Land brings genuine intrigue into a man as he struggles to what he believes a man is supposed to be. This intimate story has heartache, suspense and stellar performances. Past Lives proves that love recognizes bounds and what those bounds are and how intricate they are is something that manifests amazingly in the protagonist and with the tragedy we call time.   Next Time: Civil War, River, The Guest   Recent Discoveries Luke: The Greatest Night In Pop, Bitconned, Love Lies Bleeding Ralf: The Greatest Night In Pop, Dune Part 2, Argylle, Migration Oscar: Road House, Late Night with the Devil, Love Lies Bleeding   Otherpodcast.com   Show Notes 00:00:00 INTRO 00:09:43 Recent Discoveries 00:51:41 Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire 01:12:21 spoilers 01:24:17 The Promised Land 01:43:32 spoilers 01:56:23 Past Lives 02:24:51 spoilers 02:45:04 EXIT

#193 The Best TV Shows of 2023 Welcome to the second top ten show of the year. Japanese animation does make our lists a few times as well as risky adaptations that ended up doing well. Expect some surprise late-season work and a few freshman efforts. Many shows have ended and many more have begun. This is the one time of the year we get to talk about TV shows so expect a hefty amount of mini reviews in positive and negative waves.     Next Time: The Best Discoveries In 2023   Otherpodcast.com   Show Notes 00:00:00 INTRO 00:05:06 2023 in TV 00:16:22 #10 00:28:41 #09 00:43:54 #08 00:57:52 #07 01:13:24 #06 01:30:00 #05 01:43:13 #04 01:55:58 #03 02:08:54 #02 02:26:02 #01 02:49:02 Honorable Mentions 02:55:30 Disappointments 03:05:53 The Mids 03:10:31 Missed Opportunities 03:14:50 Extras + EXIT   Matt -Zom 100 -Invincible -Jujutsu Kaisen -Attack On Titan -The Mandalorian -My Hero Academia -Twisted Metal -Loki -Gen V -The Last of Us   Ralf -Kaleidoscope -Blue Eye Samurai -Scavengers Reign -Jujutsu Kaisen -The Last of Us -See You In My 19th Life -Loki -The Bear -Frieren -Ted Lasso   Oscar -The Diplomat -A Murder at the End of the World -Swarm -Foundation -Telemarketers -Fargo -The Last of Us -The Bear -Reservation Dogs -Scavengers Reign

#192 The Best Films of 2023 It's that wonderful time of the year where we arbitrarily rank the very best films 2023 has to offer. You may or not be surprised by the number of films that show up multiple times, including one that shows up on all three lists. It's been a great year in films, despite the strikes, for international stories, high-concept and homely comedies and animation. We were shown that you don't need hundreds of millions of dollars to create an awesome action scene or a memorable adventure.     Next Time: The Best TV Shows of 2023   Otherpodcast.com   Show Notes 00:00:00 INTRO 00:02:15 2023 In Films 00:24:03 #10 00:35:39 #09 00:48:39 #08 01:04:32 #07 01:20:47 #06 01:33:50 #05 01:51:26 #04 02:06:34 #03 02:22:28 #02 02:36:24 #01 02:55:04 Honorable Mentions 03:01:26 Disappointments 03:06:05 The Mids 03:10:43 Missed Opportunities 03:19:01 Final Thoughts   Oscar -How To Blow Up A Pipeline -When Evil Lurks -Bottoms -Talk To Me -American Fiction -Killers of the Flower Moon -Spider-Man: Across the Spider-verse -Poor Things -Anatomy of a Fall -May December   Luke -Shortcomings -Asteroid City -The Iron Claw -Brokers -American Fiction -Past Lives -Oppenheimer -Godzilla Minus One -Blackberry -Suzume   Ralf -They Cloned Tyrone -American Fiction -Ferrari -Killers of the Flower Moon -The Iron Claw -Godzilla Minus One -Oppenheimer -Spider-Man: Across the Spider-verse -Poor Things -Anatomy of a Fall

#191 The Boy and the Heron, Godzilla Minus One, May December Welcome to the final show of the calendar year! This time, each of the three co-host chose one of the three films up for review. We begin with animation master Hayao Miyazaki's latest film, The Boy and the Heron. This film may be hard to navigate to explain why it's great but the feeling and understanding of its greatness is well known. Godzilla Minus One brings on a tale of universal guilt and possible redemption by using the epic monster Godzilla as an metaphor for all-too-real human conflict. Lastly, May December is a lightly-based on a true account of a twisted family, rooted in scandal, that becomes emotional and upheaved by an actress studying the mother figure for a role. The predatory nature of the leads allows for a fascinating journey of human understanding.   Next Time: The Best Films of 2023   Recent Discoveries Luke: Wonka, The Dark Sad Life of Boggie2988, Wes Anderson Shorts Ralf: Bye Bye Barry, Wes Anderson Shorts Oscar: Silent Night, Leave the World Behind, Shin Godzilla, Dream Scenario, Eileen, Wonka, Fair Play   Otherpodcast.com   Show Notes 00:00:00 INTRO 00:17:48 Recent Discoveries 01:13:47 The Boy and the Heron 01:45:42 spoilers 02:01:33 Godzilla Minus One 02:21:19 spoilers 02:39:19 May December 03:03:55 spoilers 03:35:56 EXIT

#190 Napoleon, Next Goal Wins, Leo Normally, tis the season for holiday or Christmas-filled plot contrivances but instead we make do with feel-good movies currently in theaters and streaming. On Netflix, we have Leo, the latest project by Adam Sandler about curmudgeon school pets breaking their cardinal rule of speaking to humans is semi-musical, semi-sweet and overall a fun time. Next Goal Wins takes place in Samoa and highlights the true-enough story of a failed soccer team meeting a curmudgeon coach trying to ruin everyone else's good time. Lastly, the only super serious film and review is Napoleon; a weirdly comical and yet spectacle-chasing but inaccurate portrayal of the historical figure leads to an interesting review of an ok movie.   Next Time: The Boy and the Heron, Godzilla Minus One, May December   Recent Discoveries Luke: The Holdovers, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes Ralf: Thanksgiving, Trolls Band Together Oscar: Thanksgiving, Saltburn, Coffee and Cigarettes, My Dinner with Andre, Rififi   Otherpodcast.com   Show Notes 00:00:00 INTRO 00:10:13 Recent Discoveries 00:46:19 Napoleon 01:07:21 spoilers 01:36:11 Next Goal Wins 01:55:36 spoilers 02:15:18 Leo 02:38:53 spoilers 02:55:51 EXIT

#189 The Marvels, The Killer, When Evil Lurks What would happen to society if the very essence of Evil became contagious? When Evil Lurks hunts down this notion in small but important areas of the Argentinian landscape, where no one is safe. Especially children and animals. What happens when an assassin botches a hit? The Killer explores this question as a retaliation from this near-miss jumpstarts another series of retaliatory strikes. How can you bring power down an immortal hero?

#188 Killers of the Flower Moon, Five Nights At Freddy's, Night of the Hunted It takes a while to get passed the horrific vibes of Halloween. Which brings us to Night of the Hunted; a sniping horror indie film that unfortunately doesn't get passed its concept of a one-location thriller. Five Nights At Freddy's is one of several new horror films geared for the youth and their low-key love of the game franchise and its lore, though it rarely meets high levels. Finally, Killers of the Flower Moon further cements Scorsese's ability as an auteur of truly heinous chapters of American history.

#187 Totally Killer, Cassandro, Spaceballs Tonally-speaking, we are all over the map this week. There's a killer on the loose and only an 80's-style time machine can help solve this whodunit by going back to the source in Totally Killer. Mexican wrestling has many heroes but none so glamorous as the biopic into the boundary-pushing Cassandro, an exotic wrestler that never lost hope. Finally, we conclude the Parodies marathon with the Gen X classic, Spaceballs. This film needs no introduction and produces its own fanfare.   Next Time: Totally Killer, Cassandro, Spaceballs   Recent Discoveries Luke: Blade Runner: 2049, The Strange Thing About the Johnsons, Red Dawn, The Exorcist, Never Surrender Ralf: The Final Girls Oscar: Elevator Game, The Exorcist: Believer, Reptile, The Strange Thing About the Johnsons   Otherpodcast.com   Show Notes 00:00:00 INTRO 00:09:17 Recent Discoveries 00:38:53 Totally Killer 00:58:47 spoilers 01:09:44 Cassandro 01:27:39 spoilers 01:35:22 Spaceballs 02:11:10 EXIT

#186 The Creator, It Lives Inside, They Came Together Welcome to spooky season! While the films reviewed this week only have one horror flick, they all have something horrifying to demonstrate. It Lives Inside is a horror film that reckons with a different culture and demons in America. They Came Together displays and spoofs on the horrors on trope romantic comedies with a tool that's simultaneous blunt and sharp. The Creator is a world set on fire with an AI war as the great American military might tries to stomp out the hordes of a new race.   Next Time: Totally Killer, Cassandro, Spaceballs   Recent Discoveries Luke: Apollo 11, Dumb Money Ralf: TMNT 1 & 2 Oscar: Saw X, Dumb Money, Are You There God?

#185 El Conde, Huesera, This Is Spinal Tap This week, we go full Latino. We travel to Chile in a blend of fantasy horror, Machiavellian family plotting and historical figures to tell the story of an undead dictator coming to terms with finally dying, maybe? Heading up to Mexico, Huesera is a modern tale of the same old panics and horrors a mother-to-be can experience.

#184 Gran Turismo, Extraction 2, Galaxy Quest Welcome to the week of high high speed. While the three films share no genres or plot points, they all have some desire for high velocity. We start with Gran Turismo; a true-ish story of a gamer-turned-real-racer, complete with training and traveling the world with rocket-like vehicles. Extraction 2 contains high-octane action. A throwback to 80's and 90's adult action films, this one presents some crazy scenarios, particularly with cars, trains and helicopters. Galaxy Quest travels at light speed across the universe with a clever story to shoulder what is a Star Trek parody but way more meta.   Next Time: Gran Turismo, Extraction 2, Galaxy Quest   Recent Discoveries Luke: Blue Beetle, Get Smart with Money Ralf: Blue Beetle, Heart of Stone, Extraction Oscar: Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum, Beast, Enemy at the Gates, To Catch a Killer   Otherpodcast.com   Show Notes 00:00:00 INTRO 00:19:40 Recent Discoveries 00:46:54 Gran Turismo 01:11:32 spoilers 01:30:18 Extraction 2 01:43:47 spoilers 01:54:31 Galaxy Quest 02:22:08 EXIT

#183 Talk To Me, Barbie, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls There are world beyond the one we know and this slate of three reviews show us different worlds. Beyond the Valley of the Dolls is a pseudo(?) parody that flaunts its style for sexual awakening and harsh comedowns. Barbie shows us a land of the enigmatic toy that has grander and shadier significance. Talk To Me takes us beyond the realm of the dead within the guise of teenagers mainlining spirits through them like a drug.   Next Time: Gran Turismo, Extraction 2, Galaxy Quest   Recent Discoveries Luke: Dio: Dreamers Never Die, Murder in the Front Row: The San Francisco Bay Area Thrash Metal Story Ralf: Vengeance Oscar: The Last Voyage of the Demeter, Heart of Stone, Valley of the Dolls, The Covenant, Blue Beetle   Otherpodcast.com   Show Notes 00:00:00 INTRO 00:13:26 Recent Discoveries 00:44:43 Talk To Me 01:04:14 spoilers 01:37:57 Barbie 01:57:42 spoilers 02:30:43 Beyond the Valley of the Dolls 02:57:01 EXIT

Game, Don't Be A Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice In the Hood Welcome to the longest titled episode of all time. We kick off our latest marathon with a series of parodies; beginning with the Wayans' humorous take on such 90's films like Boyz N the Hood and Menace II Society. If you've ever wondered if the classic game pinball ever had a checkered past, then Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game is for you.

#181 Oppenheimer, They Cloned Tyrone, Falling Down This week, we offer a trio of existential crises. Oppenheimer is humankind making it possible to destroy itself with a central public figure coming to terms with everything. They Cloned Tyrone isn't exactly killing the lesser cloned version of yourself and the institution that made them, but it's almost that. Falling Down is the 90's manifestation of “I'm as mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore!”   Next Time: TMNT: Mutant Mayhem, Pinball: The Man Who Saved the Game, Don't Be a Menace   Recent Discoveries Luke: Ralf: Barbie Oscar: Barbie, Vesper, Hotel Artemis, The Jewel Thief   Otherpodcast.com   Show Notes 00:00:00 INTRO 00:02:04 The state of Hollywood 00:17:16 Recent Discoveries 00:31:57 Oppenheimer 01:04:43 spoilers 01:34:57 They Cloned Tyrone 01:51:46 spoilers 02:15:15 Falling Down 02:51:52 EXIT

#180 Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One, Joy Ride, Tombstone This week, we travel all across the world; from tired Rome, to China, and to the old American West. Despite the rocky production, the new Mission Impossible is chock full of action spectacle. Joy Ride is the raunch comedy of the season, working well within the formula and over-the-top scenarios. Tombstone celebrates its 30th anniversary this year and with it some great dialogue, an entertaining POV of hostly and a great bromance.   Next Time: Oppenheimer, They Cloned Tyrone, Falling Down   Recent Discoveries Luke: No Hard Feelings, Past Lives, Empire of Light Ralf: Oscar: No Hard Feelings, The Outfit, Insidious: The Red Door, Nimona   Otherpodcast.com   Show Notes 00:00:00 INTRO 00:06:56 Recent Discoveries 00:31:38 Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One 00:59:06 spoilers 01:27:20 Joy Ride 01:42:00 spoilers 01:56:29 Tombstone 02:36:07 EXIT

#179 Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Asteroid City, A Bronx Tale We go from traveling the world, to a small town in the desert, to ending up in a city neighborhood.Despite the harsh reviews and low bock office numbers, we feel that the fifth Indiana Jones installment was a hit. A stirring adventure with some heart. Asteroid City is probably Wes Anderson's most confounding film; layered in story mechanics, plots and comedy setups. We celebrate the 30th anniversary of A Bronx Tale; a tale that feels as long as time, told with respect and empathy.   Next Time: Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One, Joy Ride, Tombstone   Recent Discoveries Luke: The Machine, Big George Foreman, Randy Rhoads: Reflections of a Guitar Icon Ralf: Flamin' Hot, The Blackening, Elemental Oscar: Chopping Mall, Hypnotic, The Pope's Exorcist, The Blackening, Elemental   Otherpodcast.com   Show Notes 00:00:00 INTRO 00:09:51 Recent Discoveries 00:32:54 Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny 01:01:23 spoilers 01:28:57 Asteroid City 01:44:41 spoilers 02:07:30 A Bronx Tale 02:29:10 EXIT

#178 The Flash, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-verse, Oldboy We go superhero nuts this week. Nuts enough for Michael Keaton who co-stars as Batman once more in The Flash for a fun action romp involving the multiverse and time traveling. Speaking of multiverses, the new Spider-Man animated wonder returns with Across the Spider-verse. A film that gracefully and majestically captures lighting in a bottle with a great sequel. Lastly, Oldboy has turned 20 years old. This South Korean revenge tale is as epic as its reputation for the depths of human misery. It imprisons your soul like a single mistake can cost you your life.   Next Time: Indiana Jones & the Dial of Destiny, A Bronx Tale, Asteroid City   Recent Discoveries Luke: Rocky III & IV Ralf: White Men Can't Jump (2023) Oscar: Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, Malum, The Boogeyman, You Hurt My Feelings, Blackberry       Show Notes 00:00:00 INTRO 00:07:54 Recent Discoveries 00:30:42 The Flash 00:46:58 spoilers 01:15:20 Spider-Man: Across the Spider-verse 01:31:27 spoilers 02:01:29 Oldboy 02:42:54 EXIT

#177 Still, Fast X, Better Luck Tomorrow This week, we are fortunate to have another crop of good films. Beginning with a documentary called Still; about famed 80's and 90's actor Michael J. Fox's struggle with Parkinson's and his life overall. A surprisingly tender documentary with seamless editing and match cuts. Fast X, everybody's fave soap opera action series, returns with a part one within its part ten. Nothing in caliber was raised but extremely fun nonetheless, not to mention a solid villain. Lastly, we take a look into Justin Lin's first indie film with Better Luck Tomorrow; a story inspired by other great indie and fresh filmmakers like Kevin Smith and Tarantino. A fun, high school Goodfellas.   Next Time: The Flash, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-verse, Oldboy(2003)   Recent Discoveries Luke: Blackberry, F9 Ralf: Air, Meet Me In the Bathroom Oscar: Jurassic World: Dominion, They, Cursed, Missing, Suspiria       Show Notes 00:00:00 INTRO 00:09:00 Recent Discoveries 00:42:27 Still 00:49:02 spoilers 01:05:32 Fast X 01:24:51 spoilers 01:41:21 Better Luck Tomorrow 02:02:54 EXIT

#176 Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, How To Blow Up A Pipeline, The Good Thief Welcome to the week of entirely fun movies. James Gunn's final Marvel film also marks as the finale of a fun-filled and exciting trilogy of misfits in space. A wholly unique in visuals-and-style movie, Volume 3 provides a hardcore PG-13 rating and emotional payload. How does blowing up a pipeline work for our current political state? That and the procedural and motivational elements of people willing to commit such destruction is what drives How To Blow Up A Pipeline. Lastly, this year is the 20th anniversary of Neil Jordan's The Good Thief; a savvy and gritty but good0natured heist film.

#175 Beau Is Afraid, Judy Blume Forever, Her This week, we go on three wildly different journeys. We start with Beau Is Afraid, a film that we felt lacked direction and heft to an uncompromising and well-visioned tale of anxiety and terror. Judy Blume Forever is a documentary that marks the several ways Judy Blume's literary works has inspired a generation, especially in the face of political upheaval. 2023 marks the 10th anniversary of Her; a prescient sci-fi story of love and not the apocalypse. Tenderness and an open mind are required for the viewer and the protagonist.   Next Time: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3, How To Blow Up A Pipeline, The Good Thief   Recent Discoveries: Luke: Sisu, The Covenant Ralf: Suzume Oscar: The Conspiracy, Ghosted, The Janes, Evil Dead Rise       Show Notes 00:00:00 INTRO 00:09:57 Recent Discoveries 00:34:57 Beau Is Afraid 00:50:08 spoilers 01:05:12 Judy Blume Forever 01:25:42 Her 02:00:41 EXIT

#174 The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Renfield, Upstream Color This week, we dip into two theatrical releases. The first is The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which proves to be a vanilla-safe children's movie with little interests to adults. On quite the opposite spectrum, Renfield's splatter gore-fest is geared solely for adults.
