Movie Go Round

It's our last entry for this year's Movie-Ghoul-Round, and this time when You Did This to Us, you had us watch the serial killer thriller, The Snowman. It's pretty! It's frustrating! It's pretty frustrating! Which is not surprising, considering that they didn't film the entire script. Hear David, Brett, and Nicole splutter in dismay and try to figure out how to fix this mess when you tune in to this week's episode. Email the show at hi@mgrpodcast.com.

For our Movie-Ghoul-Round Around the World pick, Brett chose the eloquent true-to-life political horror film, La Llorona (no, not that terrible one with Velma and the bad haunted house prop, the good one from Guatemala). What did David and Nicole think of this tale of the consequences of denial -- denial of a family member's wrongdoing, denial of responsibility for genocidal acts, denial of the personhood of indigenous peoples?

When it came time for Nicole to pick this Movie-Ghoul-Round's Future Classic, there was one candidate that was the most obvious: Hereditary. Ari Aster's slow-burning horrific tale of familial inevitabilities and selfish secrets had powerful performances and masterful moviecraft. It was David's first time (sorry not sorry!) and a second viewing for Brett. What was the verdict? Classic cinema, sporadically scary, or overhyped snoozefest? Listen in and find out!

In our Movie-Ghoul-Round Can We Just Talk About..." slot, one of Brett's choices came up on our spinner, so we talked about Doctor Sleep. Inevitably, Brett, David, and Nicole spent some time on The Shining and how this film is handled as a sequel (including the recasting), how the movie stands in its own right with the new antagonists of the True Knot, and how it handles the new shining child, Abra Stone. And how well could screenwriter/director Mike Flanagan possibly pull off this juggling act? Email the show at hi@mgrpodcast.com. Find us online by heading over to mgrpodcast.com.

IT BEGINS. Movie-Ghoul-Round 2022 is here! For our creepy New to Two, David eased us in with the family friendly Goosebumps movie. What did Brett and Nicole think? Did they find it surprisingly entertaining? (Hint: Yes.) What did we all think about the devious Slappy, the slavering werewolf, the giant praying mantis, and the diatribe about Stephen King? Is Champ the champ of this movie, or does the title go to Aunt Lorraine? Listen in and find out! Email the show at hi@mgrpodcast.com. Find us online by heading over to mgrpodcast.com.

It's time to turn off your brain and turn up the surround sound, because for this Movie-Go-Round, You Did This to Us with the latest Emmerich sledgehammer, Moonfall. Nicole, David, and Brett discuss the science(?), the dialogue, the key elements of disaster movies, and the Conjuring universe, among other topics. Tune in and enjoy our pain.

On this encore New to Two, Nicole introduced Brett and David to Quentin Tarantino's third feature film, "Jackie Brown." Featuring some of Tarantino's signature elements (clever dialogue, loving shots of a woman's feet, killer music choices) and deviating in equally significant ways (much less blood, a mature romantic element), "Jackie Brown" was only a modest success and one that a lot of fans have missed seeing. We asked questions like: Is this a modern blaxploitation movie? How are so many people getting shot in public with no one noticing? And WHAT is the deal with Samuel L. Jackson's hair?

For this Movie-Go-Round Around the World, David selected Park Chan-Wook's The Handmaiden. This beautiful and twisty (and occasionally twisted) long-con tale wasn't an unqualified hit with all of us. Come listen to hear about where we think this movie may have gone wrong, how steamy things actually get, the trials of colonization, the wild world of commercial infant sales, and more!

In this week's Movie-Go-Round, we revisit vignettes from the life of aging raconteur and journalist Jep, a sharp observer of life but participant only in his limited sphere of friends. Jep, at 65, is only now coming to grips with his age and mortality, as he contemplates his quest for life's great beauty. Join Nicole, Brett, and David as we tackle some really big questions like, What is the difference between a “movie” and a “film”? What is the great beauty of life?

For this Movie-Go-Round Future Classic, Brett wanted us to evaluate Everything Everywhere All at Once. Possibly the most recent film named in this category, did Nicole and David have the stones to declare it a classic already? We dug into mother-daughter relationships, multiverse maneuvers, desk awards, sign and dog twirling, and of course, Raccacoonie. Come listen to us get to the heart of it all.

It was Disaster Week for one of our hosts, so sadly, we had to postpone our new Future Classic episode. To fill your ear holes, we brought back this disaster of a movie that we just can't let go. Brett, Nicole, David, and guest Bandrew Scott of the Podcastage YouTube channel and Bandrew Says podcast (among other projects) bat around the confusing, frustrating, maddening, senseless mess that is The Emoji Movie.

This Movie-Go-Round week's theme is Can We Just Talk About...? We spun the wheel and The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring popped up, and boy, did we go to town. With two fans of the book and a critical eye, we asked the hard questions, like why does no one tell Pippin anything? Why CAN'T the eagles fly the ring to Mordor? Why didn't Elrond "accidentally" knock Isildur into the volcano and save everyone the trouble? And which Balrog is better? Email the show at hi@mgrpodcast.com.

We kick off a new go-round with a New to Two from Nicole, the 2016 film Midnight Special. This under-the-radar science fiction road movie is an unfolding mystery involving a cult, secret government transmissions, a child with inexplicable powers, and quietly powerful acting performances all the way around.

It was Nicole's pick for this Movie-Go-Round cycle's Around the World, and she brought her newest obsession, RRR. She, Brett, and David discuss if it's TOO over the top, the dance scene, the illegality of Ram's level of handsomeness, how everyone wants to hug Bheem, the power of the bromance, and much more.

The panel discusses 2019's Knives Out. From the director of the best Star Wars film of the last decade, (fight us) comes a who-dun-it of epic proportions. Does Daniel Craig's Kentucky Fried accent and Ana De Armas' excessive vomit add up to a Future Classic? How did everyone enjoy this unbelievably stacked cast?

Shakespeare rides again for this Movie-Go-Round New to Two, with Brett's pick, The Tragedy of Macbeth (2021). Director and screenwriter Joel Coen went brotherless for this film adaptation of the Scottish play that is nearly as bare-bones as one can get. We talk about the strong performances, the stark black-and-white cinematography, the sometimes surprising casting, David says "yeet" in a surprising context, and Nicole says some variation of "pared down" a lot (do not use it as a drinking game; you will die).

You Did This to Us again here at Movie-Go-Round, so we had to watch the Sandra Bullock-Ryan Reynolds rom-com The Proposal. Neither Nicole, David, nor guest Phil Rood had seen this film in its entirety before, which was not a lack that any of us had perceived as a problem previously. Among other topics, we discuss the dearth of character development, the whitest town in Alaska, the use of puppies as currency with the local raptor population, and why you never start the shower without a towel in your hand.

For Movie-Go-Round's latest Around the World pick, David chose the acclaimed Korean movie Parasite. Part con-artist tale, part parable about class warfare under capitalism, this Best Picture winner inspired deep discussion topics such as how wealth insulates and isolates people, how poverty can make moral purity arduous, what happens when the classes cross the lines of what's expected of them, and the heartache of life in a semi-basement.

Symbolism! Microaggressions! The Sunken Place! The T-S-mothatruckin'-A! And of course the old chestnut of "Is it a thriller or a horror movie?" Come listen and find out!

In this Can We Just Talk About? David brings the 1998 film 'Pleasantville.' Brett, David, and Nicole discuss why this film is a perennial classroom favorite, whether or not Brett understands the plot of 'Click', and, of course, Don Knotts' voice.

The cycle begins again with Brett's New to Two pick, a time-hoppy microbudget movie from Japan called Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes. It plays with time, staircases, expectations, and monitor cables. We discussed its single-take conceit, the inherent paradoxes, peer pressure, K-dramas, and how smart people with glasses are (pushes frames up nose), among other things.

For this Movie-Go-Round You Did This to Us pick, you all chose The Beastmaster. I hope you're happy. We discussed the tale of Dar and his animal friends Todo, Kodo, Podo, Shouty Bird, and Tigger. Also Dar's skeevy tendencies, his quest for revenge, glowy Nyquil magic, Rip Torn making a house payment, and the unnerving bat-winged people who just want a hug. A melty, melty hug.

For this week's Around the World, we talked about Momoru Hosoda's 2009 animated film, Summer Wars (Soma Wozu). David brought it to the panel -- what's so special about it...and familiar? Is it possible for a director to plagiarize his own work? Is it possible for a massively popular novel and very expensive movie version to also rip off that same work? Did Brett and Nicole like it anyway? We discuss our real opinions of this virtual world on this episode.

For this Movie-Go-Round Future Classic, Brett nominated 2021's The Suicide Squad. We had a lot to say about the acting, the gleeful gore, the early exits of some of the characters, and the anthropomorphic shark.

Brett, David, and Nicole each came up with 10 movies that they were desperate to talk about but that didn't fit the other categories, and we used a random draw tool to choose a movie from that pool.

This head-scratcher seems to be about identity, interconnectedness, addiction, memory, trauma bonding, and...pigs? What did Brett and David think? Could any of us make sense of it?

For this Around the World Movie-Go-Round episode, Nicole brought Dario Argento's murder mystery Deep Red (Profondo Rosso). We gabbed about the over-the-top weirdness, marveled at the visuals, Brett argued about the music, and David wondered if everyone in this movie were clairvoyant except for the folks trying to solve the crime.

David nominated this Movie-Go-Round Future Classic, Kubo and the Two Strings. This 2016 stop-motion animation film is inarguably gorgeous, and beautifully made, but it is not without its controversy. We talk about the low Asian representation in casting, touch on parental mental illness, and debate how astute a 10-year old should be expected to be when confronted with a magic monkey.

This round's Primeflix Roulette was an animated film from China that comes in two versions: the original, available on YouTube, and the culturally neutered Weinstein Company cut, available on Netflix. Two minor gods, thinking they're no longer needed by the human world, are asked for a little divine aid when a mother and daughter have to keep the family restaurant going. A brother god comes to help while the other takes more large-scale measures to feel needed, ones that could end in disaster. Will the restaurant stay afloat? Will the world end? Will someone please wake up Nicole Kidman? It's time for her lines. Next week will be David's pick for a Future Classic, Kubo and the Two Strings. Email the show at hi@mgrpodcast.com.

Brett's pick for New to Two this round is right up his alley -- Chicago blues, August Wilson, and philosophical monologues, creating the stew that is Ma Rainey's Black Bottom. Brett, David, and Nicole discuss this fictional day in the life of the real blues legend Ma Rainey, and get into the powerhouse performances, the hazards of predatory music contracts, and the problem of evil.

Welcome to the 150th episode of Movie-Go-Round! Normally any multiple of five would be a "You Did This to Us" episode, but since you voted for Twilight for our 100th, we figured we'd just carry the spirit of that forward.

It was Brett's turn to choose our "Around the World" Movie-Go-Round film, and he chose 2016's Shin Godzilla (a.k.a. Godzilla Resurgence). For a movie with a strong comedic bent in the first act, we dig surprisingly deep into cultural fears, Japanese-U.S. relations, and origin conspiracy theories. Come listen as David dotes on Kamata-kun, Nicole tries to describe Godzilla's roar using her junior-high-level music vocabulary, and we all give respect to the Nerd Task Force. Next up will be our 150th regular episode, a "You Did This to Us" entry, and we will be watching the second movie in the Twilight series, New Moon. Woof. Email the show at hi@mgrpodcast.com.

Enter another Geek Cinema Society rewind episode as we catch ourselves up here for 2022! In this episode, we watched Howl's Moving Castle, a film that if we did it on Movie-Go-Round, would surely be classified as a Future Classic.

In this Netflix Roulette episode of Movie-Go-Round, we were going to discuss Llamageddon. Yes, that's exactly how it sounds. Go watch it if you dare. But life got in the way - see the first minute of the show. So, we're taking a wonderful trip down memory lane to watch something that's far worse with 100x the budget: 1995's Mortal Kombat. This travesty of a film was originally viewed for our last film podcast, Geek Cinema Society. This week, we're dropping two flashbacks into your feed. For the next episode, and what would have been a Nicole Future Classics pick, you'll hear our 2017 discussion of Howl's Moving Castle. We appreciate your understanding and hope you had a spectacular and safe holiday and New Years. After Howl's, we'll be back to our regularly scheduled programming!

Happy holidays, Movie-Go-Round followers! For our first holiday episode, this movie seemed like the only possible choice. Listen as Nicole, Brett, and special guest Phil Rood of The Picture Show with Austin and Phil Rood deconstruct this holiday staple. Is this an accurate portrayal of small-town life? Can one man make such a big difference in so many people's lives? Is this a "Christian movie"? Why do we have all these kids? Email the show at hi@mgrpodcast.com.

For this week's Movie-Go-Round New to Two, David introduced Brett and Nicole to Repo! The Genetic Opera. “Bizarre” is a term that came up often in the discussion, as well as “gusto,” “heightened,” “rubbery organs,” and the phrase “This broke me” (primarily from Brett).

In this round's You Did This to Us, we had to endure 2020's Dolittle. This movie seemed to value effects above story, famous names above voiceover talent, and didn't seem to value direction much at all. David, Brett, and Nicole were treated to a disheveled RDJ, a generic British teenager, a polar bear with a goofy hat, and a constipated dragon. Did we find anything to love?

In this Around the World pick, David introduces Brett and Nicole to a German film from 2003, Good Bye Lenin! Directed by Wolfgang Becker, this comedic drama follows a son's efforts to keep his mother from learning about the fall of East Germany and the Berlin Wall after waking from a coma, missing the revolution. A film steeped in one, giant lie: does the team think Becker pulls it off? Is it endearing or irresponsible? Next episode is You Did This to Us: We're watching Doolittle!

For this Movie-Go-Round Future Classic, we welcomed guest Justin Robert Young of Politics Politics Politics and Night Attack to pick apart Quentin Tarantino's latest opus and love letter to L.A., Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Come listen to Justin, Brett, Nicole, and David pick apart this fable of an actor who's washing up in the face of hippie culture, and his loyal stunt double whose career is likely to tank in tandem if they don't catch a break -- or find a new direction.

It's PrimeFlix Roulette week, and the Movie-Go-Round wheel gods bestowed upon Brett, David, and Nicole the much-delayed sequel, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. What better day than Black Friday could there be to release our frustrated discussion of this gripping drama about how terrible it is for rich people to lose so much money that they become...somewhat less rich?

It's Nicole's Movie-Go-Round New to Two pick, and she's chosen the Richard E. Grant showcase (and English comedic cult classic) Withnail and I. This tale of two starving actors who have made a grievous error by going on vacation has something for everyone to appreciate. Did David and Brett appreciate it? We discuss the comedic bits, dramatic bits, possibly homophobic bits (welcome to a movie made in the '80s about the end of the '60s) in this tale of melancholy Brits.

You Did This to Us again, and boy was this a big bucket of yiiiiikes. Your intrepid Movie-Go-Round crew of Brett, David, and Nicole had to watch Fifty Shades of Grey, and while the movie is better than the book, that is a low, low bar. We discuss how this film does kink a disservice while romanticizing a toxic relationship and skimming over real trauma instead of addressing it head-on. Also how there is non-sexy sex in it. And distracting music. And... well, listen for yourself. Email the show at hi@mgrpodcast.com. Find us online by heading over to mgrpodcast.com.

What happens when a disco-pop master producer is in charge of the restoration of an all-time classic of science fiction films? You get a hybrid that is a cultural artifact of the 1920s and the 1980s simultaneously. Nicole's to blame for bringing this Movie-Go-Round Around the World pick, so insistent that she even bought it for Brett for Christmas. Making David watch was just a bonus.

It was David's turn to choose our Movie-Go-Round Future Classic, and he brought the gorgeous anime Your Name (Kimi No Na Wa). This film adds extra dimensions beyond the body swap concept, reaching into areas that are truly profound. Nicole, Brett, and David talk about liminal spaces, gender roles, the bonds between us, and the ephemeral nature of dreams, among many other things. Join us on our journey!

In this Movie-Go-Round Primeflix Roulette episode, we watched a Michael J. Fox romantic comedy, so you know this movie is wall-to-wall wit and charm, right?... Right?... uh oh... Unfortunately, David, Brett, and Nicole discovered that even the immense charisma of young Mr. Fox is not enough to carry this dead weight of a film, For Love or Money. We got to see a tiny bit of the secret world of a concierge and a lot of a bad "love" story and scheming for one's capitalist dreams. But we had a fun (if briefer than usual) discussion about it.

You know what's better than a million podcasts? A billion podcasts. For our Movie-Go-Round podcast's New to Two, Brett brought the David Fincher critical smash The Social Network. Somehow David and Nicole were late adopters on this film, but once we got into this tech pool, we dove deep, touching on the topics of exclusivity, entitlement, and rampant insecurity. We discussed the script, the acting, the shots, the iconic score, the iconic trailer, and more. Come listen! You can just lurk if you want to. Email the show at hi@mgrpodcast.com.
