Click here to send us a message!This week we're taking a look at two very different queer icons. Musical geniuses Freddie Mercury and Liberace each got the biopic treatment in the 2010's, and each got very different treatment. Behind the Candelabra starred Oscar winners Michael Douglas and Matt Damon and was directed by Oscar winner Steven Soderbergh. Despite the pedigree, only HBO would release it. Bohemian Rhapsody, by contrast, despite a troubled production and a problematic filmmaker, somehow won four Academy Awards in 2019.

Get ready, mutants and movie nerds! In this Insert Tape 2 episode, Danielle and Jackie welcome back fan-favorite (and cousin!) Patrice to break down 2000's X-Men with zero chill and maximum slander. From Wolverine's tall-tale casting to Storm's tragic line delivery (“Do you know what happens to a toad…” yeah, we're still mad), the trio takes a flamethrower to the film's baffling choices. Expect passionate rants, deep dives into comic book canon, and justice demands for Storm, Rogue, Jubilee, and every mutant the movie disrespected. Spoiler: Rogue is not a shy baby deer, and Jean Grey should not be fainting over a flying pencil.But it's not just about the mutants we loved and lost (to bad writing). The crew also unpacks the shady legacy of director Bryan Singer and his long history of abuse allegations. With the future of the MCU's X-Men hanging in the multiverse, they share their hopes, fears, and a little bit of chaos about how Marvel might finally do these iconic characters justice.

Send us a textJUROR #2 It's late-December and, foregoing our usual Christmas-adjacent movie watch, this year TGTPTU has a very special treat for the holidays. That's right, listener, we bring to you our hot takes on what may prove to be Clint Eastwood's final film--and even more likely his final theatrically-released film--JUROR #2 (2024) in time for its MAX streaming release so that you might celebrate with us and have yourself a very Merry Clint-mas. Eastwood's latest film with Warner Brothers continues what was a trend (excepting Cry Macho and The Mule) of not starring the star of the 70's ape comedies and the Dirty Harry series, instead keeping Eastwood off camera and bringing in a murderer's row (some pun intended) of character actors, including Nicholas Hoult from multiple Bryan Singer flicks as the titular Juror #2; Toni Collette from The Sixth Sense as Assistant DA Faith Killebrew who may put her career on the line to explore whether the person she put away for murder is guilty; J.K. Simmons from Postal (and likely some other films) as a former detective on the jury who also has suspicions of innocence; Cedric Yarbrough from Reno 911! as juror out for justice; Kiefer Sutherland from multiple Joel Schumacher flicks as Juror #2's AA sponsor and lawyer confidant; and even one of Eastwood's many children--Francesca Eastwood--giving the double bird in multiple, retold scenes Rashomon-style playing the once-and-future corpse.  From The Mule & Richard Jewell, cinematographer Yves Bélanger is back with Mark Mancina returning from Cry Macho for the score. And surprisingly and, as discussed, perhaps as a first for Eastwood as a director, the man who addressed an empty chair at the RNC and practices TM actually worked with the film's writer to GASP! rewrite the script, an act host Ken who has seen and reported back on every Eastwood film takes to mean Juror #2 is the 94-year-old director's swan song.   And the song is good! While the hosts conflict on where the movie lands politically in its cynicism and realism, all four of the folx talking in your earholes believe the moving picture a solid mid-budget thriller that harkens back to a time/era of pre-streaming moviegoing. Speaking of an era ending, Warner Brothers appears to believe the Time of Eastwood is done, releasing this latest film from the long-time collaborator in under 50 theaters seven scheduled weeks before releasing it for streaming on MAX.   So get your spoilers here, and listen to the end of the p for what starts as a rant against WB's treatment of Eastwood and becomes men complaining about previews and ads before films that eventually ends with the four hosts recapping their 2024 movie-going experiences before awarding their best films of the year. Also fun: Evidence is presented throughout by hosts Ken and Thomas for whether provisional cohost Ryan should be promoted to a full-time host. Congrats, newly fully-fledged host Ryan. Don't rush to mess this up.

Bohemian Rhapsody was released on November 3, 2018, and the fascinating story behind one of the most influential groups ever continues to be unbelievably popular. However, some things shown in the movie kinda differ from the truth. TIMESTAMPS: The creators built an exact copy of Wembley Stadium for the movie 1:05 The Pepsi glasses you can see on the piano weren't a product placement 1:39 Queen didn't have any doubts about performing at Live Aid 2:17 Some of the vocal recordings for the film were done by Marc Martel 2:58 Mike Myers had previously appeared in a film listening to “Bohemian Rhapsody” 3:41 Queen didn't break the contract with EMI 4:20 Bohemian Rhapsody should've been directed by someone else 4:45 Freddie became a part of the band through Tim Staffell 5:12 “We Will Rock You” was written much earlier 6:04 Freddie Mercury wasn't the only one who tried to go solo 6:39 Freddie Mercury didn't know he was sick until 1987 7:29 The official soundtrack includes previously unreleased songs 8:24 Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY: The director of Live Aid was present during filming and was pleasantly surprised with how precise the reconstruction was. Some people pointed out that the creators added some very visible Pepsi product placement in the movie during the Live Aid scene. If you watch the original performance, you'll see these glasses on Mercury's piano too. But the true story is way less poetic than that. The pause in Queen's work didn't last for more than a year. Plus, in February 1984 they released a new album called The Works. Several years ago, Marc sent his cover versions of Queen songs to guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor. They were amazed by the similarities between Marc's voice and Freddie's. The actor, famous for his many roles, including Austin Powers, already listened to and even sang “Bohemian Rhapsody” in character in the movie Wayne's World! Queen did have some disagreements with EMI during the Night at the Opera era. Still, everything seemed to turn out all right since the band released many more albums with this label. The first person to take the director's chair was Bryan Singer, and he was actively working on the movie almost from the start. But 20th Century Fox decided to fire him. In the movie, we see Freddie meeting Roger and Brian after a concert when their frontman, Tim Staffell, decides to leave the project. But it wasn't exactly like that in real life. In real life, “We Will Rock You” appeared in Queen's hit album News of the World back in 1977 — several years before the actual concert. Pretty much every participant of Queen was trying to make their own solo albums work! The official soundtrack of the movie contains not only several famous songs we all know by heart but another 11 recordings that had not been released!

Before delving into the second season of X-Men: The Animated Series, our periodic explorations of the X-Men on film continues with another special episode! Up next for the burgeoning 20th Century Fox franchise is fan-favorite sequel X2: X-MEN UNITED. Jenny and Tim are joined by Keith Langston for a retrospective on the 2003 summer spectacular that in many respects established the template for big budget superhero blockbusters. As a paltry $75 million production, 2000's X-MEN was very much a story of managed expectations. However, by achieving the rare hat trick for a comic book movie of being faithful to the source material, receiving critical acclaim, and (more importantly) making money, a sequel was all but assured. Time had only been kind to the principal players: director Bryan Singer saw his stock rise considerably on the back of the film's success, and Hugh Jackman's performance as Wolverine proved to be a star-making role. Halle Berry, meanwhile, had since gone on to win a historic Academy Award for Best Actress in 2002. Producer Lauren Shuler-Donner cemented her reputation as a hitmaker, and was rewarded with a vastly increased budget to do the same - but more! - with X2: X-MEN UNITED. Suffice to say, everything is a little more polished this time around. The costumes, the props, the make-up, the sets, the effects, and particularly the action, are all a cut above X-MEN's modest trappings. X2's set pieces are grand and memorable individually, in ways its predecessor's are not. And while the fight choreography stands out for its jarring and dated generous use of "wire-fu," this was very much in keeping with the style at the time. Other early 2000s aesthetics threaten to date the film, but instead have a grounding effect - anchoring the fantastic elements in a reality that feels tangible and familiar. From Bobby Drake's domestic troubles to Jean's unfortunate triangle hair, it feels like these charactergs and conflicts occupy the world outside your window (or at least that of 2003). The overall result is incredibly important and effective in selling the metaphor of mutants as a real-world persecuted minority. All told, it's tempting to look back on X2 and call the film dated. A fallacy that implies it has aged badly. On the contrary, X2 simply remains both as good and as bad as it ever was. What stands out as glaringly messy today - in terms of plot, characters, and pacing - didn't work in 2003 either. But what the picture gets right - the cast, the performances, the effects and action scenes - still holds up remarkably well. Though once considered the gold standard in superhero filmmaking, the reality is that X2 has always been characterized by high peaks and low valleys. It's to no great shock that it has since been surpassed in prestige by subsequent efforts; after all, X2 is competing with another 21(!) years worth of genre films. Uneven though the movie may be, X2's reputation isn't sustained merely on the strength of nostalgia. It truly cashes in on the inherent, restrained potential of the first film, taking the franchise to new heights. In that sense, it can be said that X-MEN walked so X2 could fly.

Send us a Text Message.PAPRIKAFor the final episode of Season 12 Nolan Void, the TGTPTU gents get timey-wimy as they repeat last season finale with another film from anime director Satoshi Kon also allegedly plagiarized by the season's director, this time Kon's final flick PAPRIKA (2006) and Nolan's Inception rather than Black Swan stealing from Perfect Blue (Kon's first film, almost as if TGTPTU were considering a temporal pincer movement on the Japanese director who tragically died far too young after only four films).  This week, rookie host Ryan tries his hand at his first 60-second summary of this simple, straight-forward, extremely grounded plot of Paprika based on the 1993 novel of the same name. In short, the film takes place in an unexplained near future with technology that allows its cast of characters to share dreams and their experience therein blurs the waking world with a plot involving corporate espionage and a Japanese CEO, but in all the ways that Nolan's Inception does not.  After their PAPRIKA discussion finding no merit in the accusations of Sir Chris ripping off Kon, TGTPTU roundtables to rank Nolan's dozen flicks from folly to finest (although all four find all twelve quite good). Former host Jack returns from hammer murder accusations to join in the fun, counterbalancing fellow aspiring-Zoomer Thomas's rankings with an alt take for their entire generation. Ken has the boys contemplate future Nolan franchises, Ryan offers an astute comparison between Miami Vice vs Heat for two of Nolan's films, and we get the first mention of Mike, Thomas's side piece. And if that weren't enough, the “you may know us from other podcasts” bit gets officially retired.  Oh, and there's more: Weird AI presents its original Oppenheimer composition two weeks past deadline and the next season of the pod is announced (which, if no one promises to listen, will cover Bryan Singer's oeuvre; otherwise, we'll return later in the summer for another 4x4). THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Twitter: https://twitter.com/thegoodthepoda1YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gBuzzsprout: https://thegoodthepodandtheugly.buzzsprout.com/Letterboxd (follow us!):Ken: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

Luke and Nathan send their consciousnesses back to 2014 to revisit the fifth mainline installment of the X-Men film series, the sequel to X-Men: The Last Stand (2006) and X-Men: First Class (2011), a follow-up to The Wolverine (2013), and the seventh installment overall. Convinced that mutants pose a threat to humanity, Dr. Bolivar Trask (Peter Dinklage) develops the Sentinels, enormous robotic weapons that can detect a mutant gene and zero in on that person. In the 21st century, the Sentinels have evolved into highly efficient killing machines. With mutants now facing extinction, Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) volunteers to go back in time and rally the X-Men of the past to help change a pivotal moment in history and thereby save their future.

Why Wasn't It Better?

Since it's the 80th anniversary of the July 20 plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler, we decided to cover Valkyrie.
