This week on the podcast, film critic and author Marya E. Gates (read her Substack!) joins us for another double-feature deep dive into Nicolas Cage's 2010s filmography, this time as two men failing to run from violent pasts! In the VOD thriller Rage, Cage plays a former criminal whose successful life on the straight and narrow is disrupted by the kidnapping and death of his daughter, which sends him spiraling back, as the Bugs Bunny meme would say, to "the old me." The prototypical Redbox-y action and creaky performances follows, even as there are some glimmers of something interesting with its fresh spin on the usual revenge narratives. We follow that up with David Gordon Green's mournful Southern Gothic fable Joe, about an alcoholic tree-poisoner (Cage) who finds himself the erstwhile father figure to a kid (Tye Sheridan) trying to escape the thumb of his abusive father (Gary Poulter, one of moviedom's great one-and-done performances). Together, the three of us talk about these two distinct takes on Cage's distinct style of middle-aged vengeance -- one highbrow, one lowbrow -- and you'll be shocked where our opinions actually differ!

Welcome to another pulse-pounding episode of "Bad Days in Haddonfield." This week the Binge Buddies, comprised of Bryan Dressel, Matt "Zombie Dog Giggles" Dykes, Joel "Captain Obvious" DeWitte, and Ryan "Comedy Central" Lootens come together to talk about "Halloween Ends," which at the very least is better than "Kills." That said, it's a little of a different movie than one might expect given the advertising. Start "listening" to "see" for yourself. Oh wait.
MOVIE DISCUSSION: Melanie and Melvin talk about George Washington, David Gordon Green's critically celebrated directorial debut, a coming-of-age poverty drama dripping with heart. Topics: (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 28-minutes discussing various Director's who've produced remarkably good movies and remarkably bad movies, why there might be such varied quality among projects, and what makes these movies distinct in their own right. (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) George Washington isn't as plot heavy as it is character heavy, so Melvin explains some of what defines each character in the film. Melanie and Melvin both recommend George Washington prior to tuning in to their spoiler-filled discussion. Despite their clear talent virtually all of the teen and pre-teen actors have no acting credentials which speaks to David Gordon Green's effective directing. George Washington displays endearing cross-generational relationships that are both mundane and valuable, the kind where people treat each other like people regardless of age. Despite George Washington's warmth, the film is emotionally difficult to engage, as one guest Melvin invited to watch the film texted him that they couldn't finish it. George Washington, through understated means, plays along the dichotomy between beauty and sadness. Melvin reads a quote from the movie that comes from one of its leads, Vernon, and the two discuss what made this part of George Washington resonate so deeply with them. George Washington's angle for a teen/pre-teen coming-of-age narrative is to explore experiences of shame, repentance, forgiveness, and responsibility, concepts that are regularly ignored or poorly handled in films about adults or adult situations. The benefit of the ensemble cast of George Washington is that it gets to display various intimate and relatable responses to real-life situations everyone will encounter during one point of their life or another.

On this episode, the guys go back to Haddonfield one more time to chat about the conclusion of David Gordon Green's (overly?) ambitious horror trilogy, Halloween Ends! Should they have front-loaded the film with Michael and Laurie and gotten them out of the way first, instead of leaving it for last? How fabulous do the kills continue to be in these more recent films? And yikes, Cory getting bullied by the marching band kids is pretty hilarious! PLUS: Heed this film's warning and never, ever turn off a screening of John Carpenter's The Thing mid-way through!

Ian and David spend winter break in The Class!They've followed writer/director Nicholas Celozzi's high school angst-fest from principal photography to a red carpet charity event and interviews with many of its cast and crew.Starring a compelling group of up-and-comers (some catching big breaks as you read this), The Class centers on a six teens forced to spend a Saturday completing a Drama assignment and unpacking a steamliner's worth of personal baggage. Now that the film is available On Demand, the question remains: Is it any good?The answer is awkward, complicated, and full of rampant emotional swings--much like those fraught years between twelve and twenty. In this spoilerific review, the guys break down the good, the bad, and the editing. From thoughts on erratic pacing and questionable geography; to Message Movie overload, and the myriad hoops Celozzi jumps through to avoid accusations of "Breakfast Club 2.0" (the effects of which are alternately ill and inspired), this episode is full of lessons not found in any film studies curriculum!Show Links:Watch the The Class trailer.Keep up with David Fowlie's movie reviews at Keeping it Reel.Watch Ian's interview with The Class writer/director Nicholas Celozzi.Watch Ian's interview with The Class star Anthony Michael Hall.Watch Ian's coverage of the special Breakfast Club screening/red carpet event for The Class:.Catch up with Ian and David's reviews of David Gordon Green's Halloween trilogy (also featuring Anthony Michael Hall--and mentioned in this episode!): Halloween (2018, Audio Only)Halloween Kills (2021)Halloween Ends (2022)Subscribe to, like, and comment on the Kicking the Seat YouTube channel!
