It's all fun and games until someone spikes the sangria with LSD! Chris Farmer is back and we are talking about Gaspar Noe's Climax, and boy did we have a lot to talk about. As a group of dancers (led by Sophia Boutella) hold a party in an abandoned school to unwind, things get downright trippy, as they discover they've all been drugged without their knowledge. As events play out, secrets are revealed, tensions run high, and all some of them can do is dance through their trip, while others are just trying to survive the night, in one of the most maddeningly creative films we've ever seen.
The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are spinning, twirling, leaping, and tripping balls to try and make heads or tails out of the French movie "Climax," one of the worst films of 2019. The guys pitch their own version on the spot with Switch the Pitch and then conclude with America's favorite game, "So Shalit Be." Available on iTunes and Spotify Episode 249 includes: -"Star Trek" is back, maybe this time, with Noah Hawley in the captain's chair. -"Frozen II" let something go... its sense of quality. -"Doctor Sleep" is a movie that serves two masters and also functions as Stephen King's X-Men. -The guys try and question the point of Gaspar Noe's "Climax." -This Week's Pitch -- Switch the Pitch: Climax -Noe's movie gets rewritten on the spot as Ben and Nate pitch a new version with a random generator for different plot elements. -This Week's Game -- So Shalit Be! -To summarize the movies reviewed this week, the guys channel the spirit of famed film critic Gene Shalit to come up with increasingly lurid blurbs for them.
Carter and Jonathan come back from their brief hiatus to discuss two new and very weird horror movies: Jordan Peele's Us and Gaspar Noe's Climax.
With Frightfest well and truly disappearing in the rearview mirror and the post-fest blues hitting full force, we turn our focus back to the business at hand with Minisode 18! Topics include past Frightfest Discovery pick, Painless, while Andy, hot from the Frightfest closing night screening of Gaspar Noe's Climax, throws himself full pelt into the enfant terrible's back catalogue from I Stand Alone to Love. Also, we check in on Mitch's progress through the ShockWaves 100! ALSO, we have another installment of MITCH'S PITCHES! Due to his well documented ignorance towards films, Mitch is shown a film poster with all titles, taglines etc removed and tasked with attempting to decipher the plot. Will it go well? The poster image can be seen below with the image that Mitch was working from on the left...
