To continue the trend of covering this year's Oscar-nominated directors' previous features, Mateo, Chris, and Seb take a trip with Mikey Saber down to Galveston, TX to watch Sean Baker's (surprisngly underseen) Red Rocket. How does this one compare to Anora, which has now emerged as the clear frontrunner in the race? Why did people latch onto Anora but not Red Rocket? Was Simon Rex snubbed? Join us!
Esta semana venimos dispuestos a meternos de lleno en la reinvención de crear nuevas vidas y las posibilidades infinitas. Arrancaremos hablando de las variantes infinitas que se pueden crear en los universos del Dr. Extraño en el multiverso de la locura, continuaremos con la reinvención de un actor porno de vuelta a su texas natal en Red Rocket y terminamos con la reinvención que tiene que hacer una dolescente tras despertarse de un coma de 20 años. Todo ello, como siempre, sin spoilers. La secuela del doctor extraño nos lleva al lado más místico y oscuro de las distintas realidades alternativas para enfrentarse a un gran villano que le acechará por todos los multiversos. Benedict Cumberbatch vuelve a ponerse al frente de esta película con Elizabeth Olsen, Rachel McAdams y la incorporación de Xochitl Gomez bajo de la dirección de un Sam Raimi que recogió la batuta tras la espantada de Scott DErrickson. Continua Marvel por la buena forma? En Red Rocket conocemos a Mikey Saber, una estrella del cine porno cuyo momento ha pasado y da con sus huesos en su punto más bajo. A partir de ahí regresará a su pueblo de Texas a tratar de reagrupar su vida en un lugar en el que nadie le echa de menos. Sean Baker dirige a un sorprendente Simon Rex en una pequeña sensación indie del pasado festival de Cannes. ¿Hay materia para tanto precursor? Una animadora sufre un aparatoso accidente en su instituto y se despierta 20 años después en una sala de hospital. Ahora, con 37 años tratará de luchar por conseguir su mayor sueño: Ser la reina del baile de su instituo. Rebel Wilson se carga a sus espaldas el debut de Alex Hardcastle en el largo en exclusiva para Netflix, ¿otra más para el contenedor imposible de la plataforma?
This week, we discuss 3 films from celebrated American indie director Sean Baker. First, we discuss Tangerine (2015), a comedy-drama about 2 transgender prostitutes in a notorious neighbourhood of Los Angeles. Next, we talk about The Florida Project (2017), a story of a young mother and child living in a motel just outside Walt Disney World. The film earned a Best Supporting Actor nomination for Willem Dafoe. Finally, we move into a discussion of Baker's most recent film, Red Rocket (2021). The film stars Simon Rex as Mikey Saber, an adult film actor who returns to his hometown on the Texas Gulf Coast.

Pünktlich zum Frühjahrsloch kommen die sonderbaren und speziellen Filme. Wer sich ein bisschen mit Hunden auskennt kann schon ahnen, worum es in Red Rocket mitunter geht. Einen Penis. Aber nicht nur um diesen, sondern auch um die Person, zu der er gehört. Mikey Saber ist ein ehemals erfolgreicher Pornostar, der sich in LA einen Ruf aufgebaut hat. Offenbar allerdings einen zweifelhaften, denn er kommt ohne einen Penny und nur mit den Kleidern die er trägt als seinen letzten Besitz zurück in seine Heimatstadt. Da er kein Geld hat versucht er seine entfremdete Ehefrau und deren Mutter zu überzeugen für ein paar Tage bei ihnen unterzukommen. Mit Erfolg. Doch kaum scheint er sich seiner Frau wieder anzunähern erscheint die 17-jährige Strawberry auf dem Schirm. Ein junges, hübsches Ding, das Mickeys Herz und Gemächt zum pulsieren bringt. Und so umgarnt er den Teenager und will sie zum Next Big Thing in seiner Industrie machen um endlich wieder in sein altes Leben zurückkehren zu können. Sean Baker ist bekannt für seine Geschichten, die nah an der amerikanischen Gesellschaft spielen und einen Blick in deren Leben wirft. Armut, Drogen und Konflikte gehören zum Alltag vieler und bekommen durch seine Arbeit mit nahezu unerfahrenen Darstellern einen nahezu dokumentarischen Charakter. Mit diesem Konzept war er bereits mit The Florida Project auf den Festivals sehr erfolgreich und auch für Red Rocket scheint sich die Herzen der Kritiker zu erwärmen. Definitiv kein Film für Besucher von Blockbuster-Filmen aber trotzdem interessant für Filminteressierte, die Freude finden an Filmen, die kleine und intime Geschichten aus dem Leben eines Jedermanns erzählen.
We've got a juicy one for you this week! We're diving further into Sean Baker's repertoire, looking at his latest film Red Rocket (2021).Red Rocket stars Simon Rex as washed up porn star, Mikey Saber, who returns to his hometown in Texas City.

As chaos ensues, Mikey meets seventeen year-old Strawberry, who he believes could be the next big thing in the world of adult entertainment, and incidentally his ticket to success.We're incredibly excited to be chatting with Simon Rex, who just won Best Male Lead at the Independent Spirit Awards for his performance in the film! We discuss how he approached a character with such questionable morals, as well as his feelings of imposter syndrome despite being an actor in the industry for three decades.Red Rocket is currently available to watch in UK cinemas.Next week, we'll be looking at Maggie Gyllenhaal's directorial debut, The Lost Daughter, starring Olivia Colman, Jessie Buckley and Dakota Johnson.

[Spoiler Alert] In this episode of K-Drama School, Grace discusses the show Our Beloved Summer (SBS, 2021-2022). Grace talks about Kim Dami and Choi Woo-shik's acting careers, their awkward romantic chemistry on the small screen, and how K-dramas today are exhibiting “first” world problems as opposed to more developing-nation problems seen in dramas from 20+ years ago. Grace's guest is LA-based comedian Mike Rose (@themikerose on Instagram), and their discussion is a deep textual analysis of Sean Baker's latest film Red Rocket (2021), Santa Clause and reindeers' pagan mythology being associated with amanita mushrooms' hallucinogenic properties, how Red Rocket is comparable to Fellini's Nights of Cabiria, the time Mike corresponded with Sean Baker, how marginalized people live off the “edge of industry,” Simon Rex's Hollywood history as a teen movie celebrity with a past in porn, Rex's gorgeous penis, his past as an MTV VJ, male body image issues, how Red Rocket exposes useless masculinity that justifies its presence by emphasizing stereotypical female weakness, the stigmatization of sex workers, the extent of Mikey Saber's rationalizing for his own survival, the “nerve” of the filmmaker to use NSYNC's “Bye Bye Bye” in the opening of the film, and their great love for the performances and explorations in this film.

It's movies-that-studios-are-pushing-for-awards week on Spoilerpiece! First up, Evan and Dave talk about Mike Mills' C'MON C'MON (1:48), a funny drama starring Joaquin Phoenix as Johnny, who steps in to take care of his nephew Jesse (Woody Norman) while Jesse's mother Viv (Gaby Hoffman) tends to her husband, Jesse's father, who has bipolar disorder. That's a clunky description, but don't hold that against us because it's a great conversation about a movie that's firmly plugged into its emotional arc. Next, everyone saw THE TENDER BAR (22:03), director George Clooney's latest, about JR (Daniel Ranieri as a kid and Tye Sheridan as a young adult), who moves with his mother (Lily Rabe) to her childhood home. Good news: Her brother, JR's Uncle Charlie, is Ben Affleck. The bad news? Not enough Ben Affleck. Lastly, we talk about RED ROCKET (39:15), director Sean Baker's latest. Mikey Saber (a terrific Simon Rex), a washed-up porn star, returns to his working class Texas hometown, crashing into his estranged wife's life, and striking up a creepy romance with a 17-year-old (Suzanna Son) whom he's trying to groom into a porn career that he hopes will restart his own. Over on our Patreon we talk about FARGO, the Coen brothers' comedic thriller starring Frances McDormand, William H. Macy, and Steve Buscemi. If you join our $5 tier, you'll get immediate access to that conversation and more than 200 bonus episodes!
