Merry Christmas! Peter, Alyssa, and I hope everyone out there is having a happy holidays. As you try to figure out what to watch with the family in this down week, we took a look at Netflix’s awards...
On this week’s show, Sonny Bunch (The Bulwark), Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post), and Peter Suderman (Reason) talked about Netflix’s big data release. What plays? What doesn’t? What are they...
This is not the movie’s fault, precisely, but it’s definitely a picture that I wish I’d seen without having seen the trailer for it approximately 23 times this summer/fall in front of every single...
I think this movie is kind of a mess—overly long and gratingly, endlessly didactic—and I generally hate how Lanthimos directs actors. But I will say I laughed out loud a dozen times at the straightforward...
I always feel a little distanced from Miyazaki's work because I know there's just a lot that I'm missing from his movies. And I felt that distance here. But it's still a terrifically moving movie if...
On this week’s episode, Sonny Bunch (The Bulwark), Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post), and Peter Suderman (Reason) discuss the Golden Globes and the odd fact that the same company owns not only the...
I'll be honest: I'm a little less blown away by this film than some of my peers, though I think it's a nice little movie. I just kind of prefer the messy meanness of ELECTION to the growth-inducing...
This week, Sonny Bunch (The Bulwark), Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post), and Peter Suderman (Reason) discuss Bob Iger’s decision to slam Disney’s “messaging” in recent movies. Does he really...
So SILENT NIGHT’s gimmick is that it has almost no dialogue; the lead gets shot in the throat and goes off for revenge against the Mexican gangsters who killed his kid. The first (almost only) line...
I think NAPOLEON is a bit of a mess but it's a darkly hilarious mess and moves along speedily. Pacing is kind of an issue, but not in the sense people usually mean (i.e., because it drags), more because...
On this week’s episode, Sonny Bunch (The Bulwark), Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post), and Peter Suderman (Reason) discuss the removal of Melissa Barrera from the forthcoming Scream sequel in the...
The PARASITE* of 2023.
A gorgeous-looking, impeccably acted film about the lower orders being dangerous to true elites with tonal issues and serious third-act problems that inspires bizarrely strong...
I think this movie is, like the other movies in this series, totally serviceable. I do feel very strongly, however, that Rachel Zegler is an absolute star. She's probably the best thing about Spielberg's...
On this week’s episode, Sonny Bunch (The Bulwark), Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post), and Peter Suderman (Reason) talked about Ridley Scott’s riotous press tour and his disdain for historical...
I’m not sure the central metaphor of DREAM SCENARIO—which is nominally about viral fame and cancellation—*entirely* works, but it’s a great portrait of a fundamentally unlikable sort of guy...
“Who needs a Trojan Horse when you have Postmates?”
Again: it’s very clever! My single serving friend in movie form. And technically proficient as one might expect from David Fincher. I’m not...
On this Tuesday’s episode, Sonny Bunch (The Bulwark), Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post), and Peter Suderman (Reason) have a fine time highlighting Marvel’s myriad problems, from the serious (a...
Priscilla Presley lives. Indeed, her life after Elvis is something like four times as long as it was with Elvis. But you wouldn’t have any idea about that from this movie. Despite the title, despite...
On this Tuesday’s show, Sonny Bunch (The Bulwark), Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post), and Peter Suderman (Reason) discuss the fall’s surprise breakout at the box office: Five Nights at Freddy’s,...
On this week’s episode, Sonny Bunch (The Bulwark), Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post), and Peter Suderman (Reason) discuss the cancellation of Jon Stewart’s show by Apple. Was it driven by fear...
