Hey, Patt Tillman's brother burned down a post office. Seems like a very Michael and Us topic.

Brother Isaac

I loved it. It’s the actual American remake of Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s “Pulse” in the same way “Party Down” is the actual American version of “The Office”.

I loved superman. Totally get Luke’s cynicism after a decade of the marvel-chicken-nugget-ooze-machine, but it’s still totally possible to be a cinephile and still enjoy some of these. When they’re good.

I think the movie works best (and is funniest) if it’s read as if every character’s conflicting suspicions and views may as well all be literally true at the same time Weather the antifa death squad are a false flag or not, no one is changing their minds, no one is stopping that data center from being built

I think I was the only person in the world who saw Beau is Afraid twice in the theater. Loved it.

I'm open-minded regarding runtimes, but I don't think this movie justified its length.

I'm holding back on listening to this episode as Eddington isn't released in the UK for another couple of weeks. But as this is a 'Michael and Us at the movies' episode, can I take this opportunity to say I'm surprised you didn't do a 28 Years Later episode? Don't think it's even been mentioned in passing on the podcast. Lots to discuss in that film and would be interested to see if you think Alex Garland somewhat redeems himself after Civil War.

i'm surprised Walking Tall scholars didn't observe this as the 2020 version

Just watched this and am still absorbing it, but I think I quite liked it. I think the data center is the secret true villain of the film and the key to understanding it all. SPOILERS: Joe Cross begins as an opponent of the data center, but goes down this rabbit hole of conspiracy, petty grievance and covid discourse. It's all a distraction from the real fate of the town. In the end he ends up a puppet for solidgoldmagikarp instead of it's opponent. I think the only explanation for the antifa supersoldiers is that they are a false flag to ensure the centre gets built (they fly in a plane with a logo that's a fist gripping a globe). Also my wife has a friend who became a cult leader and the guy who plays Vernon in this absolutely nails the energy that guy had, it was honestly pretty uncanny. I think I'm in the camp of liking the first half a bit more, I think the antifa terrorists being a "real" thing kind of muddles the message a bit. I enjoyed Beau is Afraid more but this is still a solid movie from Aster. Also the funniest moment for me was this conversation: "what is the mayor doing about inequality?" "Well.. He's Hispanic." *hard cut to next scene*

Sean Enright

Saved this ep for when I finally watched this movie. I was ready for a Charlie Kirk storyline for the Brian character forgetting this movie was made before his assassination. This timeline is hell.
