Joe is forcing me go to the theater to see The Holdovers.

Godzilla 1998 is terrible, it’s crazy how much they try to pony off of Jurassic Park’s success

Luke Gordnier

Picked up sideways on dvd recently, I’ll definitely be checking it out this year.

Imagine that was a childhood movie for me so I can’t hate it

Great !! I would love if you too talk about the Comedy Central Roast of James Franco (in my opinion the APEX of the Apatow era of comedy) also the first two Fallout are amazing...but I'm done with the new fallout stuff sadly.

I watched The Holdovers last night and I enjoyed it for the most part. I think mainly because it was a throwback to character dramas of the time. I'm a big softy when it comes to movies, especially when it involves family relations and even more so when it's a father/son relationship. I didn't even tear up during the sanatorium scene. It's a shame he lost his job for a scene that was unmoving.

Thanks for the timestamps amichi! Battle of Algiers is another great French war movie, though of a different sort. The Algerian Insurgency is a really brutal action that most Frenchmen would rather forget

Ryan, did you watch any of the other Shin movies (Ultraman or Kamen Rider)? I believe Hideaki Anno wrote and directed Kamen Rider but only co-wrote Ultraman. Both were decent! As someone more familiar with Super Sentai, I didn’t have a tough time keeping up. I left Shin Ultraman doing his classic pose and Shin Kamen Rider kicking. (I want a Shin Astro Boy next.)

Wonka is fine! The songs and some of the wordplay were more Dr. Suess than Roald Dahl to me and the candy was underwhelming but I had a decent time.

There was one of those hokey actors talking to each other videos last month with Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Alden Ehrenreich and she was describing her acting process (hiring a dialect coach and how they found old news footage from 1960s Baltimore and all this stuff) that got me even more interested after Joe’s initial review - now that it’s streaming I think I’ll finally get to it lol

Sidetracks

I’ll be talking about it on this month’s movie catch-up

Sidetracks

I’ll probably be doing that going forward so you can avoid spoilers

Mary and Steve

Did you guys see the Beekeeper trailer

I'll judge for myself whether I like Godzilla Minus One and The Holdovers when I see them of course but I fully agree with Ryan about how these days anything with even a bit of competent storytelling and absence of political messaging gets hyped to the moon. I remember last year and the one before it Top Gun: Maverick and Ford vs Ferrari getting hyped to death and I just found them middling 3 out 5 movies personally.

Mary and Steve

If you want to talk about a Technophobic American Boomer’s revenge fantasy, then yes

Ryan Lancello

No, but have been meaning to check them out

Trevor Poe

That Jonah Hill impression 😂
