I’ve watched this movie several times over the last year and it’s still wonderful. It really deserved all those little golden men.

I also watched top gun maverick on a plane right after watching the first one and that movie was a real crappy experience on such a small screen

Benji Black

Alright, I see what you did with the intro.

Great discussion, thanks! Wanted to quickly mention for Brad's sake that Star Trek Strange New Worlds is a deliberate attempt to recapture the naive energy of older Trek. It's mostly episodic, as well, which is a nice change of pace from every shows current need to be a 12 hour movie. I quite liked it, YMMV.

Alex, the editing, chef's kiss.

Nikolaj Jensen

Alex you’re doing excellent work with the podcast.

Good finale for the month, glad to hear Alex and Brad being positive on it too. Now as excited as I was for this episode, I *really* can’t wait to hear you talk about Mario Bros…

Stephen Beattie

Wonderful movie, you noticed Gonggongs mech suit was his wheelchair transformed? :)

From what I understand, after the #oscarssowhite thing happened in (I think) 2015, the academy made a push to include a lot more and diverse members so they wouldn't be embarrassed again.

Harith

Please get Jess to join you for the Mario watchcast!

Really enjoying the Watchcast. Yes Madam was maybe my favorite M. Yeoh joint. Oscar sidenote: even though I mostly disregard the awards, I was a little incredulous none of the actors in Banshees of Inisherin got one, Kerry Condon or Barry Keoghan at least. Emotional layers and funny.

Also apparently Jenny Slate was supposed to play a much more prominent role in an earlier cut and she got edited out because of the length of the movie. I feel so bad she gets left out of all the conversations (and even promo photos) despite being a big part of it.

Also (sorry to keep commenting), because the movie is so dear to me I've looked up a bunch of interviews about it. Essentially the frantic nature of the editing is because (at least) one of the Daniels has very bad ADHD and that lends itself to their editing style. But he also wanted to make the movie like that to give a depiction of how overwhelming ADHD can feel at times, and I think they nailed it.

Honestly surprised to hear how much praise was lavished on Stephanie Hsu, and later criticism of Jamie Lee Curtis. (and thanks to the freaking Oscars has kind of turned the broader conversation into one actress versus another, which really sucks) I had the privilege of seeing this film before the hype train really came in and, like Brad, had avoided most information about it. Stephanie Hsu was very good but I walked away thinking hers was the weakest performance of the principle cast. She was great in the dramatic parts but flatter in the wacky villain scenes. When I found out that the role was originally intended for Awkwafina I immediately thought "Ohhh, that makes a lot of sense." Even though, ironically, I don't necessarily know that Awkwafina would have been as able to carry the more emotional scenes as the daughter. (Also, kind of funny that Michelle Yeoh, Awkwafina, and Stephanie Hsu were all in Shang Chi together -- directly preceding the release of Everything Everywhere All At Once) Different opinions and all that, great performances all around, just surprised at the seeming consensus on the podcast when the group I watched the film was more blown away by Jamie Lee Curtis... But in terms of being blown-away we were *especially* shocked by Ke Huy Quan. Unreal that he hadn't been in a movie in decades and he was the heart of that whole thing. Really incredible performance.
