Repertory Screenings

Somehow we managed to satisfy Em’s desire for a lurid gothic horror and Jackson’s need for realistic fiction about class violence all in a single movie. Honestly a christmas miracle, never to happen again. It’s a great bad time as we watch Luis Buñuel’s classic Viridiana!

Everyone’s tired as August continues to be hot and busy but we make the time for one of the early entries of the buddy cop movie and talk about movies that stand with a foot in two eras, the ideas of honesty in something as fake as a movie, and more besides with this Walter Hill classic.

We’re back with one of those classics that just ends up on your to-watch pile out of sheer inertia even when you clearly don’t know anything about it. There’s a joy in actually watching those, especially when it turns out you had no idea what it was actually about, and also the movie’s just good in ways that surprise you!

Romantic comedy comes to RS in a big way as we watch this Indian classic and discuss the power of stardom, why guys always have to suck, and the power of earnestness in telling a story.

We managed to miss an entire episode slot, which means this episode is two weeks late. Very sorry! I’d say we have a ton of movies to talk about because of this, but really only Em watched movies during the month between episodes, but we have a good time anyway! Turns out, Rules of the Game is just a great movie about class, the decay of the ruling class in Europe, and the ennui of having an affai...

Art is life is art is life. Sometimes you reflect the world around you in your work, but the world around you is influenced by work. Sometimes you gaze into your navel, and the navel gazes back. Sometimes you’re aware of all of this, but that doesn’t prevent you from not doing it. We all are just getting through, as best we can. Anyway, this movie’s pretty funny. Send us any email questions and co...

Join us as we talk about what it means to grieve, the lack of black martial arts movies, and also Three Colors: Blue!

Some days you see a movie that you just agree with so much that you don’t have anything to say. You just point at the screen and go “Yeah, that’s it.” Today is just that movie.

We have a new worst movie! Much discussion is had about cultural comedy, the pressure of time, and what it means to revisit things as an adult. The episode is pretty good, sometimes it pays to lower the bar. *NOTE: Destiny’s on the wrong mic we know, also it’s late summer so it’s cricket city over here, apologies for the background friends Send us any email questions and comments about the movies...
