Christopher Nolan, Yorgos Lanthimos, Martin Scorsese, and Greta Gerwig discuss the 2024 Oscar nominations. They delve into the themes of corruption, political unrest, and feminism in the nominated films. They also discuss the snubs, surprises, and notable nominations.

Kelsi and Trey discuss how Tina Fey's newest iteration of 'Mean Girls' starring Reneé Rapp as the complex Regina George isn't as fetch as her original 2004 film starring Lindsey Lohan, Rachel McAdams, and Amanda Seyfried. After a short review of the 2024 musical Mean Girls, we deep dive the original cult classic and explore the movie's mostly-successful satire, its cultural legacy, the rules of feminism, and whether or not McAdams should've received the Margot Robbie treatment--get in loser, we're going shopping!

Kelsi and Trey discuss the great man myth and the underdeveloped women in Bradley Cooper's 'Maestro,' Sean Durkin's 'The Iron Claw,' and Michael Mann's 'Ferrari.' We explore the flawed lead characters of these three features led by Bradley Cooper, Zac Efron, Jeremy Allen White, Harris Dickinson, Adam Driver, and more. While all three films are semi-successful, their major problem is that they never fully contextualize the women behind their flawed men, with incredible performances from Carey Mulligan, Lily James, Penelope Cruz, and more!

Kelsi and Trey discuss one of the most awkward live ceremonies ever put to screen.

Kelsi and Trey recorded a 3 hour exploration of Paul Thomas Anderson's masterpiece 'Phantom Thread' starring Daniel Day-Lewis and Vicky Krieps. They discuss how the film is revered as a meditation on the cost of romance, a deconstruction of the tortured great man myth, and how Anderson subverts our genre expectations with suggestions of a post-war through line with subtle themes of anti-semitism, homophobia, and class constraints.

Kelsi and Trey discuss Steven Spielberg's career, whether or not 'Catch Me If You Can' is his best movie of the 21st century, and if this is Leonardo DiCaprio's most dynamic performance. They explore the tonal complexities between this project being a cautionary tale of white privilege or a modern take on the romanticized rebel. Ultimately its father-son love story holds it together, with the help of performances from Christopher Walken, Tom Hanks, Amy Adams, and many more.

Kelsi and Trey explore the complex power dynamics of Yorgos Lanthimos' Poor Things and Ira Sachs' Passages. We begin our conversation by discussing our complicated relationship to the Emma Stone odyssey and end with the self-destructive Franz Rogowski love triangle. Both Poor Things and Passages are two of the best films of 2023, but we love one more!

Kelsi and Trey discuss Ridley Scott and his cinematic exploration of deconstructing the biggest of ideas--maybe too big. Scott is back at 86-years-old with Napoleon, a film both fascinated and terrified by the fragility of powerful men. We unpack Scott's artistic mission and how successful his satirical vision of Napoleon is. Also, Joaquin Phoenix is hilariously anti-charismatic and Vanessa Kirby is electric--great performances.
