AYT #148: The Beguiled / The Bad Batch
Joe and Erik discuss two new films from exciting auteurs and find plenty of overlapping elements between them, beyond the fact that, yes, Sofia Coppola and Ana Lily Amirpour are women working behind the camera. The latter's sophomore feature, The Bad Batch, is a film that's gotten mixed responses since premiering at Venice last year, but we find much to love about it. Before we get to that, though, we discuss and disagree on The Beguiled.

Over/Under Movies #65 - Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl / The Weather Man
Oktay and Ryan dive into a Gore Verbinski double-feature as Ryan picks the first - and most beloved - "Pirates of the Caribbean" film as the overrated and the oddball, existential dark comedy "The Weather Man" as the underrated.

AYT #147: Wonder Woman / It Comes At Night / War Machine
Joe and Erik open the show with Wonder Woman and the film's enormous success over the weekend. From there, it's onto our larger topic, writer/director Trey Edward Shults' sophomore film It Comes At Night, which despite its misleading marketing (it's not a monster movie, more a European-flavored horror/survivalist art picture) is a strong effort nonetheless. We also find time at the end of the show to discuss War Machine and some other deflating original releases from Netflix so far this year.
