The Proposition (2005)

Many thanks to Tim aka "DoubleT" from our forums for commissioning another (he previously commissioned the awesome "Animal Kingdom") Aussie modern classic, 2005's "The Proposition". It can be best described as an Australian flavored Western, sharing many similarities with the American genre while bestowing the style with the unique characteristics of the Australian landscape and it's own history with outlaws and indigenous people. Starring Guy Pierce, Danny Huston, and Sam Winstone, it is bleak, unforgiving, at times enigmatic and impenetrable. If you like "Unforgiven", "3:10 to Yuma", "True Grit" or any of the gritty modern Westerns, you'll no doubt be as absorbed as we were.Thanks again for your support, Tim!

Mean Girls (2004)

Special thanks to Dr. Brandon Devito, Bald Move's favorite dentist, for commissioning our latest podcast, "Mean Girls", on behalf of his daughter, Carmen. "Mean Girls" screenplay was written by the great Tina Fey, and has a lot of star power, with Lindsay Lohan being joined by Rachel McAddams, Lacey Chabert, Amanda Seyfried, Tim Meadows, and Tina Fey pulling double duty. It's smart, funny, and offers an insightful look into the dynamics of the high school experience from a female perspective. Who better to commentate on it than two 30 something guys who don't have daughters?  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)

Special thanks to Tyler Shumway for commissioning this podcast, on 2004's Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind. If you haven't seen it, I suggest doing so before you listen to the cast, as it's a neat little movie with a lot of twists and turns that we'll spoil mercilessly. Written by Charlie Kaufman and starring Jim Carey, Kate Winslet, and Elijah Wood among others, it's a meditation on relationships and loss and why sometimes things just don't work out, or maybe they can? We've got our opinions about the answers the movie has to offer, but I imagine there are lots of alternate solutions.Thanks again to Tyler for commissioning Eternal Sunshine, it was great to re-watch and re-visit.

The Martian (2015)

Jim and A.Ron saw Ridley Scott's "The Martian" last night, starring Matt Damon, and have a lot to say about it. Note, the first part of the podcast is spoiler free, but then when we say we're about to spoil things, that's your cue to get out while the getting is good. Along the way, we talk about the trailers we saw for The Revenant, The Big Short, Joy, and Concussion.Support Bald Move: Amazon | Club Bald MoveIf you are still hungry for more Martian goodness, might I recommend reading Andy Weir's original book (The Martian) the film is based on? Then, I'd proceed to reading Robert Zubrin's A Case For Mars, upon which most of the science of the book and film are based upon. And if that's not enough, check out the Red/Green/Blue Mars trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson.

The Color Purple (1985)

Special thanks to D'Nique G, who commissioned us to watch the 1985 Steven Spielberg film, "The Color Purple", based on the novel by Alice Walker and starring Whoopi Goldberg, Oprah Winfrey, and Danny Glover. While we found some of the tonal shifts and musical choices in the first half bizarre, the movie nevertheless drew us into the story of one woman's triumph over countless adversities, and the ending of this movie has a heart as big, wide, and bright as Celie's smile.Thanks again for your support, D'Nique!

The Way of the Gun (2000)

Much thanks to Nick Knol for commissioning the 2000 Christopher McQuarrie film, "The Way of the Gun", starring Ryan Phillippe, Benicio del Toro, and Juliette Lewis. As dark, gritty, violent, funny, post-Tarantino quasi-western fable, we found a lot to enjoy, but wondered if the plot was too convoluted for it's own good. In this we discuss questionable obstetrics, geriatric hitmen, and our inner outlaws.Thanks again, Nick! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Animal Kingdom (2010)

This Australian crime drama from 2010 really snuck up on us. It's not what you might think given only that description, but it delivers the goods. We talk about a mother who kisses her children just a little too long, some of the excellent performances, and how it stacks up against other films in the gangster genre.Fair warning: you should see this movie before listening to the podcast because a) you'll be lost if you don't, and b) much of its value is in that first watch. You've been warned.
