Beauty and messy stories are the foundations of Y Tu Mama Tambien (2001). From colonization and privilage, to sex jokes and stoner humor, we make the best of Ben's Diego Luna obsession to look closer at this "teen road trip movie" directed by Alfonso Cuarón.

Intimacy isn’t always sexy. Sometimes it's just matching each others' weird.

🎥 Phantom Thread gives us the romance of learning to live with someone, from caretaking, boundaries, and even discomfort.

David Lynch never tells you what anything “means,” and that’s exactly why 🎥 Mulholland Drive endures.

We talk about the beauty of unanswered questions, Naomi Watts’ devastating dual performance, and why art is most powerful when it refuses to explain itself.

Ocean’s Eleven. I will never tire of it. It’s so cool, so slick, and yet so unserious. A true comfort watch.

In “We Look Like a Podcast!”, we explored Akira Kurosawa's 🎥 Sanjuro (1962). 

A sequel that is more than, “Yojimbo, but bigger, badder baddies”, it forces us to ask why use violence when cleverness’ll do.

In Phantom Thread (2017), tenderness often shows up as discomfort. In this episode, we dig into how Anderson’s film turns the “tortured genius” trope on its head, and gives us something rarer: the romance of learning to live with someone.

Two notes.

An iconic villain.

Jaws made waves in New Hollywood, and in this episode we wade through tension, and the power of perspective.
