After a brief break we鈥檙e back with the first of our 2025 Halloween episodes! We tackled The Fly (1986) which was somehow both grosser and less gross than we thought it would be

Finally watching Gladiator II, and I鈥檇 love to know what people who were big fans of the original thought of it. We were kinda meh in the original, but for those that weren鈥檛 how do you think the sequel held up to the original?

I鈥檓 plenty happy with an Anora win for Best Picture. I enjoyed seeing it in theaters, and I鈥檓 happy to watch it again and get to cover it for the podcast, which is much more than I can say for some winners. Well deserved win.

I can鈥檛 say I鈥檓 surprised at Brody鈥檚 win. I probably would鈥檝e gone with Fiennes, but even if The Brutalist wasn鈥檛 for me, you can tell Brody put a lot of care into his performance

I鈥檓 ok with the Brutalist winning cinematography. Other than Nosferatu though it feels like one of the weaker categories and there are other films I would鈥檝e liked to have seen nominated

Honestly feel like The Substance got so snubbed on sound. It was such a huge part of the horror in that film

Another slam dunk for Wicked on production design. Could not be more well deserved! That movie is an absolute confection

Happy to see Anora pick up editing. That scene where Vanya runs and leaves Ani to deal with everything is a textbook example of comedic editing.

So it鈥檚 gunna be Anora vs Conclave for best picture. In which case I鈥檓 keeping my fingers crossed for Anora.

Wrapped things up watching Emilia Perez this morning. I鈥檓 so confused by the critical acclaim for this film. Why is it a musical? The overall tone isn鈥檛 camp enough to pull it off. The songs aren鈥檛 good and the staging is underwhelming. The characters feel underwritten.

Dune Part 2: visually stunning and I liked it better than the first one but still kinda meh on it. Very one note and I just don鈥檛 find the characters compelling, but then I鈥檝e never been able to finish the book despite trying three times

A Complete Unknown: Standard meh biopic. I was underwhelmed by Chalamet鈥檚 performance. It seemed to hinge exclusively on mimicking Dylan & didn鈥檛 really give me anything else interesting for the character of Dylan in the movie. Norton stole every scene he was in.

Kicked it off with Wicked. What a phenomenal adaptation. Musical numbers are great but also a lot of quieter emotional moments that really shine. Powerhouse performances from Erivo & Grande. Only reason it won鈥檛 be higher on my rankings is cause it isn鈥檛 a full story, but a part 1

The Substance: Incredible. Moore and Qualley are both amazing. Everything from production design to costuming is impeccable. Was I hiding in my hoodie in horror for half of it? Yes. Was I loving every second of it? Also yes.

Anora: A fun examination of the chaos that can be sown by the ulta wealthy on those who find themselves in their orbit. Comedy general hits and Madison is great. Didn鈥檛 quite stick the landing at the very end for me, but overall I liked it

Nickel Boys: Appreciated inventive cinematography & sound design. Switching first person perspective didn鈥檛 always work for me but liked the way the story unfolded. Slow at first but brought it home in the end. Brandon Wilson鈥檚 performance as Turner was by far my fave part

Conclave: Fiennes was great (as always) & score was an absolute standout. Liked the thriller vibes, but the pace often dragged which I think hurt the film overall. Generally solid themes but didn鈥檛 do anything different with them. Solid but pretty standard Oscar fare

Just finished I鈥檓 Still Here and really loved it. Lot鈥檚 tears but loved the look of the film and was very impressed by the performances. Last act dragged a little and I think I could鈥檝e done without it, but overall was a fan
