We showed up for Kelly Reichardt’s Showing Up and spent some time with a very glum sculptor and one injured bird.

Sinners is a blood-soaked, music-drenched, powerful and mystifying horror-thriller. And there are two Michael B. Jordans! Two!!

So. Much. Yelling. In. Russian. We watched Sean Baker’s heartrending, tragi-comic new film and then dug into the class conflict / representations of sex work / weaponized wealth of it all.

Cheryl’s still working on her treatise, “A Unified Theory of Action Movies and Why They’re Her Problematic Fave,” but we get into some of its broader points after watching this adrenaline-fueled Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle.

THE WRITING
Muscles, muscles everywhere. In The Iron Claw, pro wrestling is the stuff of melodrama and inconceivable tragedy. Join us in the ring.
It started with a student story about phrogging. It ended with us watching a 20-year-old Korean movie that had us reflecting on class, small appliance repair, and the utter beauty of not talking.

This was (obviously) a heavy conversation. We covered the banality of evil, the ways we remember atrocity, familial protectionism, gradations of complicity, small acts of resistance, and the practice of viewing present-day horrors through the lens of future generations. It’s a lot. We muddle through, together.

We didn’t expressly set out to do it, but we took a stance on Barbenheimer and watched Oppenheimer first. We had sooooo many things to say about this movie about a war criminal feeling bad for his crimes (bomb-and-cry). It was late but we were jazzed to talk about war movies, anti-war movies, and what it means to think you’re saving the world. Joe edited out a burp from Cheryl. You’re welcome.

We get real loopy talking about the zany Filipino meta-action movie, Leonor Will Never Die, and somehow get on a tangent about our love for Star Trek because, well, the heart wants what it wants.

Roll for initiative and grab your arcane spells — we watched Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, and we got all chaotic neutral with it.

It’s 1984 but it’s also 2023 and we’re afraid of dying and fumbling our way to survival and it’s goofy and tender with an airborne toxic event still keeping us up at night.

After a looooong hiatus, we’re (finally!) back. And we missed you. We watched Triangle of Sadness, one of the more recent iterations of the increasingly popular eat-the-rich theme, and talked all about representations of class struggle, villianizing billionaires, and the kinds of dismantling capitalism stories we wish were being made.Â
