62 - Jane Campion - Two Friends (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Annie and Ryan embark on their first big filmography in a while! In this episode, Annie argues for a film she's not a fan of and Ryan argues against a film he likes. It just worked out that way.
61 - David Robert Mitchell - The End of Oak Street (opens the original)
Read excerpt
New film still in theaters to see, a filmography to wrap up, awards to give, and the next director to still announce. All kinds of things this week! Check it out inside!
60 - David Robert Mitchell - Under the Silver Lake (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Annie and Ryan dive into the weird world of conspiracies and neo-noir-isms that have slowly made Mitchell's third work into something of a cult hit. Will the strange nonsense work for our duo or will they wish things stayed a little more accessible?
59 - David Robert Mitchell - It Follows (opens the original)

The most mainstream film in a while! Ryan and Annie debate whether Ryan's criticisms and confusions are reasonable or misguided as he attempts to make sense of something he just can't quite wrap his head around.

Read excerpt
Ryan and Annie get confronted with a strange, silly world of teenage shenanigans and can't help but laugh along.
