Margaret

Ed Wood / Being John Malkovich

Happy Pride Month Watchers!! This week's pride pics were Ed Wood (1994) directed by Tim Burton and Being John Malkovich (1999) directed by Spike Jonze. Identity issues galore! Is the human experience inherently lonely or is that specific to men? Fetishes! Being Jesse Plemons? Is this anything? Plus: a not-so-brief intro about Curry Barker's Obsession!

Se7en

This week's Rick's Pick is Se7en (1995) directed by David Fincher. DETECTIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Margaret

This week's Lane's Frame is Margaret (2011) directed by Kenneth Lonergan! You think this movie is about a bus crash but really it's about a trainwreck. We go long about the depth of this movie's characters and compare it to every single Mike Leigh film we've covered. Plus: Ricky prepares a little game!

The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover

This week's Rick's Pick is The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover (1989) directed by Peter Greenaway! We both come to this movie a little cooler than Drowning by Numbers, but don't worry: Ricky spends a looong time talking about vore. Plus: a little game.

The Insider

The cat, TOTALLY out of the bag: it's The Insider (1999) directed by Michael Mann! We open this week's Lane Frame with a loooong digression about Taco Bell and breakfast foods before getting into Mann's oeuvre. We chat about his use of color, the effectiveness of the camerawork, and Al Pacino's energy levels. Plus: Ricky tries to explain some internet shit to me and I still don't understand it tbh. Hopefully you do, WWWatchers.
