Crime & Heist Films

The Invite

After the success of her brilliant feature directorial debut Booksmart in 2019, actor-writer-director Olivia Wilde faced tougher times with her follow-up, Don’t Worry Darling (2022), which was eclipsed by the PR nonsense around her affair with Harry Styles (honestly, good for her), Florence Pugh’s moralizing, and ex Jason Sudeikis’ petty antics. Now, Wilde is back, and better than ever, in her new, surprising and fantastic film, The Invite. Join me and Joey as they parse this very special evening amongst neighbors, with a few references alive and well as the drama unfolds.

Disclosure Day

Disclosure Day is the long-anticipated new blockbuster by one of the greatest directors of all time, Steven Spielberg, who brought us Jaws, Jurassic Park and Saving Private Ryan. Emily Blunt is tongue-tied in the teaser and trailer, which indicate an otherworldly presence is already here. Will this be classic Spielberg? Or another retread of long-told tropes of UFOs and conspiracies? Let’s see what he means.

Crime & Heist Films

We all love a heist, and watching one unfold on screen is one of the oldest traditions in Hollywood. In this special episode, we look back at over 50 years of crime and heists in cinema, what drives the robbers and cops alike, and what role poses the most risk in a crew.

I Love Boosters

“People don’t want to be the art – they want to be the artist.” We’d be hard-pressed to find another living artist with as much imagination and slapstick genius as Boots Riley, the Oakland multimedia artist and political provocateur behind the 2018 hit Sorry to Bother You. A band of fashion thieves (“boosters”) take revenge on an evil queen designer, and no color in the rainbow is left out.
