The Bride! / Marty Supreme / Frankenstein

Pete! and Trevor! took a trip to see Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride! starring Jessie Buckley (The Bride / Ida / Mary Shelley), Christian Bale (Frank / Frankenstein’s Monster), Annette Bening (Dr. Euphronius), Peter Sarsgaard (Jake Wiles), Penélope Cruz (Myrna Mallow), and Jake Gyllenhaal (Ronnie Reed). Listen for our immediate reactions after leaving the theatre. If you think you know what this movie is like, you are wrong. We also wrapped up our Project Oscars with a discussion of Marty Supreme (Josh Safdie (Director), Timothée Chalamet, Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A’zion, Kevin O’Leary, Tyler Okonma, Abel Ferrara, Fran Drescher) and Frankenstein (Guillermo del Toro (Director), Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth).

Hamnet / The Secret Agent / Train Dreams

As Oscar season is dwindling to a close, Pete and Trevor narrow their focus on three Best Picture nominees: Train Dreams (directed by Clint Bentley, starring Joel Edgerton, Felicity Jones), The Secret Agent (directed by Kleber Mendonça Filho, starring Wagner Moura), and Hamnet (directed by Chloé Zhao, starring Jessie Buckley, Paul Mescal). For our feature Hamnet, we provide our immediate reactions after watching the film. Spoiler alert: this movie is a powerhouse of sadness. Next week we cover The Bride and finish our Oscar project with recaps of Frankenstein and Marty Supreme.

Wuthering Heights

Pete and Trevor crossed the misty moors, while making many stylish costume changes, to see Wuthering Heights. Emerald Fennell’s third feature, starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi as Catherine and Heathcliff, will likely be as divisive as her previous film Saltburn. Listen in to hear our immediate reactions after leaving the theatre to find out which side we fall on. This also marked our third entry in our ongoing Project Oscar Part 2, where we cover every film nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards. This week we covered F1 (directed by Joseph Kosinski, starring Brad Pitt, Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem) and Bugonia (directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, starring Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons). Next week we will be covering The Secret Agent and Train Dreams. Project Oscars: 09:58 Withering Heights Review: 25:37 Spoilers: 41:00

Sentimental Value

Pete and Trevor ditch their third co-host, a car which is really more like a character, for Pete’s basement, which again, is more like a character…to watch Sentimental Value. Directed by Joachim Trier, the Norwegian Neon-financed family drama took Cannes by storm, eventually resulting in racking up several Oscar nominations, including for Best Picture, Best Director, and acting noms for its entire main cast (Renate Reinsve, Stellan Skarsgård, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, and Elle Fanning).
