Commonplace Commentary: Sweet Tooth Season One, Episode Six ft. Special Guest Agnes

Join me and my good, goodly bud Agnes as we go on the emotional rollercoaster that is the sixth episode of one of the finest adventure series in recent years, Sweet Tooth. So much heart, so well crafted and acted, Sweet Tooth was an unsung hero of the P*ndemic Era streaming landscape. Which the new season dropping this week (to deservedly boffo ratings and acclaim), I thought now was a good a time as any to finally drop this episode which had been collecting dust on my hard drive for over two years. Agnes was an amazingly good time and maybe she'll be kind enough to visit again!

Commonplace Commentary; In The Mood For Love

I feel like universally acclaimed movies are ordinary easy pickin's in the review business. But in preparation for a rewatch of Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022), I've decided to watch a few movies that I hadn't and which were tangentially related to EEAAO, and Wong Kar-wai's In the Mood For Love (2000) fits that bill. Not only does EEAAO pay homage to this film in a few scenes, but Ke Huy Quan worked for Wong behind the camera on a number of projects. Overall, I'm hoping to gain a greater context and appreciation for one of my favorite pictures of 2022.

Commonplace Commentary: The Menu 2022

So so, pleasantly surprised my assumptions were wrong about this one. As always, I'd recommend having watched the movie previous to playing this commentary, but you're free to do you.

The Chainsaw Man: Season One Episode One

And we're back after a brief hiatus. Nice to be back.

Commonplace Commentary: Don't Look Up (2021)

I had some fun with this one. McKay does a great job balancing anxiety with absurdity, the musical cues are masterful, and the performances decent. The final scene really got me, it made the entire movie worth it.
