Cabaret / Beau Travail

Life is a cabaret! Or is it? Our Pride Pics continue this week with two bangers: musical drama Cabaret (1972) directed by Bob Fosse and psychological drama Beau Travail (1999) directed by Claire Denis. Eso son Reebok o son Nike?

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. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CKjNcSUNt8]
