Friday night's movie #1 on The Last Drive-In...
Troma's War
Movie #2...
One Cut Of The Dead
I have been curious about that one for years considering how controversial it is and how much Disney wants you to forget about itYeah, they were certainly "of their time". Also, tread lightly if you decide to give Songs of The South a go. That one is certainly problematic. Zip-a-dee-doo-dah indeed!
Primer....Watching the movie Dragon Heart for the first time in 20 years or so.
Picked it up on iTunes for $4.99.
Next up: Robin Hood: Prince of Theives.
Primer....
After watching Prince of Thieves you need to break out some Robin Hood: Men In Tights
There's a miniseries on the movie they just did on You Must Remember This; I'd recommend it. It gives a pretty strong impression of what the movie's about and what's so messed-up about it. It sounds like the movie is backwards in its perspective and the politics it hints at, while the content itself is generic Disney shmaltz. It sounds like racist-grandparent-level offensive, where they're never out-and-out saying something you can put your finger on and reprimand, but you're definitely going to have to sit the kids down and explain why this shit didn't really fly in the mid-20th century, let alone in 2020.I have been curious about that one for years considering how controversial it is and how much Disney wants you to forget about it
I’ve never listened to that podcast but that sounds interesting. I’ve been distracting myself with even more podcasts lately so this will fit right in.There's a miniseries on the movie they just did on You Must Remember This; I'd recommend it.

Really? Why? I like them both. I really enjoy Paul on HDTGM too and when he’s a guest on other shows. Amy is good too, but maybe sometimes I don’t find myself agreeing with certain points of view or opinions she has. But I don’t mind that.I was listening to this for a while, but eventually I had to admit to myself that I just can’t stand Amy.
edit: Paul can be obnoxious too, but I had mostly made my peace with him from HDTGM. The two of them without a Jason or a June, though? Couldn’t take it.
Check out the Manson series as well; it was my intro to the podcast and an all-timer.I’ve never listened to that podcast but that sounds interesting. I’ve been distracting myself with even more podcasts lately so this will fit right in.
I get more disappointed in some HDTGM episodes than Unspooled. But they’re still so light and fun that I don’t hate them. It’s mostly some of their picks for movies just aren’t that interesting.I don’t know what it is exactly. There’s nothing wrong with her as a person, there’s just something about her presenter voice that sounds very affected and insincere to me. Like she’s trying to match Paul’s energy but it doesn’t sound natural. Plus I didn’t feel like I was getting much insight from them on these films that I couldn’t get from the IMDb trivia page. Sometimes HDTGM is like that too, but at least there’s jokes in between.
