#434: Full House, Pt. 2 — Janet Planet 1:00:52

11h ago1:00:52

1:00:52

Pulitzer-winning playwright Annie Baker’s filmmaking debut JANET PLANET is sort of a dual coming-of-age story, centering a young girl’s fascination with her single mother who is still figuring out her own place in the world. But it also resists broad statements and neat conclusions, giving us space to unpack our own interpretations of the emotional…

#433: Full House, Pt. 1 — Together (2000) 59:20

5d ago59:20

59:20

The new JANET PLANET follows a young girl who comes to see the world differently thanks to a succession of people her hippyish single mother brings into their lives, and more specifically into the home they share. Its sense of the fraught sense of intimacy that accompanies cohabitation by family members and lovers brought to mind Lukas Moodysson’s …

#432: Pixar's Girl Story, Pt. 2 — Inside Out 2 1:18:56

19d ago1:18:56

1:18:56

When thinking of a film to pair with INSIDE OUT 2, we purposefully avoided the new Pixar sequel’s 2015 original because the two are so of a piece, delving into the contrasts between them seemed too much like nitpicking. Still, we attempt to make fruitful discussion out of those nitpicks in this week’s conversation about the new film, and perhaps ev…

#431: Pixar's Girl Story, Pt. 1 — Brave 1:12:34

21d ago1:12:34

1:12:34

INSIDE OUT 2 is quite literally built around the emotional experience of being a young girl, but it wasn’t too long ago that this was uncharted territory for Pixar. That’s why rather than comparing the animation studio’s latest sequel to the original, we’re reaching a little further back in the filmography to revisit its first attempt to tell a sto…

#430: Road Warriors, Pt. 2: Furiosa 1:04:11

1M ago1:04:11

1:04:11

The new FURIOSA functions as both a prequel and a sequel within the larger mythology of the MAD MAX franchise, and we’re looking at it from both of those angles this week. First, we talk over why George Miller’s latest might have flopped at the box office (prequel fatigue) and why it feels poised to overcome that reputation in due time (it is the r…

#429: Road Warriors, Pt. 1: Mad Max (1979) 1:02:39

1M ago1:02:39

1:02:39

There’s a lot of narrative road between 1979’s MAD MAX and the new FURIOSA, but in pursuing George Miller’s decades-spanning franchise back to its starting line, we uncover a lot about what fuels this saga beyond the big, loud cars. For example, there are also big, loud motorcycles. But more importantly, there’s a healthy skepticism toward revenge …

1M ago1:11:22

1:11:22

Jane Schoenburn’s I SAW THE TV GLOW is a film whose cultural reference points tend to take the form of vibes more than direct nods. But the writer-director's stated inspiration point in DONNIE DARKO can be seen on both the surface — the recent-past suburban setting, the teenage outcasts struggling to relate to the world around them — and on a deepe…
