1 'Little Women' (1994) vs. 'Little Women' (2019) | Patreon #44 23:45
23:45 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked23:45
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedKelsi and Trey dive into the coming of age world of Little Women , comparing Gillian Armstrong’s beloved 1994 adaptation with Greta Gerwig’s 2019 reimagining. We unpack how each version interprets Louisa May Alcott’s classic novel, from Armstrong’s heartfelt, linear approach that leans into nostalgia and emotional honesty to Gerwig’s two-timeline structure, which reframes the story as a reflection on memory, ambition, and the relationship between commerce and art. We also explore the performances—Winona Ryder’s fiery Jo versus Saoirse Ronan’s restless, modern take—and debate Laurie’s evolution, Amy’s redemption arc, and how both films portray love, art, and community.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedKelsi and Trey dive deep into the recent rise of Timothée Chalamet, examining his recent work in 2024, including his transformative performance in A Complete Unknown. Chalamet completely immerses himself into his version of Bob Dylan, but the direction of James Mangold holds him back from ever fully capturing the political anger of this enigmatic artist. While we really enjoyed ourselves, we wanted something a bit more...radical! YouTube review on its way.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedKelsi and Trey dive deep into Robert Eggers' highly anticipated Nosferatu remake. While Eggers' signature atmospheric style is on full display, we explore whether the film’s haunting visuals and slow-burn tension are enough to overcome its often uninteresting narrative. We debate whether its a brilliant reimagining of a classic, or if the film leaves viewers wanting more absurdity and textual depth.

They explore Washington's portrayal of Detective Alonzo Harris, a cartoonish villain elevated by Washington's charisma and command. We also explore Washington's career, highlighting his versatility across his very-different eras, examining how Training Day fits into his filmography. While Training Day is a propulsive movie, and Washington is undeniably compelling, we also touch on why this film has a complicated legacy for a variety of reasons.
