Deadpool 2

The Actor and The Engineer Podcast ·

2018/05/28

This week we catch up on what we were watching and talk about yet another superhero movie. This one is Deadpool, though, so it's more than just a superhero movie. They somehow found a way to stay true to the Deadpool ethos by subverting the genre that they are a part of, in a gloriously vulgar way! It's their Basic Instinct!

Avengers: Infinity War

The Actor and The Engineer Podcast ·

2018/05/18

This week we finally talk about the biggest movie of the year, what we liked and a couple of things that rubbed each of us the wrong way. Just the fact that this behemoth (with 20 or so main characters) is coherent is something to be praised.

Ready Player One

The Actor and The Engineer Podcast ·

2018/04/14

This week we talk about how Spielberg adapted Ernest Cline's best-selling novel that celebrates pop culture from the 80's into a popcorn movie for the 2010's. Josh read the book and Paul didn't, so we are able to come at it from different angles.

Merchant Ivory: A Room With A View and Howards End

The Actor and The Engineer Podcast ·

2018/03/28

We look back at two films that are commonly referred to as "Merchant Ivory" pictures. From the same writer/director/producer team and both based on novels by E.M. Forster, the commonalities don't stop there. Join us as we both experience these movies that might not have been on the top of our "to watch" list and see what we get out of them.

The Killing of a Sacred Deer

The Actor and The Engineer Podcast ·

2018/02/15

Yorgooos!! He has done it again. Created an odd world that makes you uncomfortable in its realness. It is begging to be picked apart and talked about. This movie about a surgeon, his family and a boy who lost his father may not be for everyone, but has much more to it than many recent movies.
