2018/02/28

The divide between East and West is meaningless when you're an angel. You can come and go, observing humanity throughout the course of eternity... until the day you decide you want to become one of them. This one is the classic German film of an angel who decides to give up eternity for a chance at love and humanity: Wings of Desire (Der Himmel über Berlin).

Victor Laszlo believes in freedom. Ilsa believes in Victor. Rick believed in his love for Ilsa. We wanted to believe that Rick and Ilsa didn't "get together" in that one scene because it just makes other conversations awkward later. Mostly, though, we want you to believe that the hype is real. Casablanca is one of the greatest movies ever made and we celebrate its 75th anniversary by taking a look back at this classic cinematic masterpiece.

I believe strikeouts are fascist. I believe she's got a mind for business and a bod for sin. I believe Solo will be fun, but Cloverfield Paradox was bad. I believe in three guys talking movies from the 80s in a podcast that lasts for a couple of hours. I believe we're talking about Bull Durham and Working Girl.

2017/10/18

You see what I did there? It's called PRINCE of Darkness and the visions from the future take place in 1999, so it's like the song "1999 (Party Like It's 1999)" by Prince. Right? Shut up. Anyway, apparently Jesus was an alien who started a secret society 2,000 years ago which became the Catholic Church and kept the secret that what we thought was God was really the Anti-god and is evil and his son (the Prince of Darkness) was contained within a canister of ectoplasm for 2,000 years.
