SNYDER CUT: The Journey Begins - Batman v. Superman...

Slow Motion Triple Feature ·

2021/03/29

Beware the ides of March, or thereabouts! The Snyder Cut cometh, and we're marking the end of cinema as we know it with the movie-watching equivalent of the Barkley Marathons. Up first it's Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, the three-hour Ultimate Edition. As for the three-hour Ultimate Edition of this podcast, is it real? Does it exist? Of course it does. You think Kit took eight pages of notes about this movie and then didn't recite every last banal word? Ball's in your court, Andrew

27) Reign of the Supermen Pt. III - Man of Steel (2013)

Kit here again. I’ve never had a real dark night of the soul. I’ve never done ayahuasca. I’ve never danced with the devil in the pale moonlight. But I’ve seen Man of Steel. I have been lost in its labyrinth of inanity. I have let it tear my psyche down to the studs. I have bought its counterfeit screenplay on eBay. If kryptonite was a movie, it would be Man of Steel. And yet I am better for having seen it. A man can’t know who she really is until she’s lost everything. Man of Steel took away all

Kevin Spacey and Bryan Singer walk onto a yacht. No, it’s not a New York Post headline from 2018, it’s Superman Returns! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s…two alleged pedophiles! But seriously, folks, this movie is not good, and yet Andrew has seen it ten times, Mike would still rather watch it than Avengers: Checkmate or whatever the hell it’s called, and, much like Bryan Singer and a vulnerable child, Kit can get behind a Superman movie where Superman doesn’t really fly or save anybody or do

2021/03/10

Kit here. Guys, it’s triples like this that get me out of bed in the morning. The year of our Lord 2020 will go down in history for many things, many terrible things. But to me it will always be the year I broke my brain watching three different Supermen. To paraphrase Tolstoy, all Marvel movies are alike, but every Superman movie fucks up Superman in its own way. Fasten your weird, yellow panty belts because this one is going to break the sound barrier.

24) Secret Successes PT. III - The Lone Ranger (2013)

Slow Motion Triple Feature ·

2021/03/03

Hollywood is a fickle mistress. One day your gay pirate zombie flick is saving Disney, the next you’re handed a life sentence in movie jail because your $250 million fantasy Western somehow didn’t make a billion at the box office. Do we spend this entire episode listing the film’s flaws? Yes. Do we all agree you should still watch it? Yes.

23) Secret Successes PT. II - Vampire's Kiss (1988)

Slow Motion Triple Feature ·

2021/02/23

Kit argues that this Cage classic is far more than a font of memes, and the team question Hollywood’s borderline fascist devotion to Stanislavski. Oh, sorry, I must have missed the book of the Bible that declares us all slaves to realism! To quote this fantastic film, "shut up, bitch."

22) Secret Successes PT. I - Sleepaway Camp (1983)

Slow Motion Triple Feature ·

2021/02/16

Kit makes her unironic case for this cogent exploration of the agonies of gender. Will having seen only a handful of horror movies in her lifetime stop her from declaring this film’s ending the greatest in slasher history? (Spoiler: it won’t.)

Ground control to Major…Fun?* This week we blast off on one of the two features David Bowie’s son made before Warcraft snuffed out a promising career.

Also, surprise, surprise, Kit can’t follow the movie. * This movie is actually very sad.
