The thrilling conclusion of an extra long episode. Lots to say in the analysis but this movie makes it easy for us.

Surprise! We're leftists! This episode we take a look at class structure as well as its intersection with race. Kyle was slightly sick during recording so he's got a brand new voice. This episode ran extremely long so we broke it into two parts. Analysis and Pop Culture Popouts will be in part 2.

Butter: or The Low Bar for Clout in Iowa

For one family, butter sculpting and politics is their bread and butter. The butter sculpting is the bread and the politics is the butter. For another, butter sculpting makes a young foster girl melt together with her new family. Lot of Iowa-centric politics discussion in this one as well as politics at large. Sorry, not sorry.

Seems we're headed back to the UK with this one. Lots of baking to be had, and in more ways than one. This one made us very hungry for some specific foods. We also spent more time than usual on Jewish tangents. Would recommend the movie even if you are not Jewish.

Unicorn Store: or A Cute Break From Reality (with Kyra)

Is it a coming of age allegory or a coming out metaphor? Very likely both! This Netflix produced movie crammed as many unicorns and rainbows into each shot as they could. So many of these characters ended up being way more interesting than they had any right to be. Side note, this movie may very well also be evidence in a harassment suit against Gary.

We've all had that college experience where we're driving there for our first semester and on the way, you pick up a manic Greek man much older than you. Alternatively, we've all had that life experience where things aren't going our way but then you hitch a ride with a nervous art student on his way to college who definitely subscribes to r/im14andthisisdeep. Either way, your mind's gonna get a little messed with. IMDB JustWatch Pop Culture Pop Outs: Kim's Convenienceand Warhammer 40K Find Kyle

Huge Content Warning for sexual situations, some of which have dubious to no consent. Trusting Parker and Stone to talk about the porn industry is a big ask. But the 90s were a different time. We get the bizarre result from combining "Mormons" and porn. Much like real porn, most of the people kind of phone it in. But a few breakout performances really help the comedy. We also have our first ever guest come on. PSA with Sophia, Pop Culture Detective Part 1 and Part 2 IMDB JustWatch Pop Culture Pop

In A World...:or Forgetting Half the Characters' Names

2021/06/03

This movie kicks off with some real world events, the death of Don LaFontaine, a voice actor who coined the phrase "in a world..." Just about every single character has horrendous social skills. Sophia geeks out on linguistics. Kyle recites multiple filmographies. Both of us do some accent work of varying quality. A nice Sundance indie darling that is overall quite enjoyable to watch.

2021/05/20

To some, David Hasselhoff has kind of a punchable face. But for one desperate club owner, he'd go so far as to kill the Hoff. This is a pretty solid comedy with a surprising amount of themes to discuss. We also start numerous conversation threads that we do not have time to get into. Note: Sophia refers to a reference document of sources but we realized we couldn't insert that into the notes so they will be listed out individually.

We're taking a trip across the pond for this week's film. What happens when a murder suspect will only talk to a television detective? You unfortunately have to bring in the washed up actor. We take the piss out of Richard Thorncroft almost as much as the movie itself. This movie attempts to tell three stories at once and kinda falls flat. But in doing so, becomes far greater than the sum of its parts. IMDB JustWatch Pop Culture Pop Outs: Trial of the Chicago 7 and Kill James Bond Find Kyle

Liberal Arts: or Ted Mosby's Weird Jerk-Off Fantasy

Off the Film Path ·

2021/04/08

We watched an incredibly pretentious movie so you don't have to. Its the ever relatable story about going to see your old professor for his retirement party, only to end up in an uncomfortably close relationship with a college student 16 years younger. Somehow, we didn't make a single reference to Elizabeth Olsen as Wanda Maximoff but solely refer to Josh Radnor as Ted Mosby.
