every day that i log into this website and no one is talking about this man stabbing another man in the throat and licking the blood off the knife and his fingernail polish changing with his murder outfits and his murder outfits being rotating unbuttoned silk shirts, wide linen pants, and crocodile shoes, and flirty fun hairstyles and too many accessories, and he color coordinates his soft gothcore color palettes with the pimp cars that he drives, and he only has a boner for (1) murder and (2) a six-something hyper masc baby boy on a cliff he blows kisses to when baby boy shoots his enemy off a giant dam with a rocket launcher, like???

249 - Love is Strange

Ahead of this week's release of Ira Sachs' Passages, we're discussing perhaps Sachs' most lauded film, 2014's Love is Strange. The film stars John Lithgow and Alfred Molina as a newly married couple forced to live apart in New York City when one of them is fired from his Catholic school job for being gay. Charting the frustrating nuances of cohabitation and the unexamined financial hardships of city life, the film is a quiet wonder filled with humane performances, including Marisa Tomei as part of the couple's social circle. Praised at Sundance and in its late summer release, the film managed to stay in conversation due to several Independent Spirit nominations, but was shut out by Oscar.

This episode, we discuss Sachs' underappreciated filmography and Molina's career rise as a trustworthy supporting player. We also discuss Lithgow's consecutive Supporting Actor nominations in the 1980s, the film's release in the year before the Obergefell ruling, and Sony Pictures Classics' busy 2014.

Topics also include Best Grownup Love Story, the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, and Asteroid City.

The Observer: Who was Muriel Box, Britain’s most prolific female film director? – Commentary

[alexa-santi-author]

This is the sometimes complicated thing about trying to be an ally. I completely understand why my Black friends are angry and upset about the Oscars, but I’m still thrilled that multiple historic wins happened for Asian Americans tonight and celebrate them with my Asian American friends.

Michelle Yeoh was the first Asian actress to be nominated in the Best Actress category. Ever. And she won. And Ke Huy Quan won. And the writer/directors won all of their categories for writing a crazy, funny, heartbreaking movie about Asian immigrants to the United States. I can’t not celebrate that, even knowing that others were left out tonight.

Remember… this story is the search for joy and hope in the face of violence and loss. We will never forget all of those lost in the heartbreaking, heartwarming, human story of that amazing city of Belfast on the fabulous island of Ireland. — Sir Kenneth Branagh, accepting the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay

215 - Beatriz at Dinner

On the eve of the return of The White Lotus, we’re taking a look at the Mike White oeuvre with returning guest Jorge Molina and 2017′s Beatriz at Dinner. Starring our beloved Salma Hayek as a holistic masseuse trapped at a toxic dinner party held by her wealthy clients, the film debuted at Sundance and was immediately viewed through the lens of our outrage and despair in the immediate aftermath of Trump’s election. The dark cringe comedy had a divisive finale but a brilliant ensemble including Connie Britton, John Lithgow, and Chloe Sevigny, with Hayek giving one of her finest performances. But the 2017 Best Actress race was highly competitive, and this summer release struggled to make an awards season comeback.

This episode, we talk about the Arteta/White partnership including White’s television output and Arteta as the quintessential journeyman director. Topics also include scrubbed John Early clips, our dreams for Hayek’s deserved awards future, and comparing Beatriz at Dinner to another 2017 film that succeeded with Oscar.

Topics also include the 2002 Best Actress nominees pitching grants, Mike White’s run on Survivor and The Amazing Race, and performing Salma in Snatch Game.
