343 - White Noise (Festival Fever!)

Festival Fever comes to an end this week with a look at the last major film festival of the year, the New York Film Festival. In 2022, Noah Baumbach follow-up up his biggest Oscar success, Marriage Story, by tackling Don DeLillo's unadaptable novel White Noise. The satire stars Adam Driver as the leading professor in "Hitler studies" whose family faces chaos and confusion from a cataclysmic disaster known as the Airborne Toxic Event. Prestigiously opening NYFF (after also opening Venice), the film left many scratching their heads.

This episode, we talk about our hopes for Baumbach's upcoming Jay Kelly and the history of NYFF openers. We also talk about the film's closing sequence set to LCD Soundsystem, Greta Gerwig's acting return in the film, and the film's large budget.

Topics also include 2022 Original Song, Little Hugs (which we incorrectly call Huggies), and the film's production design.

Movie Spotlight: Four Brothers (2005)

If you're in the mood for an action-packed thriller with a strong emotional core, look no further than Four Brothers (2005). Directed by John Singleton, this film brings together an incredible cast, including Mark Wahlberg, Tyrese Gibson, André Benjamin, and Garrett Hedlund, as four adopted brothers on a mission to avenge their foster mother's murder.

The story kicks off with the tragic death of Evelyn Mercer (Fionnula Flanagan), who is gunned down in a convenience store. Her four sons, Bobby (Wahlberg), Angel (Gibson), Jeremiah (Benjamin), and Jack (Hedlund), reunite in Detroit to uncover the truth behind her death. As they dig deeper, they find themselves entangled in a web of corruption and deceit, leading them to a powerful criminal kingpin, Victor Sweet (Chiwetel Ejiofor).

Why You Should Watch

-Strong Performances: The chemistry between the four leads is undeniable, and their performances add depth to their characters. Mark Wahlberg shines as the hot-headed Bobby, while Tyrese Gibson brings charm as the smooth-talking Angel.

-Intense Action: From thrilling shootouts to high-speed car chases, the film keeps you on the edge of your seat with its action sequences.

-Emotional Depth: Beyond the action, the movie explores the bond between the brothers and their quest for justice, adding an emotional layer to the story.

Things To Consider

-Predictable Plot: The revenge narrative may feel familiar to some viewers, but the execution makes it worth watching.

-Violence: The film's heavy reliance on violence and vigilante justice might not be for everyone.

Overall, Four Brothers is a gripping and emotionally charged film that delivers a satisfying blend of action and drama. If you're a fan of the genre, this movie is definitely worth a watch!
