In this episode, Jason, Mallory and Espo talk about movies that gave them a visceral reaction; how this year's fall movie festival season has not disappointed us in the slightest; and we finally dive into some of Espo's movie ratings and interrogate him on ones that we find just a little suspect.
Emotionally Unstable Movies: in our first segment, we talk about movies that gave us a powerful, visceral reaction. Whether they made us laugh, cry, or go into a fit of rage, they absolutely left their mark. For Espo, Silence invoked a crisis of faith; for Jason, Deep Blue Sea gave him one Hell of a sleepless night; and for Mallory, Bicentennial Man left her a sobbing mess for literal hours.
Fall Movie Festival Recap: This year's slate of fall festival movies was absolutely STACKED, and almost all of them managed to live up to people's (sometimes unjustifiably high) expectations. The gang recap these films and discuss their reactions, as well as the potentially blowback Joker may be getting before it's even released wide, and the fact that Jason feels that movie theater chains need to get over their issues with Netflix already.
Interrogation: Jason and Mallory FINALLY managed to sift through all 1 million of Espo's movie ratings in Letterboxd (OK, that's an exaggeration, but just a slight one) and came up with a handful of ones that they were suspect about. Among the discussions are if The Blair Witch Project really lived up to the hype it received at the time; if there's really that much of a difference between Rocko's Modern Life and Invader Zim; and why anyone who grew up in the '90s would even dare disrespect The Sandlot.
