– They Follow (7:28)
It was announced recently that David Robert Mitchell is reteaming with Maika Monrow to do a sequel to their 2014 horror film It Follows. When it was released nearly a decade ago, we were big fans and had a great time talking about it on the podcast. So while we were blindsided by the news, it’s fair to say that we’re excited for this one.
– Intermission Debate (19:02)
Also in the news this week, we learned that some theaters were holding their own intermissions for Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, despite the film not having a formal intermission. Some people were up in arms over this and others were adamant that people should be allowed to go pee during a movie that is three and a half hours long. We talk about why the integrity of art is important while having empathy for those who struggle to go that long without a bathroom break.
– Location Challenges (40:10)
With all of the film festivals going on, there’s a lot of conversation over the movies being premiered that will headline this year’s fall season. Many of these films haven’t been released to the public, however some critics and cinephiles have seen these movies multiple times because of their privilege and ability to travel. The best of our peers understand this privilege, but there are some who ostentatiously overlook how difficult it is for us who do not live in a major media market or have kids and are unable to travel to these festivals. So we talk about the challenges of trying to see these movies and being relevant to the film discourse happening right now.
– Sofia Coppola (1:13:26)
Sofia Coppola is one of our best filmmakers we have working today. Everything she’s done as a director has been artful, intuitive and assiduous. Her films feature great performances that depict characters that we remember and love. They’re full of rich themes and human texture. She has a style that’s as diverting as it is thoughtful. And with her new film Priscilla coming out soon, we thought it would be fun to talk about why we think she’s so spectacular.
