Ep 69 – Zack Snyder’s Justice League AKA The Snydercut (2021) with Angus MacDonald and Matt Barrow

“There Are Six, Not Five. There Is No Us Without Him.”

The Snydercut is one of the weirdest things to happen in film in a long time. The Justice League came out in 2017 which was finished by another director and had a sub-par reception to it upon it’s release. Since then, the internet and even cast members were demanding the big studios to help realize Zack Snyder’s original vision of this movie with #ReleasetheSnyderCut. With enough persistence and whining, the internet finally got it’s way and the people actually got a new cut of this movie. So join Tuong, Matt Barrow, and Angus Macdonald as they watch over four hours of brooding and a lot of ideas crammed into one thing as they talk about Zack Snyder’s Justice League!

“Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger! Can I take your order?”

Hey look, moves in the 90’s were weird. But they were also wonderful because sometimes an idea is so bananas that it wouldn’t work in today’s world of cinema. That’s why on this week’s episode, Tuong and Alli “Mondo Burger” Harris take a look at this very special moment in movie history and watch the classic Nickelodean film about fast food rivalry and “being a dude” – Good Burger!

Ep 65 – The Platform (2019) – with Jesse Bergen

“There are three types of people: Those at the top, those at the bottom, and those who fall.”

There have been many films that have tried to provide social commentary on status and class in such a way that it’s almost become it’s own sub-genre of movies. And while Parasite has popularized this sub genre in such a way that it set up a very a high bar for movies to follow, there is still room for these types of movies to say something new to add to the conversation. This week join Tuong La and The Insatiable Jesse Bergen as they brace their appetites talking about the Spanish Thriller film about a vertical platform, hunger, and the most ill-conceived prison system – Netflix’s The Platform!

Ep 62 – Dope (2015) with Stenley Philippe

“Why do I want to attend Harvard? If I was white, would you even have to ask me that question?”

Geeky kids. A party gone wrong. Geeky kids are forced into a life or death situation involving drugs. These are all beats from thousands of other movies that we’ve seen before. So is it possible to have a unique perspective with these well worn tropes? Short answer: YES! This week join Tuong and special guest Stenley Philippe as they discuss Rick Famuyiwa’s Comedy/Drama drug-filled adventure – Dope (2015)!
