MARRY ME, NIGHTMARE ALLEY, and ENCANTO on Episode #396

Jennifer Lopez as Kat Valdez and Owen Wilson as Charlie Gilbert in Kat Coiro's rom-com MARRY ME.

We start the show by offering our brief reactions to this year’s Oscar nominations, which were released this week. After that we review Disney’s ENCANTO (6:39), a heartwarming animated tale about a magical Colombian family, which features incredible songs by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Next, we dig into Guillermo del Toro’s stylish, yet long film noir NIGHTMARE ALLEY (25:44), which has us split. Then we discuss Kat Coiro’s delightful rom-com MARRY ME (40:09), a film about nice things happening to nice people, starring Jennifer Lopez and Owen Wilson. And in this week’s Patreon exclusive audio, we talk about Greg Berlanti’s 2018 queer teen rom-com, LOVE, SIMON!

TERMINATOR: DARK FATE, HARRIET, and MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN on Episode #277

Natalia Reyes, Mackenzie Davis, and Linda Hamilton pose defiantly in the movie Terminator: Dark Fate

Before the movies this week Megan and Dave have some questions about an unusual item on Evan’s desk. With their curiosity satisfied, Megan reviews HARRIET (3:58), the epic Harriet Tubman biopic starring the very talented, yet slightly controversial Cynthia Erivo. Next she and Dave cover MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN (20:36), the Edward Norton noir with modern parallels that deserves a better director. Then they all have a blast discussing TERMINATOR: DARK FATE (40:02), the best film in the franchise since T2, because it finally gets what the others were missing: Linda Hamilton.

SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR and IF I STAY on Episode #6

 -f6334d9c-b1bb-490f-821e-89ec7f544754

Kris and Evan shower appreciation on Frank Miller and Robert Rodriguez’s SIN CITY: A DAME TO KILL FOR while Dave hates it (loudly). There’s also some talk of IF I STAY, the few things it gets right, and the one billion things it gets wrong. Plus, the guys get into a tangent on Quentin Tarantino (the word “masturbatory” is used more than once).
