Film Colossus – Détails, épisodes et analyse

This week, we traverse the psychological labyrinth known as: The Silence of the Lambs. We revisit this classic thriller and discuss its contents, finding a narrative in Clarice’s struggle to move on, to form an identity outside her trauma, to endure the psychiatric exercises of the one and only Hannibal Lecter.

This week, we delve into one of the most confounding movies ever: Synecdoche, New York. And we’re here to say the movie, while surreal and outlandish and subversive, is actually much simpler than it seems. We go down a strange path trying to put Charlie Kaufman’s bizarre movie into words—join us.

This week, we explore the brazen and bizarre Oscar winner: Poor Things. We react to Yorgos Lanthimos’ drastic changes in aesthetic and discuss how his focus on a single character allows the film to flourish and the ideology to coalesce like never before in his filmography.

This week, we recap the 96th Academy Awards—our favorite moments, the worst moments, and which people should and shouldn’t have taken home the golden statue. We talk a lot about Wikipedia mods. Yes we have complaints about the In Memoriam. And no we still don't like Oppenheimer. Have fun!

This week, we dive headfirst into what is currently the cinematic event of the century: Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two. We discuss both the good and the bad of this landmark series, with Chris praising Villeneuve’s take on the classic novel and Travis being his usual contrarian self.

This week, we celebrate Dune—no, not that Dune. We’re talking about that old polarizing one that David Lynch directed. We discuss everything that’s keeping 1984’s Dune from achieving Frank Herbert’s ultimate intent with the novel, as well as the idiosyncrasies that allow Lynch’s existential tale about the self to shine in enigmatic, bizarrely beautiful ways.

This week, we navigate through the insane terrain of Oliver Stone’s masterpiece: Any Given Sunday. We observe how perhaps the greatest football movie ever made actually serves as a metaphor for America’s story, for the angst and isolation—and, ultimately, the progression—that results from generational differences and constant change.

This week, we enjoy a double feature from the great horror auteur Ti West: Pearl and X. We debate the effectiveness of Pearl’s warped character study in the first film and explore the depths of the latter’s sociological observations. All in all, it’s a bloody good time!

This week, we break down one of those movies that continues to confuse people to this day: American Psycho. We show how the movie’s core concepts and satiric approach can help make sense of and contextualize what, on the surface, appears to be an indecipherable movie.

This week, we give our reactions to the 2024 Oscar nominations. Chris is nice and gives praise where praise is due, while Travis mostly complains because the dumb movies he likes don’t get any love from the Academy. Plus we give our predictions for each category!
