Real Quick? A Film Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

First Man is an excellent movie that shows the trials and tribulations faced by Neil Armstrong (and many others) relating to the moon landing and the NASA space program. Relax, the United States gets a solid suck-off, and yes you do see the flag on the Lunar surface.

Overlord is Wolfenstein come to life replete with creepy Nazi experimentation, cool action sequences, moments of tension, and a tight screenplay that stays on target (the story is told over a relatively short period of time). It was surprisingly good and I would recommend it to fans of action and horror. It is light on character (good performances), but that's to be expected with an ensemble cast in a genre picture.

Mandy is gory, beautiful, compelling, fun, and utterly bananas. It's clear that Cosmatos had a specific vision when he set out to make this flick, and his determination to create what he wanted is obvious in just about every frame. Mandy is a film of risk taking and - love him or hate him - Nick Cage is one of the great risk takers in Hollywood.

I was pumped to dive back into this episode of television, because nothing is more exciting than science fiction technology run amok. Today I talk about the bar of television being raised to the point of where some things just have to be good, and in the case of this particular episode of of TV, I talk quite a bit about the performances and the cast. Additionally, I spend some time on the way our expectations and set-up and then spun 180 degrees with clever writing and well-timed plot points. This isn't a perfect episode of television. The rules of the technology appear to be a little loose, but overall it's outstanding and a solid "love it" from me.

I wasn't sure where I wanted to go with covering Beirut, and ended up spending most of my time discussing the outrage that surrounded the trailer (and the film itself) which I had no idea existed until I actually watched and read about the movie. I talk about outrage, critical thinking, and how sometimes it is just easier to shoot a film in Morocco.

There is a moment in this flick where Ruby (Jena Malone) climbs on top of a corpse and makes out with it while masturbating. There is another scene where a mountain lion breaks into Jesse's (Elle Fanning) motel room which turns out to be a great moment of thematic foreshadowing for consumption, hunting, and predatory intent. Constant themes that play out in the film. The Neon Demon is bizarre and it will mesmerize you right up until the end credits where you will ask yourself, "What did I just watch?"

The ending of Hereditary is a crucible not just for Annie and her family, but also for the audience in that it will separate the lovers of Hereditary from those who thought it was just "okay" or those who say it was "great up until the ending", because make no mistake - things get bananas. In Real Quick fashion I don't spend much time on the plot of the film, but I do offer up a spoiler section post-credits to discuss the ending (that crucible I mentioned) which I happened to love, especially on a re-watch as the clues became more obvious. Without spoiling too much in the show notes I will simply say that I loved this movie for very specific reasons which will be revealed to you by the end of the podcast. Thanks again for tuning in and we will see you next time for The Neon Demon.

Upgrade was a pleasant surprise and although the trailer shows a bit of levity in the film (Grey joking around with Stem) the movie has a very serious and heavy tone. If you're into lean science fiction that isn't too 'out there' vis-à-vis planet hopping or alien invasion stuff, you'll dig it. It fees like a Neil Stephenson or William Gibson novel come to life (read: cyberpunk) and I love that sub-genre of sci-fi - especially when you keep the narrative tight and simple. My verdict: check it out, you won't be disappointed.

Reverend Toller (Hawke) is experiencing a crisis of faith and has been since the death of his son in Iraq. The narrative flirts with balancing destructive and creative forces, and it also gets into hypocrisy and our inability to think critically when compromised emotionally. First Reformed didn't play out exactly like I though it would but it did present some interesting ideas to consider. The idea of balancing hope and despair (read: wisdom) against a world of extremes. The Michael character introduces some environmental extremism (global activism) into the narrative that wasn't exactly expected, but it seems to serve the film despite - at times - being a bit preachy (pun intended). Plenty of meat on the bone, and in this episode - like Red Sparrow - I made a decision not to spoil the ending as it is largely interpretive. I'd say it is worth the watch.

I went into Red Sparrow with all the normal expectations: Jennifer Lawrence running around naked, neck snaps, the whole Russian aesthetic thing, and of course cloak and dagger spy-craft. I was aware of the baggage (from social media) surrounding Jennifer Lawrence's decisions to take part in a film that has moments of extreme sexual violence, but I never felt like it was a gimmick or a cheap storytelling device ala the slaughtering of nude camp counselors in the 80s. Although the run-time is a bit up there (2 hours and 20 minutes) Red Sparrow is worth a watch.
