We were so excited to see Primetime in theaters last weekend! On this week’s episode of the podcast, we give our review on that film and review a couple other films where men are going off the rails. There was also the announcement Zach Cregger’s new project, The Flood, will star Jennifer Lawrence. We’ve heard that Cregger is really passionate about this film, and we look forward to Lawrence in a sci-fi thriller.
Everyone has been talking about Robert Pattinson’s performance in Primetime, and we finally got to see it for ourselves. We thought he did a great job of portraying Chris Hansen and slowly becoming more and more unhinged as the film goes on. The overall look of Primetime really embodied the early 2000s and almost felt dream-like. Merritt Weaver and Skyler Gisondo also give really memorable performances and enhance the film as a whole. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to read the original article this film is based on since we don’t have a Variety subscription, but we did some other research which we discuss parallel to the film adaptation. A Clockwork Orange is a controversial film from 1971. While there are many disturbing scenes, we felt Stanley Kubrick’s world building was really impressive. The plot of the film is also really thought provoking, and Hannah said the book was even more so. American Psycho is another film that has some rough scenes, but the performances keep you coming back for more. Christian Bale is perfectly cast as Patrick Bateman because he’s handsome, charismatic, and at times, scary. This is another film where we’re interested in reading the book! Finally, we have Joker. There’s no denying that Joaquin Phoenix gives a dedicated performance, but the mental health struggles depicted in the film left us feeling really upset. We enjoyed the first 2/3s of this one, but the final third really lost us.
