Ep. 61
•
Kylie and Elliott talk about the movies they watched over the past week while searching for better cinematic dads. Along the way, they reflect on how film can capture the different volumes of life, question if Beau Is Afraid should be your first Ari Aster movie, and wonder if intermissions should come back to cinemas. Also, coming soon: Our Two-Man Saw stageplay.
This week’s movies are: Certain Women (2016), Shin Godzilla (2016), Die Hard: With A Vengeance (1995), Beau Is Afraid (2023), Saw (2004).
Check out the introduction to the Canadian true crime gem: Exhibit A.
