But Is It Good?

This week, we're venturing into the strange and intriguing world of Kinds of Kindness! From the delightfully unconventional mind of Yorgos Lanthimos, this latest film features a stellar cast, including Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, and Hong Chau. In this unique story, we find ourselves in a society where acts of kindness come with unexpected and often unsettling consequences. Lanthimos, known for his offbeat and thought-provoking narratives, crafts a tale that blends dark humor with a sharp critique of societal norms. As the characters navigate their increasingly bizarre and morally complex world, the true nature of kindness—and its hidden costs—comes to light. Join us as we unravel the layers of this unconventional film and explore Lanthimos’s signature blend of absurdity and insight. Does Kinds of Kindness manage to captivate with its unique vision, or does it get lost in its own eccentricity? And amid the darkly comedic twists and profound observations, we ask… But Is Kinds of Kindness Good?If you'd like to suggest a film or film franchise, or if you'd just like to say hello, you can reach us at biigpodcast@gmail.com, @biigpodcast on Twitter, or @butisitgoodpodcast on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube!

This week, we’re breaking the fourth wall and diving into the irreverent world of Deadpool (2016)! Directed by Tim Miller and starring Ryan Reynolds, this R-rated superhero romp follows Wade Wilson, a former Special Forces operative who becomes the wisecracking antihero known as Deadpool after undergoing an experimental procedure.

This week we are reviewing Lee Isaac Chung’s Twisters! Starring Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell, and Anthony Ramos, this sequel that feels like a remake (or as we like to say, requel) follows an up-and-coming stormchaser eager to make a difference.

This week we continue our little impromptu Yorgos Lanthimos with 2018s The Favourite! Starring Olivia Colma, Emma Stone, and Rachel Weisz, this film follows the battle between cousins Sarah Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough and Abigail Hill for the favor of the queen, Anne. Loosely (and we mean loosely) based on historical events, this film is a raucously funny period piece driven by its' three female leads. But many questions remain! Is Sarah Churchill, Duchess of Marlborough the heiress of the Marlboro cigarette fortune (Not a sponsor)? (Also, no. We already know the answer to that question - it is no.) How does one treat gout in 18th century Great Britain? (Raw meat, apparently) But...

This week (after a week delay - sorry LOL Hunter got sick and then Zach got sick) we're diving into the newest addition to the Mad Max Saga - "Furious." More accurately, we're having a debate where Zach convinced Hunter that he should care about this movie, and Hunter tries to convince Zach that just because he didn't care, doesn't mean that it wasn't good. Anyway, so there's that. Also we ask the question...But is Furiosa good?
