Low Key

Woman of the Hour starts out with a deliciously trash concept: a woman (Anna Kendrick) goes on a dating show where one of the three bachelors is a serial killer. But it takes a serious turn when almost every man in sight fails as a human being — except for George Elliott. We talk this episode about how to be a real man.

No cute hook here. This is just an awesome movie.

We discuss the new City of God: The Fight Rages On, a series sequel to the iconic 2002 film about violent kids growing up in the desperate slums of Rio De Janeiro. The kids are all grown up, and some are actually doing OK — at least in the pilot.

This week we talk about HIT MAN, which Richard Linklater and Glen Powell wrote together, and which Linklater directs and Powell stars in. We also reference Quentin Tarantino saying Linklater's DAZED AND CONFUSED, released more than 30 years ago, is a great hang — and whether HIT MAN is, too.

We have a multitude of opinions about Godzilla Minus One, which has been pretty much universally praised. Also, Aaron explains the Act 3 problem that plagues every Godzilla movie.And we scold the critics for being scolds.

In keeping we the two sides seen by the protagonist of The Sympathizer, we offer the second of our two episodes this week. The Sympathizer is a brilliant absurdist nightmare. Marlon Brando fans may be especially intrigued.
