  • Triple CROSS

    34:52|
    Has James Patterson already used TRIPLE CROSS as the title of one of his dozens of Alex Cross novels? We don't know. If not, Mr. Patterson, it's all yours. On this episode of LOW KEY we talk about DC cop/psychologist Alex Cross, played in the new Amazon Prime series CROSS by the always good Aldis Hodge. We think it has crossover appeal.
  • Woman of the Hour: How to Not Be Like a Serial Killer

    44:49|
    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.

    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.

  • The Problem With Every Godzilla Movie

    51:16|
    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.
  • Seeing Both Sides With The Sympathizer

    44:36|
    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.
