Hello Observers! We’re back again with another big episode for you, and there’s no time like the present for big old Celebration! This episode marks one year since the website has been up and while we may not mention it, this is one of our longest and most content filled episodes yet! We’ve got a lot going on here including a not so glowing examination of Captain Marvel, a cultural examination of Crazy Rich Asians, and what kind of podcast about movies would we be if we didn’t discuss the juggernaut that is Jordan Peele’s Us. We get into the rules of Bruhl as we discuss not one, but TWO Daniel Bruhl films A most Wanted Man and Alone in Berlin. We discuss the darkness of the algorithm in Netflix’s Love, Death, and Robots. Jason does a 20 year retrospective on Office Space. Also we get in depth on the odd, yet compelling a Simple Favor where we both get bewitched and confused by the unexpected magnetism of Blake Lively (Ryan Reynolds, we totally get it now).
