Travis Bickle On The Riviera

Celia and Tucker get together so Celia can hear Tucker's LUKEWARM PRAISE for the big movies and his BOUGHT THE HYPE hustle for the overrated indie picture. Can this submarine be brought to the surface? Is that a robot I see in my future? Breaking Bad: you missed an opportunity!

Matt Seneca, Celia Mattison & Tucker Stone catch up with The Great Silence, catch zero heat off of Darren Aronofsky, and talk about Charlie Dickens and The Triangle of Sadness. It's a movie cast, for the people, by some persons.

Celia and Tucker talk about Barbarian, The Fan (not the Tony Scott one, but the one that James Garner thought was the worst thing in his lengthy catalog of terrible things), and one of the worst movies that Celia has ever made it all the way through: Don't Worry Darling. They also trade secrets regarding their inexplicably personal feelings towards Kyle Reese. Movie time!

This time around, Matt Seneca dug Tucker up out of a well, shocked him back to life, and asked him why, why oh why, hast thou never seen Bela Tarr's Damnation? To which Tucker replied that he had been busy watching Black Adam. "Buddy" said Matt, "You can do both." A podcast was born, and in the afterbirth of its labor, you'll also find a brief discussion of Stephen Spielberg.

Matt Seneca and Sara McHenry join Tucker for a special ALL READING, ALL THE TIME episode of a movie podcast. But wait: won't this reading spoil my enjoyment of the movie someday? No, listening to Al Pacino's casting recommendations will do that. (The movie will never come out.)

After a nice and relaxing break to get Covid, Tucker and Celia are back: and so is Jordan Peele, with his latest picture, Nope! We also touch base on Gray Man and then near the end blaspheme Top Gun Maverick. Let's GO!

Celia's here, and she's been plugging away on the Festival circuit, like a movie robot, beep click and all that. But first we talk about The Northman (sort of!) and then we talk about Letterboxd (why not!) and then it's comic book time (yes ma'am!), before closing it out with Johnnie To's Throwdown. Promises are made!

Tucker is joined by Tessa Strain and Geoff Lapid to talk about Michael Bay's Ambulance, which may not have performed as well as some hoped at the box office, but performed extremely well in Tucker's heart--and that's the only metric that matters! We're also blessed with some hot takes on cold violence, with the Los Angeles duo explaining why, in fact, Tucker was right to stay home

This week, Tucker & Celia are talking about After Yang, which is great, and Celia's take on Batman, which is that she watched a shitload of Batman movies, and Tucker's take on Batman: Venom, which he has given on way more podcasts then is necessary.

In this episode, Celia and Morgan valiantly attempt to keep the podcast on the rails, but Tucker has been isolating himself proving once again that outside of Soprano's, there no such thing as the Golden Age of Television. But when they do get him back to movies, there's only one movie allowed: THE BATMAN. Maxwell Wolkin and Tucker trade favorite moments--violence, green PCP, why y
