Marvelous! Or, the Death of Cinema

The Russo brothers are boring, lame guys who make boring, lame movies. The Gray Man, appropriate to it's name, is perhaps the most boring and lame so far. Our suffering is Eternal, but the episode is only 80 minutes.

Steven Spielberg: whiz kid of New Hollywood, maestro of cinematic spectacle, Lord Emperor of eighties kids nostalgia, and chief architect of the modern blockbuster as we know it . A spectral presence over this podcast, but first and foremost, he's our preeminent child-of-divorce auteur. We're joined by Aaron from Hit Factory to talk The Fabelmans, Spielberg's stunningly revealing work of autofiction mistaken for another navel-gazing piece of Oscar bait.

Jane Altoids (@staticbluebat) of Pacino Pod joins us to relitigate one of Film Twitter's favorite discourses: is Damien Chazelle's mega-critical and commercial flop Babylon an underrated masterpiece or a heaping pile of elephant shit? Did Babylon deserve to fall or did the guy famously who lost Best Picture to Moonlight make one of the great misunderstood films of the 21st century? Can a straight man (loosely, debatably) adapt Kenneth Anger's tome of gay lies, deceits, and fallacies Hollywood Babylon into what dumb people call a "love letter" to silent cinema? The verdict: Babylon bad, or at the very least a hot mess of ambition, miscasts leads, and tonal whiplash from a director lacking the camp touch and the ability to diagnose where Hollywood evil truly resides.

A movie so nice they put it in theaters twice! This week on the pod, Stu, Nicole, and Cole Netscape watched Morbius, the Sony Spider-Man Universe's (sans Spider-Man) follow up entry to Venom: Let There Be Carnage and a multi-million dollar vanity project for notoriously Method actor and (ALLEGED PLEASE DON'T SUE US) pedophile Jared Leto.
