De Black Sheep

• de Parthenope

  In this episode, we dive into Paolo Sorrentino's Parthenope. For once, there’s no middle ground—just two completely different takes clashing in real time. There was no pre-discussion, no alignment, just raw reactions as we unpacked what this film is (or isn’t). A part of Aflojack sees it as an ambitious attempt at a grand, meaningful project that somehow ends up delivering… nothing. Meanwhile, the other side argues that form over substance is the entire point, and maybe that’s where its brilliance lies.Our biggest clash remains whether this movie is a black sheep, an underdog in some ways, or just an overhyped misstep. Tune in and judge for yourself.lbx: @AFLOJACK - https://letterboxd.com/DeBlekSheep/ig: @deblacksheepodcast - https://www.instagram.com/deblacksheepodcast/profilecard/?igsh=MTB6YzQ2cGluY2FocA==tt: @aflojack - https://www.tiktok.com/@aflojack?_t=8rMV1S6JQVk&_r=1

• de Shiva Baby

  Oh to be a young adult stuck in a room full of imposed expectations! Isn't that the dream? Maybe it is, unless you're a sheep with no direction in life. But don't worry - if you feel out of place and delusional, you're just being relatable. And Shiva Baby (2020) is the proof. Triggering, sympathetic, and incredibly funny, Shiva Baby makes its way to the podium of black sheep movies. Portraying a situation in which we all found ourselves at least once, this indie masterpiece puts together the worst that could happen and makes it happen. The best bit? This film is women-coded. lbx: @AFLOJACK - https://letterboxd.com/DeBlekSheep/ig: @deblacksheepodcast - https://www.instagram.com/deblacksheepodcast/profilecard/?igsh=MTB6YzQ2cGluY2FocA==tt: @aflojack - https://www.tiktok.com/@aflojack?_t=8rMV1S6JQVk&_r=1

• de Blunt Sesh #6 - Women Rule

  For Women's Month, we're celebrating stories about women with our top picks: Shiva Baby, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, and Parthenope.Each of these films explores different facets of womanhood—messy, chaotic, and deeply human. If you want to understand more about what it means to be a woman, you could start by asking the women in your life… or you could just let Aflojack give you a watchlist.lbx: @AFLOJACK - https://letterboxd.com/DeBlekSheep/ig: @deblacksheepodcast - https://www.instagram.com/deblacksheepodcast/profilecard/?igsh=MTB6YzQ2cGluY2FocA==tt: @aflojack - https://www.tiktok.com/@aflojack?_t=8rMV1S6JQVk&_r=1

• de Oscars Ceremony - Bonus Drop

  The Oscars. From a host that had us side-eyeing since the beginning, to the movies that actually mattered, we break it all down. We’re talking Conclave, Anora, The Substance—what worked, flopped, or  was mere Oscars bait. Most importantly, which film from this year will stick around, and which will disappear into the void of forgettable Best Picture nominees?Consider this your extra dose of film talk—let’s get into it.lbx: @AFLOJACK - https://letterboxd.com/DeBlekSheep/ig: @deblacksheepodcast - https://www.instagram.com/deblacksheepodcast/profilecard/?igsh=MTB6YzQ2cGluY2FocA==tt: @aflojack - https://www.tiktok.com/@aflojack?_t=8rMV1S6JQVk&_r=1

• de The Brutalist

  10 Academy Awards nominations made The Brutalist impossible for Aflojack to ignore. Moreover, architecture, period drama, and Adrian Brody are ingredients that tend to meet our tastes. And so it did, yet this film didn't quite live up to its premise. Great performances, visuals and score where not enough to satisfy us. Nevertheless, The Brutalist will certainly go down in the history of film awards. And it remains a recommendation we'll always be happy to give. Film: The Brutalist (2024)Director: Brady Corbetlbx: @AFLOJACK - https://letterboxd.com/DeBlekSheep/ig: @deblacksheepodcast - https://www.instagram.com/deblacksheepodcast/profilecard/?igsh=MTB6YzQ2cGluY2FocA==tt: @aflojack - https://www.tiktok.com/@aflojack?_t=8rMV1S6JQVk&_r=1
