Movie Madness

November doesn’t kick off with a lot in physical media but the holidays are approaching and there might be something to jot down for your lists. Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski take you through the world of Harold and Maude and the phenomenon of those K-Pop Demon Hunters. You can get one of Sean Connery’s best performances or perhaps M. Night Shyamalan’s worst film (and that’s saying something.) Erik explains how much he hates Nicolas Cage’s It’s a Wonderful Life. And while it may not be for Peter, the historical significance of Gone with the Wind is still worth looking at.

October is ending but the movies seem to be never-ending as Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy have 13 more reviews for this week. After Erik catches up and shares his thoughts on You Can See Everything, they dive into documentaries involving a high-wire rescue (Hanging By A Wire), another trip up – and down – the mountain (Everest: The Other Side), the mystery of a 1980s bombing (Who Killed Alex Odeh?), behind-the-scenes again with the Coppola family (Making Marie Antoinette) as well as one of the greatest comedy shows of all-time (SCTV: The Greatest Show You've Never Heard Of). They remind you of their love from Sundance of John Turturro (The Only Living Pickpocket In New York). Spooky month ends with a dog breeder looking to expand their business (Breeder). Can a father and daughter move on from Nazi Germany (Fatherland)? Will Sacha Baron Cohen again expose our modern Nazi Germany (Ali G: Who Iz I?) Might Peter Berg literalize the metaphor between football and war (The Mosquito Bowl). Is there a frontrunner for the International Film Oscar? (La Bola Negra). Former soldier Liam Neeson has to drive fast from the cops (The Mongoose) and Ron Livingston moves next door to a holiday-loving family who may be up to no good (Christmas At The Kringles).

October is wrapping up and physical media has a lot of horror-adjacent titles to offer. Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski take a look at Guillermo Del Toro’s recent passion project getting the Criterion treatment. There are clown kidnappers, a monster on the streets of Paris, the teenage antichrist as well as a group of BMX riders. Glenn Ford has to deal with some other young punks, Julia Roberts & Clive Owen are corporate spies, William Powell & Myrna Loy team again and one of the funnier comedies of the 2020s that you likely missed gets an upgrade. Arrow resurrects another box set of home video action shlock but also Peter’s favorite Peter Jackson film. Finally, if you really want to frighten someone this Halloween show them John MacNaughton’s Chicago portrait of a serial killer who doesn’t wear a mask.

October is just full of movies so Erik Childress & Steve Prokopy review another 11 of them for you. On the documentary side there are the stories of an MTV show (This Is Buzz) and another comedian tale from Netflix and Judd Apatow (Paralyzed By Hope: The Maria Bamford Story). Steve talks about a Broadway show with Rose Byrne you can see in theaters (Fallen Angels). They go back to this year’s Sundance for a fable with Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgaard (Wicker) and a couple Sundances ago for tales of drugs with David Schwimmer (Junk). Taika Waititi has Jenna Ortega as a family’s robot friend (Klara and the Sun) while Deborah Ann Woll investigates a mysterious animal attack (The Cycle) and Helen Mirren tries to manifest another Tom Ripley story (A Talent for Murder). The director of Burning, Lee Chang-dong, returns with his first film in eight years (Possible Love). The DC Gunnverse tries their hand at “horror” (Clayface) and the animators at Laika deliver their most ambitious project yet (Wildwood).

It is a week of cult movies, cable/video era obscurities, a historical Oscar-winner and a tribute to one of the greatest of all filmmakers. That is where Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski begin by telling you all about the new Stanley Kubrick set from Criterion along with one of the pair of the more unsettling films (for different reasons) ever. You can wash that down with a pleasant William Powell film or double down with some Mario Bava, a sequel to Westworld or a Dean Koontz adaptation. They talk about the history of a strange Broadway adaptation, Richard Burton as a murderous husband and Jim Carrey’s big paycheck for a dark comedy celebrating its 30th anniversary.
