  1. I second Arrival. You haven't done a Denis Villenueve film yet and it's a good one. J & J's also good but probably a better showcase for Meryl Streep as Julia Child (and a redux episode for her, if she gets one) than Amy as Julie. For her early career maybe her Night at the Museum film; for her more recent stuff, maybe Vice, the (notorious) Dear Evan Hansen, or Enchanted's sequel Disenchanted.
  2. Jaws. Only seen Psycho once and I've seen Amadeus many times, but I think Psycho probably beats it for being a tauter film, and while both make excellent use of music, at the end of the day I prefer an original soundtrack over a mixtape (so to speak) or a succession of needle drops. Not seen Inception since our FCF episode or ever seen a Shyamalan film in full, so I couldn't possibly comment.
  3. Have you tried listening to them via Spotify? I was able to do a re-listen of most of the Classic Era episodes (Episodes 30-90, to be precise) through their iPhone app and didn't have issues downloading or listening to them there.
  4. The Four have been cast. The FF are probably my least favorite major superhero property, but I like this casting and hope they’re done justice this time (and that don’t reuse and waste Doom again).
  5. Here's the final batch for Johto, featuring the legendaries, the Kimono girls (yes, that's what their English name is), and returning characters from Kanto and Gen 1! Next up is Hoenn and Gen 3, but gonna take a break for a bit before diving into it.
  6. Whilst it's tempting to nominate Catwoman, you covered her reaction to the films' critical panning and her Razzie nomination pretty thoroughly in the original episode. I'm gonna be equally evil, then, and suggest Die Another Die. As for the others, maybe the bonkerthon Moonfall for her recent stuff and Father Hood for her early work (which will allow Pandy to talk more about Patrick Swayze).
  7. Thanks! Good! 😄 Here's the next batch, featuring more Kanto evolutions and "baby" forms, the rest of the Johto's gym leaders and Elite Four, and the Rocket Execs! Hoping to finish the remaining characters and Pokemon in the next week or so.
  8. Wonka: Still processing it but as of now think it’s probably the most consistently strong of the Wonka films. It’s easily the most visually innovative and least cynical of the three, though not without a few dark Dahlian characters and scenes. Chalamet, the actress who plays his sidekick, and the supporting cast are all great (especially Olivia Colman and Paterson Joseph). It won’t be to everyone’s taste but overall I really enjoyed it.
  9. Started this batch in July and hoped to have it done by the end of the year. Not quite there yet (mainly since I still have the legendaries and two key post-game characters to finish), but I'm mostly done nonetheless. As with the Kanto/Gen I drawings, these Johto/Gen II ones are on 18" x 24" sheets with the relevant Pokemon and key characters drawn to scale (1 in = 1 ft). "Baby" Pokemon with evolved forms first introduced in Kanto (like Pichu and Cleffa) have their immediate evolved forms silhouetted in color behind them. Meanwhile, those that are evolved forms of Kantonian Pokemon (like Crobat and Steelix) have their previous forms in black and white (or more accurately gray) pencil behind them. Because most the gym leaders and Elite Four members of Johto have aces from Kanto, I positioned the ones guilt of that next to what I thought would be suitable Johtonian alternatives for them (ex. Falkner w/Hoothoot, Bugsy w/Spinarak, etc). Here then are the first four (our of eleven) sheets, featuring the starters, the protagonists, the professor, and the rival, along with @Koete's favorite Pokemon and @dc20willsave's Johtonian namesake! @Missy@Pan-dub@Molly@Donomark@slothian@KnightWing
  10. Favourite Featured Actor: Orson Welles Favourite Review: Good Will Hunting Worst Movie Covered: Chasing Amy. Admittedly I've not seen it nor have I seen Pearl Harbor in ages, but based on the reviews, Kevin Smith seemed to have weaker grasp of lesbianism than Michael Bay did of what happened at Pearl Harbor. Best Feedback: Pandy's cluster emails of randomness (esp. the one buttering up yours truly). Honorable mention to Donovan's MP3 re: Ben Affleck and Dan's feedback re: Boston and Good Will Hunting. Favourite Jingle: Culture Corner Most Anticipated DIRECTOR for Next Year: Paul Verhoeven. Ideally a double bill of RoboCop and Showgirls.
  11. I think it's fair to say that anyone who hasn't seen him in Sex Education is in for a real treat. 🙂
  12. I had to watch it in two sittings. I ultimately enjoyed it BUT My reaction to The Star Beast on the other was pretty much @Donomark’s to Wild Blue Yonder verbatim:
  13. Wish: To be covered in the last proper episode of Part of Your World next year before it goes on hiatus. Saying more would be revealing too much. 🤐
  14. Men in Black's probably a must and definitely a classic. Maybe King Richard (the film he won Best Actor for on that fateful night) or even Emancipation (his first post-Slapgate film). I didn't dislike your Seven Pounds review (or the initial episode as a whole) but Pursuit of Happiness seems like the natural replacement for it (though it does have Jaden in it).
  15. Considering some of his super recent roles (including Renfield and Dream Scenario), Nicolas Cage is certainly viable (plus he's a goldmine for jingles and parodies). Same with Michelle Yeoh due to Everything Everywhere All At Once. I don't remember you enjoying any of the films you did for Ian McKellen month, so it wouldn't hurt to give him another go (and yes, you can do the film you and I covered but haven't released the review of @slothian).
  16. Oppenheimer over Jaws (at least for now) and Shinnin' over Singin'. Treasure Planet vs. Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2
  17. Good Will Hunting for his early career and The Martian for his more recent output (he's good in Oppenheimer, but that would be better for a Cillian Murphy or RDJ month). Maybe The Bourne Identity for the Noughties.
  18. Richard Moll dies at 80. Granted, I know him almost exclusively as Harvey Dent/Two-Face, but his performance as the character is criminally underrated and I don't doubt he was great in other stuff.
