    About this Episode

    Mark knows a great romcom the way you know about a good melon as he tries to figure out what makes When Harry Met Sally so definitive, how a good romcom asks a different question to a bad romcom, and if a man and a woman can ever really be friends if they're both equally wrong about Casablanca.

    The Bear (Pilot & Season 1)

    Mark lets the overanalysis rip as he tries to figure out what makes the first season of The Bear so nerve-shredding, how it uses Sydney and Cousin Richie to express arguments within its protagonist, and if anyone else gets as excited by the term 'fractal structure' as he does.

    If there's any magic in this world, it's in the space between Mark and a great movie as he tries to figure out what makes Before Sunrise so romantic, how the film is a masterpiece of understated structure, and why nobody has described the brilliance of Richard Linklater better than Richard Linklater describing the brilliance of Eric Rohmer.

    There Will Be Blood

    There Will Be Blood

    Ladies and Gentlemen, if Mark says he's an overanalyser, you will agree as he tries to figure out what makes There Will Be Blood feel so monumental, why Roger Ebert was right to describe it as "imperfect", and if anyone ever asked about the guys they definitely knew Daniel murdered.

    The Super Mario Bros Movie Vs Wall-E

    Mark grabs the Wall-E power up as he tries to figure out what makes The Super Mario Bros feel so hollow and Wall-E so heartfelt, why it's so important for someone to learn something in a story, and if anyone can hear his ranting over the sound of The Super Mario Bros Movie printing money.

    Home Alone

    Mark is what the French call "les incompetent" as he tries to figure out what makes Home Alone such a Christmas classic, why one sequence 76 minutes in so dominates our memories of the film, and how kids never notice how amazing Kevin's house is.

    Past Lives

    Past Lives

    Mark hopes to get 8000 layers of in-yun with this film as he tries to figure out what makes Past Lives so affecting, how it tells such a thematically weighted story through such a simple human one, and if this film could be any less interested in Canada.

    Thelma & Louise

    Thelma & Louise

    It's a good thing Mark isn't regional manager as he tries to figure out what makes Thelma & Louise such a cultural touchstone, how its 2nd act somehow makes a tragic ending feel so empowering, and what's so interesting about a young, shirtless Brad Pitt.

    The Silence of the Lambs

    The Silence of the Lambs

    Mark overanalyses — that is his nature — as he tries to figure out what makes The Silence of the Lambs so unsettling, how its structure and cinematography both express its theme, and why we all prefer a psychopathic cannibal over a guy with his own gold pen.

    The Dark Knight

    The Dark Knight

    Some men just want to watch films and overanalyse them as Mark tries to figure out what makes The Dark Knight so propulsive, why its use of theme is both a strength and a little wonky, and how Batman kidnapping a Hong Kong businessman wasn't a major international incident.
