Erin and Paul review Steven Soderbergh's MAGIC MIKE'S LAST DANCE, and Oscar contenders ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT, THE WHALE, TO LESLIE, EO, and ALL THE BEAUTY AND THE BLOODSHED, before exploring THE LAST MOVIE STARS, WHO KILLED THE KLF? and the original ROCKY.

Lisa's love-hate relationship with Oscar reaches another year. This time we focus on the Best Actress race. So yes we cover Michelle, Michelle, Cate, Andrea and Ana, but we range far and wide as Lisa and Dean are joined by Oscars uber-nerd Paul Sullivan who brings his unique encyclopaedic brain to the party.

And of course we close out with our own predictions and Lisa hands out the 'Zammie' for Best Actress

Enjoy !

We discuss Andrea Riseborough's controversial Oscar nomination & recap Beyonce, Bennifer 2.0, Harry Styles, Madonna, & more at the Grammys. In the end, a game of "guess that Super Bowl commercial" with baby Sloane. 

In this week's episode David, John and Kyle discuss the filming conditions of the Squid Game reality series (1:50), the Writers Guild Award nominations and what this means for the Oscar best picture race (8:45) and how The Academy is looking into Andrea Riseborough's possibly concerning social media Oscar campaign (15:00). We also review the series premiere of the Peacock mystery series Poker Face (22:10). Finally, we have mini-reviews of Tár (32:30), Elvis (36:05), All Quiet on the Western Front (40:45) and Pressure Cooker (45:00).

October continues with horror both real and imagined this week as Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy review eight new movies. They include a reminder of Andrea Riseborough’s stirring portrayal of the road to alcoholic recovery (To Leslie) and Mila Kunis’ far less stirring turn as a survivor of multiple traumas (Luckiest Girl Alive). Shawn Mendes is the voice of a singing croc (Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile) and Ruben Ostlund skewers the voices of the nouveau riche in his Palme d’or winning satire (Triangle of Sadness). Donald Sutherland and his iPhone grant revenge in a new Stephen King film that is horror adjacent (Mr. Harrigan’s Phone) and Art the Clown is back (yet new to Erik) in a blood-drenched sequel (Terrifier 2). Also returning are the Cenobites in a new reimagining from David Bruckner (Hellraiser) and another David (O. Russell) tries out an ensemble comic mystery to warn of impending worldwide horror (Amsterdam). Erik and Steve also pay tribute to the loss of their friend and Movie Madness regular, Sergio Mims.

Caitlin is joined by two Jovian Warriors to cover 2018's Mandy: bestie Charlie and brother Zach. Mandy is a movie about a man with a singular focus: REVENGE. We explore said revenge, as well as stylized hyper-violence, "righetous masculinity," and more. Brush up on your French as we attempt to pronouce words we don't know (we are, how  you say... idiots), and join us as we answer questions from the audience. We had a lot of fun!

This week we're talking Possessor and The Dark and the Wicked.  These are two fresh horror films that have the potential to become staples within the genre for years to come.  We're also testing out a new game called "Decoding the Plot" where we read a plot description for a movie and try to guess which film it is referencing.  Don't forget to Like, Subscribe, Rate & Review.  Follow us everywhere @MeeDarkPresents.

We had an out-of-body experience trying to review Brandon Cronenberg's trippy new sci-fi horror film Possessor, which stars Andrea Riseborough, Christopher Abbot, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Sean Bean. After that, we dive into the endless charms of Kirsten Johnson's new documentary Dick Johnson is Dead. And since it is October, why not add another horror film, Scare Me, which is now on Shudder. Last, there's Save Yourselves! — a new indie comedy starring Sunita Mani and John Paul Reynolds.

Music in this episode: “Roots” by Kupla.

ARCHIVED EPISODE // 

ON TOPIC:

There are tons of movies out there that may seem off-putting. They're alienating from start to finish, often called 'artsy-fartsy' or 'pretentious', and at their worst can repel most people. Other films can seem too good to be true and you can't help but press play, wading through what seems the most bizarre plot line with unrealistic characters.

And then, there are other films that seem a little... too weird. They make you go, "That's it?" and you move on.

Or... so you think.
