SHE SAID stars Carey Mulligan & Zoe Kazan as New York Times reporters Megan Twohey and Jodi Kantor break one of the most important stories in a generation - a story that helped ignite a movement and shattered decades of silence around the subject of sexual assault in Hollywood.

SHE SAID is streaming On Demand on peacock/peacocktv

Directed by Maria Schrader, the SHE SAID movie tells the story of the downfall of Harvey Weinstein and the incredible fall out from the BRAVE women who stepped forward to tell their stories of abuse.

This story is just the beginning of the ME TOO movement and so much more.

Director Maria Schrader on She Said, the story of how two New York Times reporters  broke the story around sexual assault in Hollywood, and from acclaimed director Charlotte Sieling (Borgen, The Killing, The Bridge), Margrete — Queen of the North.

A momentous uncovering requires a momentous cast! Not just just one, or two or even three. But four absolutely depraved individuals looking at the crowning jewel of the McQueeners trilogy. 

There's a lot of history between SHAME and Laura. Videos, excited faces and soft bans on Instagram, to name a few. To help we welcome Josh Martin and Kat Whitacre of "Uncomfortable Brunch" to the table as we reminisce tales of our past and what this film has brought to us, good or bad. There's a tonne to expose here, mostly that Fassbender pulls out the performance of a lifetime in one of the saddest and most tragic depictions of addiction in recent cinema history. Ryan still thinks that Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick in DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES is probably sadder but anyway. 

Are you asking "What is Uncomfortable Brunch"? Well, you're obviously a terrible fan as we kinda covered it when Josh was on for the Jackass Quadrilogy way back when but to repeat, you watch uncomfortable art films around midday on a Sunday to alcohol and brunch items with a cinema going crowd; it's awesome! SHAME is playing at Uncomfortable Brunch, at the Enzian Theatre located in Maitland, FL, on September 4th. Tickets can be found here (if they are still available); https://enzian.org/film/shame/ 

Sit back and enjoy this very special and long episode to commemorate this specially sad film.

Referred to as, "A black comedy told in pastels," the film "Promising Young Woman" initiates our series on female revenge movies.  Written and directed by Emerald Fennell (for which she won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay) and starring Carey Mulligan, "Promising Young Woman" is a black comedy thriller which tells the story of a young woman, traumatized by a tragic event in her past, who seeks out vengeance against those who cross her path. 

Join Dawn "Sam" Alden, Sean Marlon Newcombe and Vicki Noble as they discuss this excellent film.

A LONG TIME AGO, IN THE 2005 MOVIE ADAPTATION OF PRIDE AND PREJUDICE:

• You’ve got no sons to inherit your estate, only five daughters, so what the hell are you going to do to ensure your family’s housing and security?
• Why, you send Jane, the oldest and prettiest to catch a cold in the rain so rich Mr Bingley will fall in love with her!
• You let your boring cousin take his pick of the flock, Lizzy; but when she’s not into it, he goes off and marries her best friend so your plan is again RUINED!
• You don’t take any of the rest of your daughters seriously, till the youngest one SCANDALOUSLY runs off with Mr Wickham. 
• Luckily there’s a Mr Darcy around to fix the situation with money and marriage, because is there a problem that money and marriage can’t fix?
• In the end, neither pride nor prejudice can get in the way of Bennet sisters marrying for love plus, conveniently, carriage-loads of money.

Join Jenny Owen Youngs, Helen Zaltzman and Vanessa Zoltan to investigate the 2005 movie adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, and investigate such mysteries as whether this could be recut as a horror film, why is everyone so mean to Mary, whether rainstorms are sexy or just soggy, and why the hell are these wigs allowed.

This episode is a joyous union between VMI and Vanessa's podcast Hot and Bothered, which is all about romance novels. Hear the current season Live from Pemberley, about Pride and Prejudice, in the pod places and at hotandbotheredrompod.com.

A long time ago (well, a couple of years ago) we recapped the 1995 BBC miniseries adaptation of P&P, which you can hear downfeed and at vmipod.com/prideandprejudice.

WoHos!

This week we got together with our sweet friend, Quinn, to talk about what movies (and a TV show and a bootleg of a musical) we enjoyed watching in 2021. We also discuss some that we thought were pure trash.

Notes:
We covered LAST ONES OUT way back in Season 1, ep  8.
We covered SUSPIRIA, 2018 in Season 3, episode 5. 

I never did remember the second movie I had thought of for Quinn's fifth pick. Shrug emoji.
There are only 5, not 6 seasons of iZombie.

Content note: in the Mom & Mac & Quinn chat we discuss: cheese week, not loving this time of year, whether or not time is a flat circle, whether or not to make resolutions and hugging trees.

Quinn's Picks
THE YOUNG POPE, THE SUMMER OF SOUL, LAST NIGHT IN SOHO, SAINT MAUD and PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE
Mac's Picks
SPACE SWEEPERS, CANDYMAN 1992 & 2021, THE MATRIX, SPONTANEOUS, A BOOTLEG OF WAITRESS, THE MUSICAL 
Mom's Picks
THE MEDIUM, RELIC, POSSESSOR, CENSOR, WE ARE STILL HERE

We all did not enjoy
PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN. 

Other films discussed: LICORICE PIZZA, COME TRUE, MALIGNANT, MIDNIGHT MASS, GIRLS 5EVA, SUCCESSION, HOST, TENEBRAE, POWER OF THE DOG and TOMORROW WAR.

See if you can spot the trends in our picks. Hint: One of us had religious-themed content, one of us had trans-related content and one of us had some sick psychological twisty-turny stuff.

Next time on the main episode, Mac and I will look at Season 4 of SLASHER, FLESH & BLOOD, episodes 1 - 4 and LAKE BODOM, from Finland.

Please get in touch with your fave fives from last year and what you are looking at

On this episode - separately from any series -  we are going to look at one of my favorite fall period pieces, Thomas Vinterburg's 2015 adaptation of Thomas Hardy classic English novel "Far From The Madding Crowd" starring Carey Mulligan.

I break down the episode scene by scene and include clips and opinions!
Hope you enjoy this cozy kick off to November.

Episode notes found at ingloriousbaguettes.com.

The “Cinephile Cuties” are ready to throw away their porn VHS tapes. That’s because they’re chatting about Steve McQueen’s ‘Shame.’ In this episode, Patrick and Casey discuss how this movie has not aged well. Plus, the boys put this film through their proprietary Fartsy Test. And Patrick recommends a drink pairing.

Inspired by Emerald Fennell's revenge thriller Promising Young Woman, The Final Girls present a mini-podcast dedicated to diving deep into the myriad of layers and themes of the film, written and directed by Emerald Fennell.

Writer/podcaster Jordan Crucchiola, writer, podcaster and filmmaker BJ Colangelo and The Final Girls co-founder Anna Bogutskaya discuss the divisive reaction to Promising Young Woman. Be warned: this episode is SPOILERIFIC from the very start.

Everyone has an opinion about this film. It's created huge cultural conversation. We discuss Cassie's rage, the choice to never show Nina, how the film is NOT a rape-revenge movie and how it tackles internalised misogyny and rape culture.

TW: there is discussion of sexual assault and rape.

We discuss the nice guy trope, meta-casting rom-com actors into predatory roles, the rom-com within the revenge film, the legacy of Seth Cohen and Xander Harris, gentle coercion and more.
