CIVIL WAR is A24's Biggest Movie Ever.
Ewan and Lachlan review the first season of Fallout and Alex Garland's Civil War produced by A24. Ewan watched Ripley, The Sympathizer and Rebel Moon Part 2. Lachlan is back from his holiday in Bali and has thoughts on Tarantino quitting his 10th film The Movie Critic.
MAY DECEMBER is Deliciously Awkward
It's that time of the year when the films that premiered at Cannes finally release for all audiences worldwide and among them is this week's movie May December. Ewan shares his love for Todd Haynes filmmaking while Lachlan loved the movie more for its technical achievements rather than narrative ones. Ewan also caught some Christmas-themed movies like The Holdovers and «It's a Wonderful Knife» and they both sat through the horrible Family Switch, why? - they still don't know. Lachlan (re)watched a couple more Ridley Scott movies including Thelma & Louise and Gladiator and is very excited for the live-action Fallout series that just premiered its first trailer. Finally, Furiosa, The Boys Season 4, and House of the Dragon Season 2 all premiered their first trailers this week.
