New episode: "Pay It Forward" (2000). Haley Joel Osment is sure one good deed times three can fix the world. Kevin Spacey's scarred teacher is not. Then it dares you not to cry. Does it hold up? @carsonolshansky.bsky.social, @pmiscove.bsky.social and @emilystjams.bsky.social get into it.

Wendy & Lucy guts me, and it's the economics. There was a version of this country where you could land in a strange town with no car and still get a job and a one-bedroom. Now? 3x rent, first, last, deposit. @pmiscove.bsky.social @emilystjams.bsky.social @mitchellbeaupre.bsky.social #DoesItHoldUp

Wendy and Lucy is live now for our Patreon members. Kelly Reichardt, Michelle Williams, a dead car and a missing dog. 80 of the quietest, most devastating minutes you'll sit through. Full video w/ @pmiscove.bsky.social @emilystjams.bsky.social @mitchellbeaupre.bsky.social. 🔗 in profile.

"People joke Southland Tales was a documentary." It's more honestly disjointed than most retrospectives of the last 25 years. "It doesn't make sense" is fair. So has America. @pmiscove.bsky.social   @emilystjams.bsky.social  @josie.zone

Emily on Old Joy: it's "homoerotic in the way real life is," when you were so close to someone that a gray area opens up, sexuality aside. Full video + members-only perks on Patreon 👉 patreon.com/Podcastlikeits @pmiscove.bsky.social  @emilystjams.bsky.social  @isaacfeldberg.bsky.social

"All the imagery is fascist." Starship Troopers opens with a gleefully ridiculous recruiting reel and still asks "Do you want to know more?" So how did anyone miss that it's satire? Full ep + video on Patreon 👉 patreon.com/Podcastlikeits @pmiscove.bsky.social

"Just pretty pictures with pretty people." Starship Troopers cast actors who wouldn't overthink it on purpose. Verhoeven was chasing Leni Riefenstahl, not Keanu Reeves. The pretty veneer is the whole point. Full ep + video on Patreon 👉 patreon.com/Podcastlikeits @pmiscove.bsky.social

"This is about people searching for God." Fiona Dourif on Donnie Darko: suburbia laced with existential dread, like American Beauty or Magnolia's frogs. Full ep + video on Patreon 👉 patreon.com/Podcastlikeits @pmiscove.bsky.social   @emilystjams.bsky.social

Fiona Dourif on why Donnie Darko still gets under your skin: it starts as a normal high school movie, then gets weirder and weirder into a Lynchian fever dream. @emilystjams.bsky.social  @pmiscove.bsky.social This clip is a taste. Full episode + video on our Patreon 🔗 in profile.

"The world is still the world. VR just exists." Tom and Katie on why Strange Days (1995) feels like it was written about right now. Good sci-fi doesn't change everything at once, it starts from today and builds up. Full convo + video on our Patreon 👉 🔗 in profile @pmiscove.bsky.social

@eliasisquith.blog  on Wanted: "It is hyper-individualistic to a psychotic degree." God knows how many civilians die, and the movie acts like it's irrelevant. "There is no society. Just these people who operate on these levels we can't see."@pmiscove.bsky.social @emilystjams.bsky.social
