This week, it's two films about the vast, unknowable world of children: Petit Maman and Where Is the Friend's House.
This week, it's two films valiantly trying to capture the slippery, universal experience of ~~being online~~. It's We're All Going to the World's Fair (2022), and Unfriended (2014). 
It's 420! Zone out to two Linklater films: his latest rotoscope cartoon, the '60s nostalgia fest Apollo 10 1/2, and a film you may have seen on VHS 10,000 times, Dazed and Confused. 
This week, we're looking at two ~~erotic thrillers~~ !! A much-maligned genre making a small, tentative comeback, in part thanks to this week's movie, Deep Water (2022); we're also talking about one of the genre's foundational texts, 1981's Bod
This week, it's two extremely different movies about almost exactly the same extreme situation: being a 13-year-old girl. It's Turning Red (2022) and Eighth Grade (2018). 
This week, we're talking about two philosophical science fiction films made by critics-turned-directors: After Yang (2022, Kogonada), and Alphaville (1965, Jean-Luc Godard). 
This week, it's two films nominated for Best Documentary Feature: Summer of Soul (Amir Questlove Thompson, 2021), and Flee (Jonas Poher Rasmussen, 2021; also nominated for Best Foreign Language Film and Best International Feature, a first!). Li
This week, we're looking at two films that untangle the messy web of supposedly criminal acts -- A Hero (Asghar Farhadi, 2021) and Pickpocket (Robert Bresson, 1959). 
This week, it's two transcendent European movies about Europeans makin' movies: 2021's Bergman Island and 1973's Day For Night. 
This week we're looking at a very small category: directorial debuts from actors in which they do not appear as actors. So, we've got The Lost Daughter (2022, Maggie Gyllenhaal), and Night of the Hunter (1955, Charles Laughton).
We're looking back at the best of 2021 -- shows we talked about on the podcast, and those we didn't (one guess which one of us saw more movies lol). Happy New Year! 
This time, it's two loose semi-sprawling good-time movies -- Licorice Pizza (2021) and After Hours (1985). 
This week, we're talking about Jane Campion's new film, the taught revisionist western The Power of the Dog (2021), and another film about dark psychosexual obsession in the Old West, The Assassination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford. 
This week, it's two sides of the same coin: Spener (2021) and The Queen (2006). 
How many inequality cannibal survival horror movies starring a 13-year-old have you seen? I'm at ... one. This week, it's Wes Craven's The People Under the Stairs.  
This week, it's two (spoiler alert!) very succesful adaptations of supposedly unfilmable nerd-classic books: Dune (2021) and The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001). 
This week, we're looking at the most recent movies by what I'm going to say without doing any research is the oldest living actor-director in the world: Clint Eastwood. It's Cry Macho (2021) and Richard Jewell (2019). 
This week, we're talking about two movies that get at the nature of what it means to share your life with another person, when that person might not really be a person at all -- I'm Your Man (2021) and Her (2013). 
This week, it's two strikingly similar movies from strikingly talented directors: The Card Counter (2021, Paul Schrader) and Hard Eight (1996, Paul Thomas Anderson). 
This week, we're doing the record-setting Sundance feel-good movie Coda (2021) and the Amazon feel-bad movie The Sound of Metal (2020). Two movies about music and hearing, this week! 
This week, we're talking about The Green Knight (2021) and another big retelling of Arthurian legend, Excalibur (1981). One is definitely way better! 
This week, we're looking at two late-period Nic Cage masterpieces: Pig (2021) and Joe (2013)
Two movies about the delusions and danger social media exposes us to, and compels us to submit ourselves to: Zola (2021) and Ingrid Goes West (2017).
This week, we're looking at two very different takes on musicals about life in the city: In the Heights (2021) and The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964). 
This week, two buddy road films that subvert the genre in some ways and ... not others. It's Plan B (2021) and Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle (2004).
