Go ahead and listen to our newest episode of the podcast! @randomgerm101 and @thenerdychicano talk about Dee Rees’ #Pariah! Click the link in the bio to listen! “Everything Everywhere All at Once is mesmerizing original filmmaking at its finest that packs many punches. I found myself laughing, smiling, and crying throughout its runtime, and when a film can do all that while keeping my attention it is truly a special piece of art. It’s woven together by heart, an interesting stylistic approach, and clever writing that keeps you hooked until the very end. I loved every single performance from Ke Huy Quan’s charming and electrifying Waymond Wang who serves as the anchor to Michelle Yeoh’s Evelyn Wang.” “The Hand of God is written, produced, and directed by Italian director, Paolo Sorrentino (The Great Beauty). The film stars Filippo Scotti, Toni Servillo, Teresa Saponangelo, Marlon Joubert, Luisa Ranieri, Renato Carpienteri, Massimiliano Gallo, and Betty Pedrazi. It is the winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the 78th Venice International Film Festival. The Hand of God was nominated for Best International Feature Film at this year’s Academy Awards. The film is a coming-of-age story that looks at the life of Fabietto (Filippo Scotti) as he maneuvers a sudden tragedy in his life. The story is inspired by Sorrentino’s youth and the sudden tragic passing of his parents at a young age while living in Naples.” @randomgerm101 and @thenerdychicano discussed on yesterday’s podcast the film, #acrosstheuniverse! Click the link in the bio to check it out! On the podcast feed, we’ve started our month looking at films directed by women. We started off with the classic, Real Women Have Curves. Catch us live tonight on Twitch and YouTube (same name as on IG) as we talk about, Across The Universe. Listen to this episode by clicking the link in the bio! “The Power of the Dog is a psychological western where we meet two brothers Phil and George Burbank, and we follow each of their journeys throughout 1920s Montana. Phil Burbank (Benedict Cumberbatch) is a cattle driver who has assumed leadership of his group since the death of his mentor Buck Henry. Bill Burbank (Jesse Plemons) is another cattle driver who eventually falls in love with widow Rose Gordon (Kirsten Dunst) who takes care of her brother Peter Gordon (Kodi Smit-McPhee). Life on this Montanna ranch isn’t easy as Phil terrorizes the Gordon siblings while hiding a prominent part of his life from the public light. What we are presented is a mesmerizing and patient film about toxic masculinity, sexuality, and the mystical aura of the American West.” “In the film, we follow the journey of an elderly Bolivian couple who live in the rural areas of Bolivia. The couple is content with living on their land, but their grandson pays them a visit. Their grandson tries to convince them to move out, especially with a growing concern for the grandfather’s health. Along with health concerns, there is a fear of the diminishing amount of water that is readily available to the residents of the region.” On the latest episode of The Nerd Corps podcast, hosts @thenerdychicano and @randomgerm101 talk about one of the best films of last year, #FLEE. Thank you to @verdugoentertainment for sending out the new restored version of the 80’s horror classic, Ghostriders! You can purchase this by visiting verdugoent.com/shop/! Review coming soon!
