Timothée Chalamet's Bob Dylan is Electric in 'A Complete Unknown'
Kelsi and Trey dive deep into the recent rise of Timothée Chalamet, examining his recent work in 2024, including his transformative performance in A Complete Unknown. Chalamet completely immerses himself into his version of Bob Dylan, but the direction of James Mangold holds him back from ever fully capturing the political anger of this enigmatic artist. While we really enjoyed ourselves, we wanted something a bit more...radical! YouTube review on its way.

Robert Eggers' 'Nosferatu' Sacrifices Depth for Craft
Kelsi and Trey dive deep into Robert Eggers' highly anticipated Nosferatu remake. While Eggers' signature atmospheric style is on full display, we explore whether the film’s haunting visuals and slow-burn tension are enough to overcome its often uninteresting narrative. We debate whether its a brilliant reimagining of a classic, or if the film leaves viewers wanting more absurdity and textual depth.

The Denzel Washington Project in 'Training Day' | Patreon #43
Kelsi and Trey dive into the chaotic world of Training Day, the 2001 crime thriller that earned Denzel Washington his only Best Actor Academy Award. They explore Washington's portrayal of Detective Alonzo Harris, a cartoonish villain elevated by Washington's charisma and command. We also explore Washington's career, highlighting his versatility across his very-different eras, examining how Training Day fits into his filmography. While Training Day is a propulsive movie, and Washington is undeniably compelling, we also touch on why this film has a complicated legacy for a variety of reasons.

Julia Roberts Reclaims Julia Roberts in 'Notting Hill' | Patreon #42
Kelsi and Trey explore the world of one of our favorite romantic comedies Notting Hill. This 1999 rom-com gem pairs the awkward charm of Hugh Grant with one-and-only Julia Roberts. We discuss their careers, the rom-com king Richard Curtis, and the meta commentary that Trey thinks makes Notting Hill one of the most interesting Hollywood cultural artifacts ever made.

'We Live in Time' Survives with Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield
Kelsi and Trey dive into We Live in Time, a conventional romantic drama starring the incredible Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield. We unpack the film’s exploration of love, loss, and the passage of time, and discuss how it uses the formulaic genre to its advantage. We talk about the chemistry of Pugh and Garfield, analyze the film’s narrative flaws, and dig into its non-linear storytelling, including its meditative take on memory and connection. Plus, some extra stuff on Andrew Garfield ;)
