Super Sparrow

In this episode, we pick apart the Paterno trailer, are intrigued by the lengthy title Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far on Foot, are both charmed and harmed by the Super Troopers 2 trailer, and we can’t believe Jennifer Lawrence is playing Natasha in Red Sparrow.

 

A Little Black Mass Tomorrow(Land)

In this episode we look towards the awesome and exciting future in Tomorrowland, we watch a better tween cancer story in Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, debate over the merits of “kid doing magic” in Little Boy and fret over Johnny Depp’s ability to not screw up Black Mass.

Things mentioned in this episode:

• Me and Earl and The Dying Girl actually set a Sundance record, reaching a deal for $12 million
• The review from Rotten Tomatoes for Little Boy is basically “Well-meaning but manipulative on a horrifically misguided scale.” And now Gillian wants to see it so she can understand how it got that review.
• This is Benedict Cumberbatch in a scene from Black Mass. At least he looks happy

Our Australian name is Everly Anarchy

Hello there movie friends,

Sundance is upon us and there a lot of great movies coming out! If you see any previews that you want us to review, let us know! We hear the new Scientology documentary is a game-changer!

However we only review one Sundance movie this week. In this episode we enter motorcycle gang territory in Anarchy, see how Salma Hayek fights her way through the night (with her boobs) in Everly, somberly sober up with the impressive 3 1/2 Minutes and wonder if Owen Wilson can anchor a screwball comedy in She’s Funny That Way.

•  The song played at the beginning is Glory. Giving it much-deserved props. It won the Golden Globes and may win the Oscar.
• The song played during our Australian tangent is, fittingly, the Australian National Anthem. 
• Here is the plot of Shakespeare’s Cymbeline, who Ed Harris will reimagine in Anarchy. It involves a lot of heartbreak and betrayal. And people will fight over Dakota Johnson? W/e.
• The John Leguizamo/Debra Messing Christmas movie is called Nothing Like the Holidays. Probably don’t see it.
• Marc Silver made 3 1/2 Minutes.
