Mega64 Movie Club: Under The Skin

I’m with you Shawn, I fucking turned this shit off so hard at that beach scene. Fuck this movie forever

Jennifer’s Body does actually rip

Mp3 where

Jennifer’s Body is actually good

To women my fiance's age Jennifer's Body is totally a cult classic. If you were in high school in the late 2000s, that was the movie to see.

Brick is a good one to watch, Maybe check out Cube (1997), or Green Room. Those are my suggestions.

Two movies I'd like to see you guys talk about: Hundreds of Beavers: Low budget, fun, and creative. Reminded me of Mega64! Psycho Goreman: Would like to hear Rocco's thoughts on it since he's a tokusatsu fan!

I have to hear Shawn's take on Trap.

I would recommend Tammy and The T-Rex, dumb campy 90’s movie with practical effects

I think Spiderman 3 has gone full circle and is now an iconic cheesy movie that is so much fun to watch. That or Spiderman 2 would be great to re-watch and reflect on the trilogy. Also, a lot of great behind-the-scenes stories from what that movies could have been.

Got to be that guy - Jennifer's Body is a total classic for ppl in their mid to late 20s - Really captured the teen angst and alt scene energy from it's era. Just a fun time capsule type film in a sense for those of us who used to loop fallout boy, panic at the disco, my chemical romance, etc.... sure it's like a hot topic fan fic but it's starring a ton of cool, hot actors from that era in a movie you won't typically see them in.

I love that not only are you leaving your comfort zone you're going to a movie you explicitly dislike My recommendation would be Synecdoche, New York which only recently overtook The Prestige as my favourite movie

Still would definitely love to hear your opinions on "Beau is Afraid", but maaaaybe don't later down the line for Shawn's sake haha "Under the Silver Lake" would be fun. I'd say it has a very similar in tone/vibe is Mulholland Drive and it would be fun see what you all think.

Hey guys! I just watched the latest podcast. Derrick recommended Cabin in the Woods during the show, and I fully agree with him! I think both Rocco and Shawn would love it, and it would make for a great October episode too. (Plus sounds like you guys could use something to laugh at after this lol)

I would recommend Jonathan Glazer’s first movie SEXY BEAST — I think it’s interesting to see where he started given he’s only had four films and Under the Skin and Zone of Interest (two of my favorite movies) are so deadly serious. Yet Sexy Beast is a fun and stylish crime movie in the same sort of vein as Trainspotting. And a wild card movie is LOVE LIES BLEEDING (which is on HBO), kind of strange and I’m less sure you guys would like it, but very unique.

Definitely would recommend the movie HER with Joaquin and Scarlet. It’s my secret #1 movie of all time lmao.

Have you guys seen Seven Psychopaths? Maybe it isn't as much of a departure from the norm that you're hoping for, but my favourite movie to watch with friends.

I recommend Nashville (1975). https://letterboxd.com/film/nashville/

Young Woman and the Sea

Donnie Darko

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Hot rod!

Jennifer's Body has a tiny bit more going on than it's made out to, but apart from the campy, gay overtones, it really has nothing to offer. It's pretty much exactly what it seems to be in trailers. Regardless, Under the Skin is such a great Sci-fi movie! Jonathan Glazer has such a knack for making the mundane horrific.

I suggest you guys watching a silent film! With The Public Enemy (1931) being your oldest movie, you have never done one on this show. I don't want to recommend too many, but here are a few that are on my Favorite Films of All Time list: 1. Sherlock Jr. (1924) - Buster Keaton comedy that's only 45 minutes long. The special effects he was able to employ will knock your company-branded socks off. 2. Metropolis (1927) - This clocks in at over 2 hours so maybe try the comedy first, but this is monumental in terms of science fiction. 3. Sunrise: A Song of Two Human (1927) - The one and only Academy Award winner for Best Unique and Artistic Picture back at the 1st Awards. This was made at the tail end of the silent film era so these filmmakers were running on all cylinders with the technology of their day. So many wow moments from a cinematography perspective. These are just a few. I would start with the Keaton if you're feeling some trepidation with silent films (Chaplin films are also good!).

Saw Jennifer's Body a couple of years ago for the first time and did enjoy it. Movie Club suggestion: The Company of Wolves

Triangle of Sadness

I know plenty of people who LOVE Jennifer's Body, and I'd say in the last 2 years or so it reached zeitgeist level where now everyone has at least heard the name. I'd say a good rule should be not to talk shit on something unless you've seen it tho.

I’d probably suggest Longlegs just because I think it’d be a great discussion for a recent horror movie that’s been mentioned for the marketing.

I would suggest back to Kevin smith…. Jersey girl or tusk

I will fight the urge to recommend a thousand movies. Monster (2023) - japanese movie , absolutely beautiful - its one of those movies that the less you know the better but its about a young teen boy who starts acting strange which causes his widowed mother to be concerned. Y Tu Mama Tambien - yeah the movie is very horny but similar to what Rocco said about Under the skin, this movie is perfectly executed.

Another thing that becomes clear on the rewatch of this movie is the shot of the ant at the beginning of the movie. The ant's all black body being similar to what we in the end see what the aliens look like.

Also, People’s Joker is now available online VOD/to rent, would love to hear y’all’s thoughts on that for movie club!!

I have heard a lot of people talk about Jennifer’s Body as being an actual cult classic or more subversive than it was marketed as. I feel like Sam Raimi’s movie Drag Me To Hell (which I wanna say came out around the same time?) was also a victim of that, as was Spring Breakers in that I feel like the marketing did those movies dirty

I was in high school when Jennifer's Body came out and was too young to see it in theaters but me and all my other little boy friends were so excited to rent it OnDemand
