S4E1.5: Alps

I don’t think I’ll ever watch this one. Even hearing them

Paul WS Anderson, the indisputable king of wife-guy directors. Neil Marshall a solid second.

I wonder if Alp is aluding to alptraum or nightmare, alp being elf and the actors being some sort of changeling

This is not what I was told would happen when you find a stranger in the Alps.

Only Yorgos film I ever saw was "The Killing of a Sacred Deer" and I thought it was kinda whatever but it is funny to think Sunny Suljic has had a worse 'father' in movies than he did as Kratos' son.

'You can't get consent from an improv comedian unless it's an enthusiastic yes and' is one of the greatest lines in KJB history

I recently watched The fully monty for the first time, and I would love to hear the gang talk about the 90s take on masculinity. Or having watched the Spice Girls movie I need to hear everyone talk about the fits in it.

oh another suggestion that will please probably exactly one listener: the lost skeleton of cadavera. it's extremely quotable and says something about masculinity maybe

detective heart of america: the final freedom. it has merman jesus and the great nation of SLAMZONE

"The Lord alps those who alp themselves." -Groucho Marx (This is actually a Groucho line, can't remember what movie)

❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for the shout out, I really appreciate it!

I would love to hear some Mamoru Oshii episodes if you ever return to the anime well- Ghost in the Shell, Patlabor 2, Angel's Egg, there are others

Not an episode request but am entire season request: assassin season. When I was a kid, I would get euphoria at the sight of someone assembling a rifle from a suitcase. I told myself that if God didn't exist therefore morality didn't exist, I would become a hitman. (I later became an atheist but surprisingly did not become a professional killer because it still felt wrong somehow.) Day of the Jackal is incredible, and the current series says some stuff about the morality of British intelligence

crash - 1996, the cronenberg one.

sorry if this is too late to act on but i would love an episode about road house. no film has ever had more to say about masculinity, all of it completely incomprehensible

Just found out that Yorgos has a photobook of pictures taken with a large format camera and I'm trying not to obsess. Still, Xmas present idea for November, if anyone out there needs one!

I still think Persepolis would make a good companion piece to sex and the city 2 so I'm just throwing that out there.

Idea for a bonus: "The Beast" (La Bête) 2023. Surrealist. Looping. Detailed.

Devon, not sure if you're still looking for bonus episode recs but The Fifth Element could be fun if you're open to something along the lines of a sci-fi/action/comedy.

Next bonus: there is a 2014 film called The Guest which is a heap of fun. It stars Dan Stevens as a man who shows up at the house of a family grieving the loss of their son in Afghanistan, claiming to be a friend of their son. He becomes entangled in their lives and soon wreaks havoc on them and their town. It’s got a banger soundtrack, great action, Things to Say About The Military Industrial Complex, and is frequently quite funny. Strong recommend for the podcast but also just for a watch. Would tie nicely in with Rambo discussions.

I'd suggest Tank Girl it's a hot mess.

I ought to put a clause in my will about who is or is not allowed to Alp me. I have been HUNGERING for heist and caper season and I am desperate for Sneakers.

Suggestion for Dev's pick - big trouble in little China

YOU BASTARDS. I've to drop into the shop on the way home now so I can buy some Toblerone.

Not that it would have solved everything, but the Alps workers should have unionized.

Silly but genuine suggestion for Devon's next pick: National Treasure

Bonus suggestion , twilight, just have some fun with it

Bonus pick recommendation, y'all should watch The Long Kiss Goodnight.

I'm with November on this and will not tolerate this "Not impaling the roof of my mouth with toblerone" mentality that has seeped into this podcast

Devon your bonus pick should be either The Killer or Hard Boiled Also November if you are reading this, you once brought up making them watch Wong Kar Wai films, In The Mood For Love WHEN

Hey quick question, what's up with the upload schedule?

The "summit" and "enthusiastic yes and" jokes were too damn good and quick

If you need a short movie for a bonus and want anime, watch Look Back.

I can't explain why, but this movie puts me in the mind of Bottle Rocket, the first Wes Anderson movie.

Got this notification mere seconds after finishing the film. Still gobsmacked by the ending. Reeling. Floored. Thanks for the tip!

watched this the other day - keen to hear nova and the gang’s thoughts hey
