Recorded 14 April 2024
This episode contains discussion of suicide and suicidal ideation during the Persona segment
Sports fans, I know we've said this before, but this episode contains one of the toughest matchups we've encountered yet; that 122-minute runtime bears that out. We also get to talk about Wes Anderson for the first (only?) time. Also contained herein: both hosts' all-time Alien franchise power rankings, Derek's hottest Wes Anderson take, an attempt at cataloguing the many facets of an all-time art film, and only slightly defamatory talk about Stephen King. In short, another classic episode! RIP to the great Shelley Duvall.
This week's matchups:
Aliens v. The Grand Budapest Hotel
The Shining v. Persona
Searching for Shelley Duvall: The Reclusive Icon on Fleeing Hollywood and the Scars of Making ‘The Shining’
See the bracket [SPOILERS AHEAD]
