After a brief hiatus, our coverage of 2021 continues! This time we're discussing Licorice Pizza from Paul Thomas Anderson, starring Alana Haim and Cooper Hoffman.

We both appreciate Ridley Scott and admire how prolific he is, but his movies can be hit or miss (for us). In this episode we discuss how The Last Duel, starring Matt Damon, Adam Driver, and Jodie Comer, stands up against his extensive body of work.

In this episode we review Nightmare Alley, the latest film from acclaimed director Guillermo del Toro starring Bradley Cooper, Cate Blanchett, and Rooney Mara (among many other notable performers).

For the first time (that we know about), Joel Coen has directed a movie with zero collaboration from his brother Ethan, The Tragedy of Macbeth starring Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand. How did he do? Does it offer the quality we've come to expect from the Coens, or is Joel hopelessly lost without his brother?

The French Dispatch is the latest film written and directed by Wes Anderson, starring about a billion people. If you want to know who's in it, you'll have to listen to this episode; there's no other way to find out.

Don't Look Up is the third film from writer/director Adam McKay that isn't a pure comedy. We had mixed feelings about his previous 2 films, The Big Short and Vice. Is the third time a charm? Let's discuss!

Back in season 3 we reviewed The Wolf of Snow Hollow, from writer/director/actor Jim Cummings. We both loved it and were very excited to see his next film, The Beta Test. How does it compare, and is it worth beaming up?

In this episode we review The Power of the Dog, from acclaimed director Jane Campion, starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Plemons, and Kodi Smit-McPhee.
