62 - Jane Campion - Two Friends

Ryan and Annie wrap up the first season of Jane Campion's Top of the Lake. Will last week's glowing review of the first half of the season hold for the latter half? Will Campion stick the landing? The answers (and tons of spoilers) lie within.

Ryan and Annie begin their binge of Jane Campion's television series Top of the Lake, a mystery-thriller from 2013 starring Elisabeth Moss. Will Campion's second swing at the thriller genre be more successful in the eyes of our intrepid hosts?

Annie and Ryan are transported back to the last few years of the Romantic poet John Keats's life in Jane Campion's historical romance from 2009. Will a return to a period piece also be a return to form for Campion? Will Annie ever find another Campion film she likes? There's only one way to find out...

A Jane Campion thriller? What does that even look like? Is it good? Annie and Ryan debate within, and along the way, dive into all sorts of hilarity. It's a fun one!

The quest to find a second Campion film that Annie likes continues! Will it be found in this strange surrealist 90's indie film? Maybe! Kate Winslet?! Harvey Keitel?! It could be brilliant!

Ryan and Annie see how Campion used her overnight success from The Piano for her next project, and whether a star-studded cast and a few big swings can win Annie back over after being so burned last time.

Ryan and Annie dive into the incredibly important 1993 Palme d'Or winner The Piano this week, but find it may not be all they were promised.

Annie and Ryan reach the early-career epic biopic from Campion chronicling the life of Janet Frame: author and survivor of cruel 20th century mental health "treatment." It is a harrowing, yet hopeful, film and the two discuss what works, what doesn't, and why it has had the staying power it has had.

Annie and Ryan push forward into new territory: the divisive, but often beloved, Sweetie! Will the surreal comedy and family drama mix work for either of our co-hosts? Find out inside!

Annie and Ryan embark on their first big filmography in a while! In this episode, Annie argues for a film she's not a fan of and Ryan argues against a film he likes. It just worked out that way.
