I'm Thinking of Watching Things

It's Happening Again. The pod is rearing it's ugly head right in time for the end-of-the-year shebang. This week, we kinda just shoot the shit. Will we talk about movies? Maybe. Will it be movies you want to hear people talk about? Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe we'll talk about Tubi Original Celebrity Exorcism (2021). Fuck you.    Caleb: @caleb4tribe on Twitter and Letterboxd  Alicia: @aliciadevero on Twitter and @aliciadev on Letterboxd  Arjun: @rjonfsicher on Twitter and @ArjunFischer on Letterboxd  Brooke: @reesbrooke1 on Twitter and you can DM her for access to her notes app.

Well, it's the podcast season finale. Hopefully. We'll pick things up once life settles down a bit for the cohosts- or perhaps you can expect random catch-up episodes here and there. In the meantime, we check out M. Night Shyamalan's latest, Old. And we're pretty positive on it!  Caleb: @caleb4tribe on Twitter and Letterboxd Alicia: @aliciadevero on Twitter and @aliciadev on Letterboxd Arjun: @rjonfsicher on Twitter and @ArjunFischer on Letterboxd Brooke: @reesbrooke1 on Twitter and you can DM her for access to her notes app. Erik: @erikwhales on Twitter and @feverdog on Letterboxd

It's been teased all summer, but it's finally here: we talk Star Wars. Brooke has been watching through them for the first time, Davidson has seen them all a million times over, and Caleb just had gum surgery so he tries not to speak too much (very difficult for him). Listen for Brooke's wild takes galore, including hating yoda, loving Jar Jar, hating the original trilogy, and more.  Brooke: @reesbrooke1 on Twitter and you can DM her for access to her notes app. Caleb: @caleb4tribe on Twitter and Letterboxd Davidson: @davidsonrnorris on Twitter and @risnor on Letterboxd

Come on in, make yourself at home in this intimate 1 on 1 discussion of the movie year so far. Friend of the show Pete joins the pod, Caleb lectures about whatever obscure foreign cinema he's found, and everybody has a nice time.  Links: Caleb/Pete Horror Short Film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoZZ22HEj7k  Shiva Baby: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fxDLHOwt5I  Malcolm & Marie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iO_f2n8VFFY  No Sudden Move: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Igmaqjyi8C8  Pete: @pete_deaver on Twitter & @petedeaver on Letterboxd   Caleb: @caleb4tribe on Twitter & Letterboxd

This week, we're taking a short break from our "Race to Kane" series in order to dive into Steven Soderbergh's latest release on HBO Max. We try to keep it short this week even as we try and discuss every actor individually.    Caleb: @caleb4tribe on Twitter and Letterboxd Alicia: @aliciadevero on Twitter and @aliciadev on Letterboxd Arjun: @rjonfsicher on Twitter and @ArjunFischer on Letterboxd Brooke: @reesbrooke1 on Twitter and you can DM her for access to her notes app. Erik: @erikwhales on Twitter and @feverdog on Letterboxd

Ya know how in quarantine, we were all sitting around thinking “tomorrow and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace from day to day”? Well, to stave off that nihilistic emptiness, we started a podcast! And finally, the pod touches on one of the world’s greatest filmmakers Akira Kurosawa. Evan joins the pod for the second week in a row to continue his proselytizing of Shakespeare, Alicia hops back on the pod to dole out some Noh-ledge, and Caleb is also there. So far, the Sequence is this: Widows (2018) --(Robert Duvall)-->> Rambling Rose (1992) --(Diane Ladd)-->> Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974) --(Jodie Foster) -->> Contact (1997) --(William Fichtner)-->> Heat (1995) --(Deborah L.

The Race (ha!) to Kane continues! This week, a rag-tag crew including Devin and Evan discusses Baz Luhrmann's Romeo + Juliet (1996) by way of Claire Danes. Evan flexes his Shakespeare knowledge, Devin relays the experience of his decennial Romeo + Juliet watch, Caleb somehow links it to Tarantino, and Brooke bites her thumb at Yoda.  So far, the Sequence is this: Widows (2018) --(Robert Duvall)-->> Rambling Rose (1992) --(Diane Ladd)-->> Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974) --(Jodie Foster) -->> Contact (1997) --(William Fichtner)-->> Heat (1995) --(Deborah L.

Dead wife? Grief-fueled depression? Sexual banter with a 16-year old? Oh no! This week, Anna Campion of Oh No! with Anna Campion joins us to discuss yet another forgotten 90s drama that nobody has watched since 1996, To Gillian on Her 37th Birthday (1996). Brooke does a bang-up job filling in for Caleb, who's unable to make it because he was too busy winning a sand castle competition that he prepped way too much for. Yet another curio on our (leisurely amble) to Kane, welcome to the pod! So far, the Sequence is this: Widows (2018) --(Robert Duvall)-->> Rambling Rose (1992) --(Diane Ladd)-->> Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974) --(Jodie Foster) -->> Contact (1997) --(William Fichtner)-->> Heat (1995) --(Deborah L.

You, the listener: Why'd I get mixed up with that pod? Us, the pod: Cause they got a GREAT CAST... and you got your head all the way up it!  This week, our leisurely amble to Kane continues with the '95 crime classic Heat (1995). Erik joins the pod and is our saving grace while the rest of us suffer from the burnout of living normal lives in America. Next week, Anna will join us to talk about ... a surprise! We'll announce what that surprise is on our twitter.  So far, the Sequence is this: Widows (2018) --(Robert Duvall)-->> Rambling Rose (1992) --(Diane Ladd)-->> Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974) --(Jodie Foster) -->> Contact (1997) --(William Fichtner)-->> Heat (1995) --(???)

Once again, I apologize for my (Caleb) audio in this one. I tried to spot check it and make it bearable, but it's annoying for sure. Anyways, that aside, we have a great episode for you today! Contact is yet another stop on our Journey to Citizen Kane, and it was a worthwhile one for sure. Later in the ep, Erik Wells joins us to choose next week's movie - Heat (1995) by way of William Fichtner. So far, the Sequence is this: Widows (2018) --(Robert Duvall)-->> Rambling Rose (1992) --(Diane Ladd)-->> Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974) --(Jodie Foster) -->> Contact (1997) --(William Fichtner)-->> Heat (1995) Caleb: @caleb4tribe on Twitter and Letterboxd Alicia: @aliciadevero on Twitter and @aliciadev on Letterboxd Arjun: @rjonfsicher on Twitter and @ArjunFischer on Letterboxd Brooke: @reesbrooke1 on Twitter and you can DM her for access to her notes app.

I wonder- how did we end up with a smart ass podcast like this? We got pregnant (with the idea of one)! This week, we tackle Martin Scorsese's 1974 Romance/Comedy/Drama Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore. We all loved it, Alicia more than anyone- despite all of us being tired train-wrecks this week. Arjun, come back to us. The Race to Kane continues! So far, the Sequence is this: Widows (2018) --(Robert Duvall)-->> Rambling Rose (1992) --(Diane Ladd)-->> Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974) --(Jodie Foster) -->> Contact (1997) Caleb: @caleb4tribe on Twitter and Letterboxd Alicia: @aliciadevero on Twitter and @aliciadev on Letterboxd Arjun: @rjonfsicher on Twitter and @ArjunFischer on Letterboxd Brooke: @reesbrooke1 on Twitter and you can DM her for access to her notes app.

Good. God. We watched this extremely odd movie so you don't have to. This is the second week in "The Race to Kane" wherein each week, a host will select a movie based off a filmography connection to someone in the last movie. Arjun gave Brooke Robert Duvall's filmography to pick from, and she chose... this. The 90s, man, the 90s, when Laura Dern could be jerked off by a 13 year old Lukas Haas and get an Oscar Nom for it. Very weird stuff. Thanks, Brooke. So far, the Sequence is this: Widows (2018) --(Robert Duvall)-->> Rambling Rose (1992) --(Diane Ladd)-->> Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974) Caleb: @caleb4tribe on Twitter and Letterboxd Alicia: @aliciadevero on Twitter and @aliciadev on Letterboxd Arjun: @rjonfsicher on Twitter and @ArjunFischer on Letterboxd Brooke: @reesbrooke1 on Twitter and you can DM her for access to her notes app.

A New Series Has Begun! This week, we kick off "The Race to Kane" wherein each week, a host will select a movie based off a filmography connection to someone in the last movie. Our starting point? Arjun selected Widows (2018)! In this episode, we discuss how great it is, and Brooke reveals how wrong she is by hating it. And I mean hating it. No matter- Brooke gets to pick the next movie based on Arjun's chosen connector. Spoilers for the listen- Arjun selected Robert Duvall (as Brooke had never heard of him ?!), and Brooke selected Rambling Rose (1991) as the next movie we'll talk about.  So far, the Sequence is this: Widows (2018) --(Robert Duvall)-->> Rambling Rose (1992) Caleb: @caleb4tribe on Twitter and Letterboxd Alicia: @aliciadevero on Twitter and @aliciadev on Letterboxd Arjun: @rjonfsicher on Twitter and @ArjunFischer on Letterboxd Brooke: @reesbrooke1 on Twitter and you can DM her for access to her notes app.

The crew takes a step back this week and chooses to just hang out and talk about what they've been watching. We talk about how Brooke is a colonizer, Mamma Mia, The Warriors, Eric Rohmer, Signs, the Oscars, the Empty Man, Chronicle, Widows, Wes Anderson/The Grand Budapest Hotel, Splash, and more.  Caleb: @caleb4tribe on Twitter and Letterboxd Alicia: @aliciadevero on Twitter and @aliciadev on Letterboxd Arjun: @rjonfsicher on Twitter and @ArjunFischer on Letterboxd Brooke: @reesbrooke1 on Twitter and you can DM her for access to her notes app.

I know what you are all thinking: \"People don\'t talk enough about the Oscars... what if my favorite group of non-experts weighed in on things they have no clue about and called it content?\" Well folks, we work to please. Brooke is on hiatus this week, so Arjun, Alicia, and Caleb pontificate on this years Oscars for a whole episode. That is until Caleb and Alicia gang up and bully Arjun enough to where he leaves. Such is the pod. \r\n\nCaleb: @caleb4tribe on Twitter and Letterboxd\r\n\nAlicia: @aliciadevero on Twitter and @aliciadev on Letterboxd\r\n\nArjun: @rjonfsicher on Twitter and @ArjunFischer on Letterboxd\r\n\nBrooke: @reesbrooke1 on Twitter and you can DM her for access to her notes app.\r\n

OH NO! We have a very special guest on today, the one-of-a-kind Anna Campion, host of Oh No! with Anna Campion. She joins the crew to discuss a new film that instantly shot up to her top 5 films of all time, Shiva Baby. Listen for insightful analysis, personal story teasers, Arjun\'s power outage, and immediate retribution for talking smack anytime somebody\'s zoom image freezes. \r\n\nCaleb: @caleb4tribe on Twitter and Letterboxd\r\n\nAlicia: @aliciadevero on Twitter and @aliciadev on Letterboxd\r\n\nArjun: @rjonfsicher on Twitter and @ArjunFischer on Letterboxd\r\n\nBrooke: @reesbrooke1 on Twitter and you can DM her for access to her notes app.\r\n\nAnna: @iamthecampion and @ohnothepod on Twitter and @annacamps on Letterboxd\r\n

We\'re off the rails with this one. After a brief hiatus and without Caleb, the crew returns to Cage March. Except it\'s not March, and we didn\'t talk about Nic Cage for about half of the episode. That attention went to one Mr. Kong and another Mr. Godzilla. It\'s a wacky chaotic episode, a fitting way to end the Cage marathon (if indeed this is the end). \r\n\nCaleb: @caleb4tribe on Twitter and Letterboxd\r\n\nAlicia: @aliciadevero on Twitter and @aliciadev on Letterboxd\r\n\nArjun: @rjonfsicher on Twitter and @ArjunFischer on Letterboxd\r\n\nBrooke: @reesbrooke1 on Twitter and you can DM her for access to her notes app.\r\n

This week on Cage March, the crew pits Nic Cage\'s 2 Oscar Nominated performances against each other. Adaptation is one of Arjun\'s favorite movies, so he\'s psyched to chat about it. Alicia defends Leaving Las Vegas (she takes an adamantly pro-Boozy tits stance). Devin keeps us grounded as always. Brooke is somewhere in the ether. Good episode as always. \r\n\nDevin: @trofimov on Letterboxd\r\n\nCaleb: @caleb4tribe on Twitter and Letterboxd\r\n\nAlicia: @aliciadevero on Twitter and @aliciadev on Letterboxd\r\n\nArjun: @rjonfsicher on Twitter and @ArjunFischer on Letterboxd\r\n\nBrooke: @reesbrooke1 on Twitter and you can DM her for access to her notes app.\r\n

Cage March marches on as the crew (minus an Arjun, plus an Erik) tackles Romantic Comedy Cage. The paring starts with Valley Girl, an LA teen rom-com featuring Nic Cage\'s 1983 breakout role as Randy, an alt-punk God. The other film is Moonstruck, Cage & Cher\'s 1987 outsized Italian American Rom-Com that gave Cher her Oscar and features a Cage at a crucial apex between young hot boy Cage and the crazy Cage we know and love. This episode also feature\'s Alicia\'s roommate Emma, so that\'s cool.\r\n\nCaleb: @caleb4tribe on Twitter and Letterboxd\r\n\nAlicia: @aliciadevero on Twitter and @aliciadev on Letterboxd\r\n\nArjun: @rjonfsicher on Twitter and @ArjunFischer on Letterboxd\r\n\nBrooke: @reesbrooke1 on Twitter and you can DM her for access to her notes app.\r\n\nErik: @erikwhales on Twitter and @feverdog on Letterboxd\r\n
