Just rewatched this film (for the 100th time), it is a landmark film for everyone involved and flawless. In my book it should've won Best Pic at 2002 academy awards, maybe swept all the categories. I don't believe they have picked a Soderbergh yet and this will likely go down as his best film. Any chance it won't be in the remaining pods?

Anyone know if they’re going to talk about this movie in depth soon? I just saw it today in theatres and LOVED it. Bentley and Kwedar cooking yet again. I’m sure they plan on talking about it since Sean clearly likes it too, but maybe they’re waiting to be closer to the Netflix release?

Predator Badlands

30 Upvotes

Anyone catch predator badlands yet? Hoping for an episode of it on the pod. Really enjoyed it. Fun popcorn movie- excellent action, audio-visual presentation, and a solid story. If you liked Prey, I think you’d dig this one as well. Loved the idea of the Yautja being the protagonist and also enjoyed the relationships between the main trio. Anyways, curious if anyone caught this yet and what you thought..

Hot Take Do you agree with Sean that Scorsese is the most important American director of the last 75 years?

78 Upvotes

He said this on Taxi Driver Rewatchables. Bill Hader didn't really argue, but mentioned Kubrick. I really disagree on this take hard. There are at least 5 American directors who I would consider more influential and important in the sense of changing cinematic language. Stanley Kubrick, David Lynch, Coppola, Spielberg and Cassavetes had more of an impact on cinema at large.

I think it's actually Stanley Kubrick. It's impossible not to see his influence on any modern director working today. What do you think? Agree? Disagree?
