Kelsi and Trey discuss Ridley Scott's final (?) installment in the Alien franchise with 'Alien: Covenant.' This movie expands on the human hubris throughline of 'Prometheus' and is led by the very-great Michael Fassbender as David and Walter. The rest of the cast and crew help deliver this multi-genre nightmare with one of the great gore set pieces of the past decade.

Kelsi and Trey explore one of the great 21st century sci-fi epics in Ridley Scott's 'Prometheus.' We discuss the divisive fandom of Prometheus and 'Alien: Covenant,' the recent reclaiming of Prometheus and Covenant due to the 'Alien: Romulus' financial success, how Scott's vision of a legacy prequel actually sets a blueprint for future franchises, the power of Michael Fassbender's theater kid performance as David, the parallel of corporate and religious zealotry between Peter Weyland (Guy Pearce) and Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace), and, of course, we explore the existential questions of life. Be prepared for a ~4 hour podcast with lots of heavy conversations and fun 'Alien' lore debates!

GAME OVER, MAN! Alien August continues with Kelsi and Trey's exploration of the iconic sequel to Ridley Scott's 'Alien.' We discuss the action spectacle of 'Aliens,' and Cameron's legacy as an escapist blockbuster filmmaker, as well as how he struggles to totally realize his commentaries of a marine-Vietnam satire, the motherhood ideas, and the power dynamics of Weyland-Yutani via Burke. Regardless of the movie's contradiction, the film's action set pieces make this Sigourney Weaver-led film a memorable one, especially when Ellen Ripley leads an iconic ensemble into battle next to legendary character actors like Bill Paxton.

Kelsi and Trey discuss the legacy of the 'Alien' franchise while exploring Fede Álvarez's disappointing 'Alien: Romulus.' Outside of a few notable set pieces, and the Cailee Spaeny and David Jonsson performances, we're left surprised by this unoriginal, fan-service-heavy, mutation of Romulus' other Alien predecessors, such as Ridley Scott's Prometheus and Alien: Covenant (which are much, much more conceptually interesting and deeply angry horror movies).

Kelsi and Trey discuss Jordan Peele and Lupita Nyong'o's puzzling horror masterpiece 'Us' for 3+ hours. This conversation takes many turns, but we mostly follow the throughline of Peele's work by exploring his filmography's ambitious thematic goal of revealing the "American Dream" as an American nightmare. In 'Us,' Peele smartly subverts genres with the all-American family comedy, the home invasion thriller, and the sci-fi slasher to settle the audience into his larger American duality allegory about the effects of economic disparities and the tribalism that follows. We also talk about the under-appreciated Lupita Nyong'o performance as both Adelaide and Red. Sign up for Patreon below!

Kelsi and Trey explore the cotton-candy colored world of 'Poor Things' starring the singular Emma Stone. We discuss the divisive discourse about the film's many commentaries, such as its choices on Bella's age, the sexual and class politics, the landscape of fragile men, as well as the film's commercially smart exploitation of leftist iconography, as a movie that is primarily interested in the power of constructs. And, oh yeah, we talk about the filmographies of Mark Ruffalo, Willem Dafoe, Emma Stone, and some other stuff about Lanthimos needing to make a Magic Tree House franchise...a lot to discuss!

Kelsi and Trey begin WEIRD GIRL SUMMER by discussing the bizarre mind of Yorgos Lanthimos' tragicomedy 'The Favourite.' This unique period piece explores the cost of absolute power and is memorable for its transactional love triangle between leads Emma Stone, Rachel Weisz, and Olivia Colman.

Kelsi and Trey discuss the entertaining Jake Gyllenhaal legal thriller on Apple TV+ 'Presumed Innocent' and then explore Lee Isaac Chung's legacy remake/reboot (?) 'Twisters' starring Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones. Both are remolding their previous 1990s IP-- Presumed Innocent certainly had its exciting moments, but we mostly talk about how Twisters fell flat for us as a formulaic spectacle with a performative human story at its center.

Trey explores Oz Perkins' Longlegs starring Nicolas Cage and Maika Monroe. This episode covers the hyperbolic reaction to 2024s newest horror-suspense film, the atmospheric feat of its world-building, and why the film struggles to balance its ambitious commentary on the serial killer genre with its underbaked, supernatural 3rd act.

Trey explores Fx and Hulu's 'The Bear' Seasons 1, 2, and deep dives 3. The Bear has been quality TV for 2 seasons; a cohesive workplace psychodrama that understands the service industry led by Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri. With evocative filmmaking, memorable character work, and an exceptional kitchen atmosphere, the showrunners thoughtfully crafted America’s new-favorite, chaotic found family through its first two seasons. However, season 3 is very, very messy!

Kelsi and Trey discuss Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise, Sunset, and Midnight in a ~4 hour deep dive about god, romance, and Kelsi being good at laser tag! We walk through this trilogy by exploring Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy's characters Jessie and Celine as they go through a tragic/romantic coming-of-age journey. These films span 20 years with complex conversations about the human condition and we try our best to explain why these movies are so special while also having unexamined flaws with each new iteration.

Kelsi and Trey discuss Richard Linklater's career, style, and sensibilities in this deep dive of his newest film 'Hit Man'. Linklater returns to form as he attempts to satirize an American obsession with violence and true crime, while also empowering the ability to express ones self. Ultimately, the movie lives and dies by the magnetic performances from Glen Powell and Adria Arjona.

Kelsi and Trey discuss why they are TEAM KOBA (mostly) in Matt Reeves' shakespearean, religious epic Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. We explore how the film is impressive in pacing, tone, and digital/practical world-building while also having moments of not fully realizing its character studies, especially with Koba, while still delivering one of the all-time great science fiction sequels.
