Let’s ”Taste” ’The Menu’ So We Don’t Get Hungry

Joshua and Phoebe Yell About Movies! is back! What's with all the exclamation points? We watched the new release film The Menu starring Ralph Fiennes as a chef of a restaurant that only serves once a day on an island only accessible by boat that people pay thousands of dollars to eat at. He secretly has a grudge and wants to kill everyone on todays menu but just wait until the main course! 

Anna Taylor Joy stars opposite Nicholas Hoult who brought her as his date. She was the one person who wasn't supposed to be there.

It's not quite the biting satire it wants to be, but its copious amounts of often gruesome fun!

Nicolas Cage and the Unbearable Weight of a Massively Great Movie

We've been waiting for this film for a long time and now that it's out we can tell you with no spoilers that The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent starring Nicolas Cage and Pedro Pascal is the funniest film of all time if you are a Nicolas Cage superfan which we apparently are.

 

Watch the film and see if you can catch every reference with us! Laugh along at the funniest film of all time with a plot that plays up every element of what it means to be a Nicolas Cage film.

All At Once Everything Everywhere Became the Movie For Our Times

Hey Movie Listeners!

 

Walk. Don't run to your nearest movie theater because Everything Everywhere All At Once is not streaming everywhere and its breathtaking combination of Matrix Style universe building with Jackie Chan style martial arts fighting crossed with a real family drama about love and acceptance will make your heart and brain explode into a thousand pieces!

 

Starring: Michelle Yeoh the legend, Ke Huy Quan ie Short Round from Indiana Jones and Data from The Goonies returning to Hollywood for the first time in 25 years, Stephanie Hsu as the daughter that was wronged and became a giant meanie and tried to destroy the universe, Jamie Lee Curtis in a dialed-in pitch-perfect comic performance and James Hong as the grandfather that didn't accept his daughter or granddaughter for who they were and started this whole mess.

Coda won Best Picture and Our Hearts and we say ”Why Will Smith? Why?” with Phoebe’s Dad George!

Hey Movie Yelling Listeners!

 

This week's episode was recorded the day after the Academy Awards, yes the same awards with the now infamous Will Smith slapping Chris Rock moment that you, me, and everyone you know could not stop talking about. 

But we also could not stop talking about Coda, a film that we watched the night before the Oscars that won Best Picture as well as Best Supporting Actor for the father in this film, Troy Kotsur. 

It's a beautiful film about a family of deaf fishermen and the struggle with their hearing daughter who they need to run the fishing business, but she wants to go to college to become a singer. It's a movie not just about following your dreams, but about what do you owe the family who gave you the opportunity to have those dreams.

This is one manufactured drama that felt real and seeing the struggles firsthand of full-time sign language use in a world that doesn't know sign language was eye-opening.

 

In conclusion, we loved it! And yes, along with our very special guest star, actor George Kmeck (Phoebe's Dad) we did yell about Will Smith also.

 

Hey, it's a living!

It’s the Great Oscar Preview Charlie Brown

In this episode, Joshua and Phoebe sit down with comedian D.B. Frick and have fun discussing each of the films nominated for Best Picture at tomorrow's Academy Awards for 2022! Many of the films we had already seen, and the ones we hadn't we watched the trailer for on the spot. We gave each film a speedy review in order to provide a forecast for who is going to take home the little gold statues, and we had fun getting lost along the way sometimes. 

Listen along with us and place your bets for who you think is going to win! Spoiler - It's not Don't Look Up!

It’s a Honeymoon Return Twofer As We Review The Lost Daughter and Old Henry

Hey gang!

 

Phoebe and I had the time of our lives on our recent honeymoon in Hawaii and took away memories that will last a lifetime, including watching the films The Lost Daughter and Old Henry on the plane. Naturally, we decided to yell about them.

The Lost Daughter is a haunting, slow-moving, moody meditative piece on what being a mother means from a woman (Olivia Coleman) who never wanted to be a mom and how it still affects her to this day. Watch it if you're in the mood for deep thoughts and sorrow.

 

Old Henry stars Tim Blake Nelson as an old west farmer trying to put his violent past behind him and protect his son after taking in a wounded mysterious stranger. It wouldn't be an old western without a little bloodshed and Old Henry doesn't disappoint with one of the most visceral and violent ending sequences seen in this type of genre. It's only an hour and a half long and gets right to the point. What else could you ask for from a film?

You Either Want to See the Matrix Resurrections or You Don’t

We will likely never be able to sway you as to whether or not to watch the Matrix Resurrections but we had a lot of fun watching it and talking about it. Keanu Reaves and Carrie-Anne Moss form the emotional core of this sometimes curiously introspective but extremely fun trip down memory lane back to the Matrix and new adventures.

The Power of the Dog is a Scary Family Based Western with Guest Rockabilly Legend Johnny Dowd

This week we were visited by a true rock and roll legend. Legendary noise-rock, folk, rockabilly hero 73-year old Johnny Dowd of Ithaca, New York came on the show to talk about the uncomfortable and twisting western picture The Power of The Dog directed by Jane Campion and starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Jesse Plemons, and Kirsten Dunst.

 

The Power of the Dog confronts many themes – homosexuality, family loyalty, loneliness, regret and mixes them up into a volatile stew that confronts the audience and us this week.

 

Did we yell about this movie? We sure did!

Steven Spielberg‘s Re-imagined West Side Story is Really Everybody‘s Story

There were a lot of whispers and rumors about the new Steven Spielberg film revival of the all-time classic musical West Side Story from 1961 especially since this was Spielberg's first attempt at a musical. Those fears were calmed somewhat when in September original screenwriter, the late Stephen Sondheim saw it and said in a Late Night with Stephen Colbert interview that "it's really terrific."

Phoebe and I watched the new film an hour before the recording of this podcast and we are delighted to tell you that it is powerful, funny, heartbreaking and honestly feels monumentally vital and important.

 

Also, we cried a lot because we believe in love.

 

This week we were in discussion with good friends and Broadway aficionados Michael and Dennis Scott-Torbet and recorded the episode live from our apartment on the Upper West Side just steps from many of the locations shown or depicted in the film.
