Puss in Boots: The Last Wish/Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves
It's attack of the IPs in this cineplex double feature. One movie is a spin-off of a trilogy of animated films which themselves have become an ongoing meme. The other is an adaptation of a beloved tabletop game using Marvel flavoring for every element in the movie.
Ariana and Seth talk about Puss in Boots: The Last Wish and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.

To Die For/Underground
1995 was a year with some wildly diverse films. For instance, this week we have a Gus Van Sant picture that wants to comment on the media & celebrity. The other is probably the most controversial film you've never heard of and is about the collapse of Yugoslavia done as a slapstick comedy.
Ariana and Seth talk about To Die For and Underground.

We're going back to 1995 for April to watch & re-watch some fantastic films. Our first picture is a darkly comic examination of life in the East Coast suburbs.

Ali: Fear Eats the Soul/Far From Heaven
Douglas Sirk's All That Heaven Allows wasn't considered exceptional at the time of its release but successive generations of filmmakers certainly knew what a fantastic picture it was. In this episode, Ariana & Seth discuss the two most prominent remakes of that film. The first is a German New Wave film about inter-generational & interracial love by Rainer Werner Fassbinder. The second wraps up our series on Todd Haynes as we talk about Far From Heaven.
