champion, Drew! &nbsp;The three movie nerds discuss why the classic 80's action film still holds up thirty years later. &nbsp;Here's a hint - the excellent screenplay is a big reason. &nbsp;This talk ranges from Alan Rickman's bad guy persona, to a production that kept rewriting itself as it went on, and just how earned was it to have Reginald VelJohnson's character kill that villain at the end?

the brainchild of Boots Riley, a hip hop artist who's been dreaming up this film for many years. &nbsp;The discussion covers the machinations of the film's premise and the metaphor of a "white voice",

recalls certain moments of THE HURT LOCKER. &nbsp;Ben Foster and Thomasin McKenzie give very natural performances as the father-daughter who try to cling to each other, although the daughter begins to feel a pull once she reaches Portland. &nbsp;A wonderful film by Debra Granik.</p> <br /><p><a target="_blank" href="http://directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/id/6850674/tdest_id/241151">Check out

Sheridan goes all in as the author of this second chapter and Josh Brolin and Benicio Del Toro reprise their characters. &nbsp;But there is a certain void left by the absence of Emily Blunt, Roger Deakins and undoubtedly, Denis Villeneuve. &nbsp;Still, Andrew found a lot to like about the film. &nbsp;It's a compelling potboiler. &nbsp;But Phil was not so fond of it. &nbsp;He did have fun talking about Josh Brolin's frequent appearances as politically right-wing figures in film. &nbsp;</p> <br /><p><a target="_blank"

in the ever-diluted Star Wars franchise. &nbsp;Andrew and Phil have a joyful rant against this film and the larger epidemic of movies that rehash popular culture in a desperate grab for our dollars. &nbsp;Alden Ehrenreich gave a great comedic performance in HAIL CAESAR!, but he cannot fill Harrison Ford's shoes. &nbsp;This episode is plus-sized for your listening pleasure - hope you like it!</p>

to send ITQ into a tizzy. &nbsp;Ramsay's new film YOU WERE NEVER REALLY HERE blurs the line between reality and...not. &nbsp;There are definitely times in this film where it's not clear if something is really happening, and our hosts are cool with that. &nbsp;Sound and visuals are both used with style, and Phoenix's complex performance is equally arresting.</p> <br /><p><a target="_blank"

number of years ago. &nbsp;Deirdre pulls no punches in her assessment that Hollywood is a hostile place for women. &nbsp;The root of the cause, Haj explains is not only that people with a hunger for power often find their way to the industry...but the industry itself reflects society.</p> <br /> You can&nbsp;<a href="http://traffic.libsyn.com/inthequeue/InTheQEp0320_DHaj.mp3" rel="noopener"

Hennessey, the Irish government official with a checkered past. &nbsp;Phil wanted more Jackie, while Andrew contends that the martial arts legend simply doesn't have the energy to dazzle like he used

took an old, unproduced script about murder by Joel and Ethan Coen and tacked on an underdeveloped plot thread about racism to fight white nationalists emboldened by Trump's election. &nbsp;The result is two competing stories that never coalesce into a whole. &nbsp;Plus, the Coen Brothers story lacks their directing touch. &nbsp;Nobody can do a dark comedy like Joel and Ethan Coen. &nbsp;SUBURBICON

Well, you're in luck because LOTWW has both. &nbsp;Drew returns to In the Queue with yet another strange request and we are obligated to humor him. &nbsp;Psychedelic folk-rock contra dancing and a young Doctor Who are other delights of this funny horror flick. &nbsp;If you like bizarre movies, this should be your next watch.</p> <p>You can&nbsp;<a href= "http://traffic.libsyn.com/inthequeue/InTheQEp0273_LairOfTheWhiteWorm.mp3" target="_blank">download the podcast here</a>&nbsp;by right-clicking on the hypertext link and choosing "save as", or you can use the convenient player attached to this post.</p> <br /><p><a target="_blank" href="http://directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/id/5192537/tdest_id/241151">Check out this episode!</a></p>0https://in-the-q.blogspot.com/2017/03/episode-272-beauty-and-beast-2017.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Andrew)Wed, 22 Mar 2017 11:01:00 -0400tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302314576865064967.post-8029645337874207954<iframe style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/5192510/height/75/width/200/theme/legacy/autonext/no/autoplay/no/thumbnail/no/preload/no/no_addthis/no/menu/no/direction/forward/tdest_id/241151/" height="75" width="200" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" href= "https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuOSnjhw5BqYgOEb5i4uOUE5LSpqN2erjcAJNU_odGtNU_2b6tI797qTeiw8QOtPdgr3Y4tjKRSPSBNp7NrImMJCviS1YTFNLOyQyeJVPpThLYfKgxk3pvCuUpjm6BakYSsyI7TmLfX5tw/s1600/beautyandthebeast.jpg"> <img src= "https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuOSnjhw5BqYgOEb5i4uOUE5LSpqN2erjcAJNU_odGtNU_2b6tI797qTeiw8QOtPdgr3Y4tjKRSPSBNp7NrImMJCviS1YTFNLOyQyeJVPpThLYfKgxk3pvCuUpjm6BakYSsyI7TmLfX5tw/s640/beautyandthebeast.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="360" border="0" /></a></div> <p>Tale as old as time...done poorly. &nbsp;Why does this film exist? &nbsp;For the bottom line, and no other reason. &nbsp;Andrew and Phil lament the new remake of the Disney animated remake from 1991. &nbsp;Not only is this version uninspired and overlong, it adds nothing worthwhile to the story and serves only as another reminder of how Disney will continue to cannibalize it's legacy for the sake of squeezing more dollars out of every subsequent generation it discovers. &nbsp;And we have The Little Mermaid live-action remake to look forward to later this year. &nbsp;Pathetic.</p> <p>You can&nbsp;<a href= "http://traffic.libsyn.com/inthequeue/InTheQEp0272_BeautyAndTheBeast2017.mp3" target="_blank">download the podcast here</a>&nbsp;by right-clicking on the hypertext link and choosing "save as", or you can use the convenient player attached to this post.</p> <br /><p><a target="_blank" href="http://directory.libsyn.com/episode/index/id/5192510/tdest_id/241151">Check out this episode!</a></p>0https://in-the-q.blogspot.com/2017/03/episode-271-kong-skull-island.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Andrew)Fri, 17 Mar 2017 11:00:00 -0400tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302314576865064967.post-1099977519541907888<iframe style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/5175156/height/75/width/200/theme/legacy/autonext/no/autoplay/no/thumbnail/no/preload/no/no_addthis/no/menu/no/direction/forward/tdest_id/241151/" height="75" width="200" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" href= "https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgroaAl6jMlJoA5Jra4ubqbDm21KHMSSr5FGp0F0NVxWdLrhwvjDzEC4Khic6ppPkp7d85EvUoAVfsSyGGj37zK4DhgUVD5cnA9pF4k_ACIL0WCNC49YE4EMD6t4oPQ-LiJ0hXY9pwhnfsB/s1600/kong.jpg"> <img src= "https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgroaAl6jMlJoA5Jra4ubqbDm21KHMSSr5FGp0F0NVxWdLrhwvjDzEC4Khic6ppPkp7d85EvUoAVfsSyGGj37zK4DhgUVD5cnA9pF4k_ACIL0WCNC49YE4EMD6t4oPQ-LiJ0hXY9pwhnfsB/s640/kong.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="268" border="0" /></a></div> <p>This movie is a pile of garbage! &nbsp;Andrew and Phil (but especially Andrew!) tear into this new attempt at capitalizing on a once great story. &nbsp;'KSI' doesn't have the tragic sweep of the 1933 Kong, instead it's just a boring film with intermittent action scenes that keep Kong as a undeveloped minor character rather than a full-fledged star. &nbsp;Phil found the monster fight scenes to be the only interesting part of this movie, but even those left Andrew cold. &nbsp;He pegs it as the worst movie of 2017 so far. &nbsp;Some more inexplicable crimes?
