Crime 101
Episode 75: Crime 101
If you’re a fan of cruising the 101 around Los Angeles in a fast car and lifting millions in diamonds, boy, do we have a film for you! It’s Crime 101, starring Chris Hemsworth, Halle Berry, and Mark Ruffalo, and is a return to the gritty crime dramas of the ’70s, but with a modern visual style. What more could anyone ask for? Actually, if we didn’t have notes for the director, we wouldn’t have a podcast. Stratis loved almost everything about this movie, but was hung up on just how damned pretty Hemsworth is. It could be jealousy, but he tries to make a point. Tina goes off on why automakers shouldn’t install transmission gear dials in cars – they just don’t look cool in a car chase. We both wish the ending wasn’t so perfect, but maybe that says more about us than the film.

Mercy
Episode 74: Mercy
Mercy shows us the future of artificial intelligence criminal court, DUN-DUN, where you have ninety minutes to prove you didn’t commit murder or the state executes you on the spot. We start off with Stratis giving his personal power rankings of all the famous Hollywood Chrises. Chris Pratt doesn’t fare well, which makes the fact that we spent most of this 3-D film looking at him just a few feet in front of us so much more painful. Tina has issues with this movie too, and thinks it would have made a better escape room story or video game plot than what she just watched. We end up spending more time talking about everything other than Mercy, and that should give you an idea of how much we loved this movie.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple
Episode 73: 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple
Somehow we returned to the post-apocalyptic zombie horror film world and this time we brought a guest - Kaye, Tina’s roommate. 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple gets everyone riled up and ready to talk. Stratis starts us off by wondering if this movie even has a plot, but we all loved Ralph Fiennes’ performance as a doctor who befriends the biggest zombie we’ve ever seen. We end up needing to do some bleeping! Surprisingly, Stratis sees hope in this dystopian future, while Tina thinks humans are the real demons and Kaye tries to keep us all in line. Before the show ends, Tina offers a dark history lesson on Jimmy Savile and how he makes his way into this horror film.

Alien: Romulus
On this week’s car ride home, we debate whether this movie is a humanist-centered comment on our society or just a really nasty, slimy horror film. Guess who picks which. Stratis was drowsy for the first 30 minutes and then couldn’t even blink for the next 90 minutes. Tina explains her love of xenomorphs and we both talk too much about alien genitals. If you’re ready for an-amped up alien encounter, come along with us.
