Two Reels Podcast Joseph Bien-Kahn, Rod Bastanmehr, David Rubin

This week, Joey picked two stories of Michiganders who head to the coast with big dreams and big trouble on their tail: 2021's viral-Twitter-thread-adaption 'Zola' and the Quentin Tarantino-penned, Tony Scott-directed classic 'True Romance.' As we watched Taylour Paige and Patricia Arquette, three words went through our minds endlessly, repeating themselves like a broken record: "you're so cool, you're so cool, you're so cool...."

For this week's pairing, Rod builds a New York double feature with the 2021 movie musical 'In the Heights' and Spike Lee's timeless classic 'Do the Right Thing.' Hot days! Changing neighborhoods! And so, so much music!

For this week's episode, Davey offered up a truly deranged pairing: 2021's dalmatian-hater's prequel 'Cruella' and 1983's Miami gangster classic 'Scarface.' We talk anti-heroes and villainous protagonists, dog coats and big cat interiors, and scheme ways to Freaky Friday a large pile of coke into a Disney movie.

Angelina Jolie x Frances McDormand. Taylor Sheridan x The Coen Brothers. Little Finger x Steve Buscemi. This week, Davey and Joey pair the forest fire thriller 'Those Who Wish Me Dead' with the 1996 classic 'Fargo'. And then, Rod comes off the top rope with an alternative pairing. We're podcasting... Darn tootin'!

It's videogame week at Two Reels. Davey pairs the newest entry in the Mortal Kombat Extended Universe with the first in the seemingly endless Resident Evil franchise. The pairing nearly killed Joey, fresh off his second Moderna shot....

Fresh off his second vaccine, Rod arrives with the wildest of double pairings: Adam Wingard's 'Godzilla vs. Kong' with Mike Nichols' 1966 classic 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?'. Godzilla, King Kong, Richard Burton, and Elizabeth Taylor — it's Apex Predator Week on the Two Reels Podcast!
