    Obsession & The Horror Of 'Nice Guys'

    Obsession — who hasn't seen it at this point? Curry Barker's $750K horror film has made over $400 million, minted a star in Inde Navarrette, and started a fight about what to even call this genre. This week we dig into the BTS trivia, the scenes we can't stop thinking about, and the Indian censor board's missing 36 seconds. Then we get into nice guy horror itself: the worst Pokémon evolution you've ever heard, Bollywood's hypermasculine inverse, and the Indian remake of Obsession that lives in our heads. (It involves IIT coaching.) Caution: ⚠️ Full spoilers for Obsession, light spoilers for Barbarian and Companion. Let us know what you thought of it in the comments!

    How Pierce Brosnan Rescued James Bond (And Then Broke Him)

    Pierce Brosnan rescued James Bond from a six-year exile, made him bigger than he'd ever been, and then broke him so badly the franchise had to start over. On this episode we discuss his rather strange run as Bond from the mid-90s to the early 2000s, get into all four films — GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough, and Die Another Day — and dig into both the series' complicated past and its resurgence after his run as cinema's most famous spy.

    What Makes A Good War Movie?

    In this episode of Two Please, we break down what makes a good war movie by looking at four key things: nuance, realism, emotional storytelling, and whether the film ultimately feels anti-war. From Saving Private Ryan and 1917 to Dunkirk, Letters from Iwo Jima, Jojo Rabbit, and Oppenheimer, we talk about the films that get it right, the ones that fall into propaganda, and why the best war movies stay with you long after the spectacle ends.
