In episode one hundred of movies imo, Ben, Brandon, and Daniel yell over each other about three movies they’d wished they’d had the chance to discuss on the podcast: Ben offers up Lars von Trier’s devastating death penalty musical DANCER IN THE DARK, Brandon brings Steven Spielberg’s bleak dystopian fantasia AI: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE to the table, and Daniel serves to the group Alan J. Pakula’s paranoid thriller/podcast outro feature KLUTE. On this final episode of the podcast, they also list their ten individual favorite new-to-me films discussed while on the mic.
