Mandatory Movies Bradley Redder and Kevin Falkenberg

Don’t Look Up arbitrarily has us talking about movies with directions in their titles in a special episode with our wives, Ellen Redder and Carolyn Rennie, from Barry Sonnenfeld’s obsession with the female body in Wild Wild West to our collective obsession with Viggo Mortensen’s male body in Eastern Promises.

Cry Macho has us talking about characters with alliterative names, from Eli Roth’s dreadful Donny Donowitz in Inglorious Basterds to Michael Rooker granting Grant Grant unexpected pathos in Slither.

Those Who Wish Me Dead has us talking crime witnesses pursued by the mob, from the miscasting of Jack Nicholson in The Departed to the miscasting of Tom Hanks in Road to Perdition.

Kajillionaire has us talking movies with money referenced in the title, from the stretched thin plot of Casino to the nonsensical plot of Money Train.

Promising Young Woman has us talking memorable wigs with special guest Carolyn Rennie, from Jim Carrey’s wild hair and wacky characters in Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events to Laura Harring’s blonde starlet disguise as she opens a Pandora’s Box in Mulholland Dr.

Nomadland has us talking road trips, from donuts and dirtbags in Breakdown to cancer and green screens in The Bucket List.
