Dinner With a Movie Blake, Jose, Brandon

This week, we get all dressed up in our furry suits and eat hot dogs and “rocket ship” shaped cookies before discussing Death to Smoochy. This behind-the-scenes look into a crazy world of depraved children's show entertainers is made even more entertaining with the great Robin Williams as Rainbow F-ing Randolph. It may not be the best-constructed story, but the comedy more than makes up for it. RIP Spinner. We love you, champ.

Bleep, blurp, bleep, bloop is Robot for breakfast burritos and cupcakes which is what we eat before discussing The Mitchells vs The Machines. This animated family road trip – robot Armageddon – father/daughter bonding – coming of age movie almost has it all. Functional dysfunction can save the world as long as there’s love and memes. We learn to treat our phones with respect so they don’t turn against us and always pick up the phone when mom calls. Mom mode is not something you want to deal with.

We’re traveling to Mother Russia this week to eat a charcuterie buffet of cheese, chocolate, tomatoes, lettuce, apples, and bread before discussing The Death of Stalin. We can’t help but root for a bad guy in this power grab for control over the lives of so many comrades. It’s nice to know that we live in a world where we can watch a good satire of Russian politics and not get

After trading our virtues for a meatball in our spaghetti, finding a cockroach in our salad, and smearing éclair cream into our nose hair; we discuss Victor/Victoria. In this crazy gay Parisian world, the accents may be all wrong, but we agree that the messages of acceptance and feminism are perfect until the second half where King’s arc outshines Victoria’s friendship with Toddy. It’s a great example of comedy filmmaking in the 1980s that even the shady dame from Seville would enjoy.

We woke up this morning not knowing what we were doing so we decided to eat Chinese food, chocolate chip cookies, and clementines before discussing Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Do we really want Joel and Clem to make it? Are they nutso enough to give it another try? We don’t know where they’re headed, but it’s the journey that matters. We all agree that Patrick has no rizz. Stealing panties and a trashbag of memories is not the way to a woman’s heart.

After attending a punk concert at an undisclosed location, we eat Mexican food (including rice and beans) and then discuss Green Room. This movie really changed Blake’s life. Can it change yours? Jose thinks the film has some great moments, but may not be rewatchable. Brandon is sad because Anton Yelchin is gone forever. We all agree that this movie is entertaining. It gives us our second choice for a desert island band, the Ain’t Rights or Aren’t Rights whichever you prefer.
