Linklater returns to form as he attempts to satirize an American obsession with violence and true crime, while also empowering the ability to express ones self. Ultimately, the movie lives and dies by the magnetic performances from Glen Powell and Adria Arjona.

Matt Reeves' 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' | Patreon #25
Kelsi and Trey discuss why they are TEAM KOBA (mostly) in Matt Reeves' shakespearean, religious epic Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. We explore how the film is impressive in pacing, tone, and digital/practical world-building while also having moments of not fully realizing its character studies, especially with Koba, while still delivering one of the all-time great science fiction sequels.

Customer Reviews
Film Criticism Lives!
“There no two words in the english language more harmful than ‘good job’”. Personally fatigued by the RT aggregation machine of “good jobs”, which misses so much context and richness in the discussion of film. I’m seeking more nuanced conversations and you guys are bringing a healthy balance of discussion, critiques, “done wells”, and “could’ve been betters”. Keep it coming!
My favorite film podcast
I minored in cultural studies in college and we often spent classes applying theoretical frameworks to popular culture and media. I miss those class conversations so much but this podcast makes me feel like I’m back in college in my favorite classes! I watch movies so that I can listen to episodes of this show! We don’t always agree but they always have thoughtful well-argued analysis about every topic covered. I love the hosts commitment to finding meaning and the care with which they discuss art. They are also aware of how social systems impact movies and I love that a lot, I really appreciate the contextual cultural analysis that is consistent in every episode.
Casual but well thought out
I love Trey and Kelsi! They clearly spend a lot of time thinking about movies and how they relate to our lives in general and know how to analyze content without losing the meaning. They are genuine, smart, and funny. It almost feels like you’re just chatting with a friend over lunch about the latest show or movie they watched. Highly recommend 💕
