    Ep. 77 - Oscars 2022 (Part 1)

    In this episode we are going to talk about the films that were featured in the Best Picture category of Oscars 2022. We will go through them one by one and give our thoughts. Getting through all of them is way too big discussion for one episode, so this is just the first part.

    Ep. 76 - Jason Bourne franchise

    I had never had that much interest in the Bourne movies, so when I got inspiration to check out some movie franchises I was positively surprised and felt stupid to have never seen them before. My mother has enjoyed them already before so this gave us a chance to talk about them. So we will go through every Bourne movie starting with The Bourne Identity (2002) and ending with Jason Bourne (2016).

    Ep. 75 - Another Round, In Treatment, Star Wars, Ocean's trilogy, The Hand of God

    We open up our episode with deeper discussion of Thomas Vinteberg's Another Round (2020). After this we indulge ourselves with several topics, including the interesting production behind the series In Treatment, my mother's experience with the first Star Wars (1977), my own experience with Sodebergh's Ocean's movies. At the end my mother gives a comment on Paolo Sorrentino's The Hand of God (2021) and her struggle with currently ongoing tv shows.

    Ep. 74 - Promising Young Woman, Many Saints of Newark, Squid Game, Gaspar Noé

    In this casual discussion we are going to go over several topics from our recent viewings. We start off with Emerald Fennell's award winning comedy thriller Promising Young Woman (2020). After that my mother gives her review of the "Soprano story" The Many Saints of Newark (2021) and I mention something about Netflix's hit series Squid Game that I have not seen much talked about. We close things off by talking about Gaspar Noé and share our thoughts on two of his recent movies: Lux Æterna (2019) and Climax (2018).

    Ep. 73 - Liisa's favourite movies of 2020

    On our second part exploring our favourite movies of 2020 we concentrate on my mothers list. There are some natural overlap with my list, but I'm definite that she will surprise you with some of the titles she mentions. And if you stick at the very end she will reveal which movie became her new favourite movie of all time.

    Ep. 72 - Aharon's favourite movies of 2020

    This is the first part in our list exploring personal favourites of 2020. We both had a handful of recommendations which we also wanted to comment on, so instead of one big episode we decided to release them as two part episodes. I was able to see 76 movies and these are 11 that made my very top of the list. Unfortunately because of the time limit, I couldn't mention all the recommendations. So if you are interested and looking for good movies, check out my Letterboxd list.

    Ep. 71 - Dune

    Denis Villeneuve's cinematic adaptation of Dune has been winning over critics as well as the box office. Considering the troubled history of adapting the book, releasing a satisfying singular vision is an achievement by itself. Next to this monumental release, the opinions of some son and mother can't help to feel little bit insignificant. All we can really do in the end is talk about our experience that - like my mother points out - has been years in the making. In the discussion we explore the perspectives of someone who didn't know anything about Dune beforehand and someone who is familiar with the book and it's previous adaptations.
