    Paul and Corey Cross the Streams: S7E13 [INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS (2013)]

    Welcome to Season 7! As we are now a quarter of the way through the 21st century, like Bill Murray in Tootsie, Paul and Corey are asking, “What happened?" This season we are looking at the trends, genres, styles, and more that make up cinema of the past 25 years. This week, Paul chose a film close to his heart, Inside Llewyn Davis (2013). It's the fourth Coens film Paul and Corey have covered, and this discussion was a real treat. Art and life and (the lack of) success. Folk music and (fetishizing) authenticity and Bob Dylan. Schachtmanites.  Enjoy and pass the hat.

    Paul and Corey Cross the Streams: S7E12 [PAST LIVES (2023)]

    Welcome to Season 7! As we are now a quarter of the way through the 21st century, like Bill Murray in Tootsie, Paul and Corey are asking, “What happened?” This season we are looking at the trends, genres, styles, and more that make up cinema of the past 25 years. This week, Corey chose perhaps the most cleanly divisive film in all of PACCTS, Past Lives (2023). Written and directed by Korean-American playwright Celine Song, the film follows 24 years in the lives of childhood sweethearts Na Young/Nora and Hae Sung as they weave in and out of each others' lives. During that time Nora marries an American writer, Arthur. The film examines the nature of human connection and love, and whether fate or another transcendent force, inyeon, explains why there are certain people whom we just...can't shake. As is sometimes the case, a film resonates with one of our hosts and leaves the other cold. See where you land.

    Paul and Corey Cross the Streams: S7E11 [I SAW THE TV GLOW (2024)]

    Welcome to Season 7! As we are now a quarter of the way through the 21st century, like Bill Murray in Tootsie, Paul and Corey are asking, “What happened?” This season we are looking at the trends, genres, styles, and more that make up cinema of the past 25 years. This week, Paul chose Jane Schoenbrun's second feature film, which they wrote and directed, I Saw the TV Glow (2024). The film is an allegory of the trans experience of "the egg crack" - the moment one realizes their identity doesn't correspond to their assigned gender. Throughout, Schoenbrun uses their cinematic, television, and musical influences to create a surreal, dissonant, and (spoiler; literal/figurative) heartbreaking examination of nostalgia, the narcotizing and liberating aspects of art, and a life unlived. A must-see.

    Paul and Corey Cross the Streams: S7E10 [CRAZY STUPID LOVE (2011)]

    Welcome to Season 7! As we are now a quarter of the way through the 21st century, like Bill Murray in Tootsie, Paul and Corey are asking, “What happened?” This season we are looking at the trends, genres, styles, and more that make up cinema of the past 25 years. Corey's pick this week - Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011) - is perhaps the most 2011 film ever made. There are so many reasons that tie it to that particular moment in time, from its (unmentioned) celebration of Neil Strauss' The Game to everything with the babysitter to...just...all the female characters. And yet, while watching the film, you kinda enjoy yourself? Crazy stuff.

    Paul and Corey Cross the Streams: S7E09 [HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN 10 DAYS (2003)]

    Welcome to Season 7! As we are now a quarter of the way through the 21st century, like Bill Murray in Tootsie, Paul and Corey are asking, “What happened?” This season we are looking at the trends, genres, styles, and more that make up cinema of the past 25 years. Paul really wanted to change it up this time. From the era of Matthew McConaughey leaning on the poster rom-coms, it's How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003). From director Donald Petrie and an assortment of other nepo babies, this film definitely...exists.  Paul chose it with the understanding that HtLaGi10D had come into its own as a sort of reappraised cult classic. Whoever told him that was wrong. Like a New York Knickerbockers' basketball game - all PACCTS picks can't be winners. A lot to discuss.

    Paul and Corey Cross the Streams: S7E08 [BLUE JASMINE (2013)]

    Welcome to Season 7! As we are now a quarter of the way through the 21st century, like Bill Murray in Tootsie, Paul and Corey are asking, “What happened?” This season we are looking at the trends, genres, styles, and more that make up cinema of the past 25 years. Corey takes us back to the heady days of 2013 with "arguably the last good Woody Allen movie," Blue Jasmine (2013). Between Woody, Alec Baldwin, and Louis CK, it's a real Murderers' row of the canceled. Cate Blanchett also returns with another great performance, but is it enough to look past...everything?

    Paul and Corey Cross the Streams: S7E07 [KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON (2023)]

    Welcome to Season 7! As we are now a quarter of the way through the 21st century, like Bill Murray in Tootsie, Paul and Corey are asking, “What happened?” This season we are looking at the trends, genres, styles, and more that make up cinema of the past 25 years. It's a big discussion today. Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon (2023). Adapted from the nonfiction book of the same name, the film opens up a discussion of the consciousness-raising of the 2010s. Paul and Corey have a fairly in-depth discussion of the over four hundred years genocide of the Indigenous people's of the Western hemisphere (most specifically what became the United States of America) and their resistance and struggle throughout that period (and up to today). Much of the information comes from Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz's book, An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States. There is a LOT to cover. It's an excellent film with incredible performances, score, editing, and representation and celebration of the Osage nation's culture.

    Paul and Corey Cross the Streams: S7E06 [UP (2009)]

    Welcome to Season 7! As we are now a quarter of the way through the 21st century, like Bill Murray in Tootsie, Paul and Corey are asking, “What happened?” This season we are looking at the trends, genres, styles, and more that make up cinema of the past 25 years. In today’s episode, Paul and Corey look at the (mis?)adventures of an old man, a boy scout (Not capitalized! Some other organization!), a talking dog, a big weird bird, and... a thinly-veiled crypto-N@zi. Yes, it's Disney's Pixar's Up (2009). What's to say here, folks? Not great. Structure messy, YIMBY politics, Disney being Disney. Paul disliked it more, but both he and Corey were on the same page. The balloons look pretty. Sorry if you love this.
