  Mar 7, 2025—S0

  <p>This week on the FilmWonk Podcast, Glenn and Daniel return to the world of cinema with Fritz Lang‘s classic police procedural (and a prototype of the genre), M (1931), a film from Weimar Germany which hits a bit differently today, but no less powerfully. And then we venture into Brady Corbet‘s towering and inventive immigrant story (featuring an Oscar-winning performance from Adrian Brody, The Brutalist (1:07:37).</p> <p>May contain NSFW language.</p> <p>FilmWonk rating (M): 10 out of 10<br>FilmWonk rating (The Brutalist): 8.5 out of 10</p>

  Sep 28, 2024—S0

  <p>This week on the FilmWonk Podcast, Glenn and Daniel check out two very different takes on thirtysomething nostalgia for your teenage years, first with My Old Ass, starring Aubrey Plaza and feature newcomer Maisy Stella as the older and younger versions of the same person, meeting through the magic of psylocibin. And then we catch up with Luca Guadagnino‘s fraught and sexy tennis triad, Challengers (1:01:26).</p> <p>May contain NSFW language.</p> <p>FilmWonk rating (My Old Ass): 8/10 (Glenn), 8.5/10 (Daniel)<br>FilmWonk rating (Challengers): 8/10 (Glenn), 6/10 (Daniel)</p>

  Jun 30, 2024—S0

  <p>This week on the FilmWonk Podcast, Glenn and Daniel check in on the latest from director Yorgos Lanthimos and his Poor Things collaborators Emma Stone and co-screenwriter Efthimis Filippou (The Killing of a Sacred Deer, The Lobster, Dogtooth), whose presence announces in advance that this is gonna be one of the weird ones.

  May 27, 2024—S0

  <p>This week on the FilmWonk Podcast, Glenn and Daniel reunite with long-time friend of the pod Erika to review Furiosa, a return to the Mad Max saga which absolutely refused to rest on its laurels conceptually or thematically. Then, at Daniel’s behest, we “see what Jerry Seinfeld is up to” with Unfrosted, new on Netflix. And then we venture back to a gem of a crime dramedy from 2019, Lorene Scafaria‘s Hustlers (1:17:55).</p> <p>May contain NSFW language.</p> <p>FilmWonk rating (Unfrosted): 7/10 (Daniel, Erika), 4/10 (Glenn)<br>FilmWonk rating (Furiosa): 9.5/10 (Erika), 9/10 (Glenn, Daniel)<br>FilmWonk rating (Hustlers): 8/10 (Glenn), 9/10 (Erika...

  FilmWonk Podcast – Episode #209 – “Road House” (dir. Doug Liman), “The Book of Clarence” (dir. Jeymes Samuel)

  Mar 27, 2024—S0

  <p>This week on the FilmWonk Podcast, Glenn and Daniel check out Doug Liman‘s faithful and surprisingly enjoyable Road House remake, a film which somehow finds its feet with a western premise that was dated in the 80s, transplanted here into the Florida Keys, where that decade never ended. And then we reach back into 2023 for an epic of Biblical apocrypha by The Harder They Fall director Jeymes Samuel, The Book of Clarence, a mixed bag of religious satire which somehow manages to give The Life of Brian a run for its money. Exvangelicals should not miss this one (1:05:48).</p>...
