In Episode 274 of my podcast we review Memory: The Origins of Alien, The King of Comedy, Lucy in the Sky, and the Netflix mini-series Unbelievable. This week Megan blows my mind mind when she reveals some shocking new information to him about corn. Yes, corn. She and Dave kick off the show by reviewing the utterly disappointing Memory: The Origins of Alien (3:35), a behind-the-scenes documentary that repeats all the same old stories about Ridley Scott’s beloved 1979 film. Then Dave and I cover Martin Scorsese’s often-overlooked gem The King of Comedy (14:38), detailing why Joker is such an unsuccessful attempt to mimic it. Next Dave and Megan review Lucy in the Sky (23:42), a movie so frustrating they wish they didn’t have to talk about it. The one positive thing they can agree on though, is that Natalie Portman goes for broke with her performance. Lastly, all three of us delve into the Netflix mini-series Unbelievable (35:27), discussing why its first episode is so infuriating, while expounding upon why it’s such an important examination of trauma and a satisfying police procedural with tremendous performances by its leads Kaitlyn Dever, Merritt Wever, and Toni Collette.
