In Episode 217 below, we review The Nun, Searching, Mom and Dad, Point Break, Sorcerer, and The Age of Innocence. Somehow DMX comes up again in conversation this week, but this time it’s in the context of an animated show! Kris kicks off the episode’s movies by talking about Point Break (3:40), which he and his fiancé accidentally watched on Keanu Reeves’ birthday. After we gush about Kathryn Bigelow’s directing and Reeves’ general awesomeness, Kris moves on to Mom and Dad (11:38), Brian Taylor’s madcap thriller where Nicolas Cage and Selma Blair play homicidal parental units. Next, Dave covers Sorcerer (21:00), one of the all-time great movies with one of the all-time most confusing titles, and The Age of Innocence (28:00), a Scorsese period piece that Dave forgot is really funny, yet also really sad. I jump in to rave about Searching (30:43), a smart, tense thriller starring John Cho as a father searching (see what they did there?) for his missing daughter. And finally to wrap everything up, we review The Nun (42:00), a toothless, glacially paced horror movie brimming with bizarre accents and equally bizarre plot choices.
