In Episode 57 below, we review The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Phoenix, and Straight Outta Compton. Dave is back again (which makes two weeks in a row)! We talk about silly t-shirts we wish we could own, including one in particular that Kris wanted as a kid. Then we take on a bumper crop of movies. Kris and me are up first with their thoughts on Guy Ritchie’s hyper-styled adaptation of The Man from U.N.C.L.E., which has a great performance by Armie Hammer and one of the worst car chases Kris has ever seen. Dave delivers praise for Phoenix, while wondering what the plural of the word is (phoenices?). Once he’s done talking up the film’s perfectly composed photography, interesting post-World War II story, and its Hitchcock-ian flavor, Kris and I round things out with Straight Outta Compton. Both of us discuss why we love the movie (because fuck the po-lice) and how its casting is fantastic.
