In Episode 65 below, we review He Named Me Malala, Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead, and Twixt. Kris and I fly duo since Dave can’t make it, but at least he’s able to call in and share a strange dream he had. After me and Kris ponder its meaning, we dive into this week’s movies. Kris starts off by reviewing the documentary HE NAMED ME MALALA, which disappointingly patronizes its subject. Then I talk about the documentary DRUNK STONED BRILLIANT DEAD, a funny, fast-moving movie with great music that recounts the history National Lampoon Magazine. Finally, both of us discuss TWIXT, a bizarre film by Francis Ford Coppola that neither of us knew about until we watched it on Netflix. We quickly discovered why. It’s just a strange flick that baffles us for a million reasons. Tangents this week include Crean family holiday movies and actors who are difficult to work with.
