@@ThePhantom4516 Jar kinda sucks. I play it on low volume for noise sometimes but content-wise it's annoying as hell, and one member you can't even understand because of his terrible mumbling.
Southland Tales was a modern take on the Book of Revelations, which was a drug-fueled mess of a book. The Rock was the old Jesus (Jericho Cane), Sarah Michelle Geller was the Whore of Babylon, Sean Wallace was the Anti-Christ, Sean William Scott is the New Christ, etc. When Christopher Lambert rolls up in a white ice cream truck full of guns, you'd better believe he's Death on the Pale Horse. The movie was a mess, but so is the source material. It reminded me of when I first watched Oh Brother, Where Art Thou. I as so confused because I had no idea about Homer's Odyssey. But once I read that book, it all made sense. If you know about the Book of Revelations, I can't guarantee you'll like the movie any more than you do, but I'd bet the thing will make a LOT more sense. You have to imagine that someone in the past saw the future, barely understood it, and then wrote the Book of Revelations, and now it's happening.
Under The Silver Lake is David Robert Mitchells 3rd feature. He did a coming of age drama called "Myths of the American sleepover" its a solid little film but hard to find to watch.
I know they laugh about Seann William Scott being in this movie but I really like him as an actor, he’s been branching out into more than just comedy and I think he’s got real potential
@@randomguy6679 southland tales is one of the best films of the 2000's, hands down. boogie nights and pulp fiction are both good don't get me wrong, they're among my favourites, but as far as my personal tastes are concerned, southland tales is right up my alley in terms of what is possible with the medium of film. kelly's dissection of the 2000's new wave patriot paranoid neoliberal zeitgeist is insanely spot on, especially nowadays when looking at it in hindsight. people get too bogged down in trying to figure out the surface level plot elements, too invested in what the movie is showing you at face value, rather than engaging with it on a deeper level and looking at what the film is actually about and is actually saying. there's really nothing else like it.
@@randomguy6679 see that's probably where we differ most integrally, I have no issue with the execution. I think Kelly did an admirable job executing his concept, I understood what he was putting down on first watch, but I was never invested in trying to figure out the plot itself. In my opinion, the plot of this movie is almost entirely insignificant. This is a movie about messy geopolitics and socioeconomic phenomena and a paranoid collective unconscious, the fact the plot is so indecipherable and convoluted reflects the feeling one would get trying to fully grasp the geopolitical landscape, parsing through layer upon layer of conflicting narratives until you feel like a fuckin schizo (kinda like Roland Taverner or Boxer Santaros). Despite the "bad execution" I still find a LOT to mull over in this film, which to me indicates Kelly executed exactly what he meant to, it just depends on how you choose to engage with it. The concepts are all there and they're all coherent pieces of a whole, you just have to understand what things Kelly really wants you to pay attention to, like the dance between Boxer and Krysta at the end, or the vice president never understanding what's going on, the image of sentries lining the boardwalk ready to "protect and serve", USident employees doing yoga stretches before a long day of civil rights violations, Pilot Abilene in his bloodstained tee jamming to The Killers before solemnly staring into the camera as he comes down from his drug binge, an auspicious blimp full of the richest most influential people on the planet leaving the rabble behind (Have a nice apocalypse!), a pornstar and the biggest actor in Hollywood penning a screenplay that details the end of the world, celebrity as the modern day saint or biblical figure. There's too much here to be written off because it doesn't adhere to arbitrary standards of how a movie "should" be executed.
I would've watched it if it was on Netflix somewhere. I didn't even know it existed until Adam recommended it and fuck I need to watch this to see this clusterfuck for myself.
There something about Southland Tales. It's horrible, but as the movie goes on I just kept being more and more mystified how the movie even existed. It was almost entertaining in just how bizarre and off and wrong everything about it was.
southland tales is a huuuge mess, and it drags like hell, but for some reason there's always been something about it that just resonates with me. i think it's got some good ideas here and there, and despite failing as a whole, there are elements that work for me regardless. i guess i'm on ralph's team for once
Southland Tales is great (at least the Cannes cut, I slept on it for a long time and never saw the theatrical cut, which sounds like a mess from everything I've read). The closest comparisons I can think of are William Klein's Mr. Freedom, Ken Russel's Liszt-O-Mania and Head (the Monkees movie). Years ago I read an interview with Dušan Makavejev where he talks about how with Sweet Movie, instead of making a didactic film that used conventional narrative and cinematic language to TELL the audience what to think, it works by introducng a concept and then making the audience physically feel the discomfort or confusion or disgust that he wants them to associate with that concept (he said it more eloquently though, or at least the translator did). Southland Tales is no Sweet Movie, but I do think it (maybe accidentally?) works in a similar way. If nothing else, if you lived through the first Bush term in the USA with any degree of critical awareness, Southland Tales captures the mood of those years better than any other movie I can think of. Anyway, after finally watching this a lot of the criticisms I've heard for years seem like listening to a piano instrumental and then saying it had bad lyrics. EDIT: also, in the Cannes cut at least, the narrative really isn't that convoluted.
i adore southland tales, and it is precisely because it captures a moment in the collective unconscious so perfectly and plays with it within the artifice of film perfectly, it uses the medium the best it can to elevate it's premise and concept. which, simply put, is that it kinda felt like the world was ending in 2006 and in the early 2000's in general, so kelly took the prototypical End of the World tale (Revelations) and just applied it to the world of 2000's America, which was an absurd, greedy, late stage capitalist, neoliberal shitshow of resurging patriotic attitudes, growing division and intolerance, ignorance and fear in the wake of the worsening climate crisis, government overreach driving paranoia and unforeseen teen horniness. the movie is goofy and silly and dumb because if the world ended in 2008, it would be fucking goofy and silly and dumb. just look at the shit that happened 10 years later with trump and now we got this senile coot biden and right wingers are just off their rocker entirely to the point of pure absurdity and my god the neo-marxists are just the same thing as twitter leftists, kelly was in his fucking BAG when he made this shit! the story is messy because the SUBJECT is messy, the WORLD is messy. why should a film addressing these messy topics have to adhere to some clean style of storytelling? in general, this mindset when looking at films as something that has to cleanly and neatly explain itself in a digestible and profitable manner just holds the medium back from being what it can be, pure expression, ideas and abstractions of ideas made real just for the sake of itself, just for the sake of it existing.
First time I heard of Southland Tales was when a dozen or so Channel Awesome producers had a giant crossover review of it like 7 years ago. Funny it's happening again with you guys lol
They cancelled an animated film that looked fantastic called Mouse Guard. I think Adam, Ralph and Alex need to look up demo reel footage online because it’ll blow their mind
I’ve seen Southland Tales popping up online lately. I’m curious as to why. That film was a convoluted mess but I loved it so much. I just love surrealism and strangeness.
I like Southland Tales and I respect all y'all opinions but I have never read the graphic novel and I still understand a good sum of the films plot. A bunch of neo marxists want to stop government control of private lives and everything goes wrong. Using that I've never felt lost in the overall story. The film has flaws with story telling and tone for sure but it didn't ruin my enjoyment. One thing that you guys kinda missed is The Rocks performance. For a good sum of the film, he is role-playing as the character in his screenplay. It's kinda suppose to be corny and a play on the action idiots he plays in his normal mainstream films. So that didn't really bother me.
@Christopher McDonald Ok maybe not a star but he did have an association with those films at this point in his career. You also gotta consider how The Rock fits the stereotypical action archetype, he has the acting chops and looks for it. So it's fair to say that Richard Kelly used him to make a more general statement on the trope. His performance is supposed to be comical and corny to fit with the trope. If you watch some of the deleted scenes you can see scenes where he's acting more realistically and that has to do with him switching back to Boxer Santaros. It's not mind-blowing or anything but its a nice touch to the film.
I really loved Midsommer and related to the themes of breaking up a toxic relationship as I just got out of a very intimate relationship, it's definitely one of my favorites of the year. I don't think you'll have to worry about Ari Aster making similar films like this because he actually wrote Hereditary and Midsommer back to back after breaking off a long term relationship. I'm super excited to see where his career goes to and hey I rather see something original that's inspired more than whatever Disney shits out.
False he was asked to write MS after a Swedish production co read Hereditary, he initially didn’t even want to do it until the breakup aspect, but hereditary has been floating around for a while.. Hereditary came from a rough period of years where he said his family felt “cursed”. You’re right he wants to break away from horror however
I don't like saying that "You didn't get it" with most movies, it sounds so pretentious. But with some of the reviews on Midsomar I feel like it's appropriate. When people are literally saying the opening of the movie has nothing to do with the rest of the film, then yeah you didn't get it. (Chris Stuckman, Moist Meter guy)...
I wouldn’t say pretentious. People say that a lot too and I’ve noticed people get like intellectually emasculated or some people just refuse to engage with movies in that way.
It just depends on how you say it. If you’re describing an experience you got that others didn’t, then it’s a completely subjective point of view. But when it’s what you’re talking about, it’s worth bringing it up in response.
Speaking of Home Alone, when are you guys getting Macaulay on here? He does a fun little podcast and he seems like the type of guy who would be a great guest for you guys.
I watched Midsommar not knowing a single thing about the movie. My friends told me I had to come to see it and we saw it high and MAN, the movie was just 10 times better while on drugs LMAO.

Really happy that the boys finally talked about Shaun of the Dead, albeit briefly. I love that movie but had an awful experience when I excitedly showed it to my entire family and they all collectively hated it. Like I know others not enjoying the same things as you are fine and doesn't invalidate your opinions, but it's still rough to be passionate about something and then presenting it to an entire room of people who misinterpret and shit on it the entire way through.
SAME. I felt so vindicated seeing these guys give Barry Lyndon and The Holy Mountain such unanimous praise cause I was the guy for years who’d try and show my “friends” stuff and they’d shit on it and actually made a thing out of it.
@@tonywords6713 Actually for like months and maybe even years after showing my family Shaun of the Dead my parents would bring it up like "remember that one time you made us watch a fucking zombie movie? Jesus."
With Love, Thomas there’s a great Blu-ray release my friend let me borrow but 123movies also has it if you just want to stream it for free :) they usually have weirder stuff like that’s where I found “happiness” as well by Solondz
i watched midsommar after my mom died of cancer. the actor does a tremendous job of portraying anxiety and grief. i felt those things INSTANTLY when she was on screen.
I don't think I agree with that, "you don't need to read anything to be able to enjoy a film". There are some films that are so specific to the political climate of a territory or a point in time that having background knowledge is necessary to understanding the conflict. If one knows nothing about some kind of civil unrest in a third-world country a film strictly about that and criticizing those who allowed that unrest to fester WILL NOT resonate in the same way. Films like THE MASTER mean more when we are familiar with Scientology or SOMETIMES IN APRIL is more impactful when we understand the political negligence of the UN when the African genocide was going on. Context is important. Not sure if that extends to a graphic novel about your world, but who knows right?
Ian Smart You might get more out of it by reading outside sources, but it still makes sense on its own terms. What they’re saying is that the film doesn’t make sense or doesn’t work without that outside information. You can still understand The Master or Cache without knowing about Scientology or the Algierian conflict with France. Those things help you appreciate the film more but enjoyment can still be had without them.
@@eleanorelmore Sure, and there are films like that. But think about the Armenian equivalent to David Lynch or Richard Linklater. Experimental or abstract or slice of life cinema that is about the trauma of that nation. That film may not be a failure because you and I don't understand or the story doesn't fully resonate. In the same way, someone who sees BLUE VELVET may not get the nuances of Lynch deconstructing "polite" suburbia. Or if a person from South Africa doesn't understand the value in a film like BOYHOOD. If you don't have a frame of reference for what those worlds are satirizing and exploring one may not feel anything for the story (the emotion is honest and that could pulls someone through, so there is that).
@@iansmart4158 At least Blue Velvet is entertaining and compelling on its own, even without outside knowledge. If a movie needs to rely on outside knowledge for ANY redeeming qualities like Southland Tales, then you failed.
@@randomguy6679 Not true. Depends on the aims of the work. Some work is purely about aesthetics. Some purely about realism. Some purely about plot and circumstance. Now a movie could fail in it's particular goals, but you have to identify them first. But again, Blue Velvet is entertaining to you because you have a frame of reference for it's type of filmmaking/ storytelling. But ppl have been wrong in the past. Lynch's FIRE WALK WITH ME got horrible reviews upon release, because ppl were expecting an extension of the Twin Peaks series aesthetic. But now ppl see it as the great film that it is. Because they have more context for how to view the world of that story.
@@iansmart4158 Blue Velvet is entertaining because of the performances, and the bizarre moments, and beautiful cinematography and music choices. Not because of whatever your talking about, it can at least be enjoyed as a movie.
Bianka Toth I don't like saying that about most movies because "You didn't get it" sounds so pretentious. But with some of the reviews on Midsomar I feel like it's appropriate. When people are literally saying the opening of the movie has nothing to do with the rest of the film, then yeah you didn't get it. (Chris Stuckman, Moist Meter guy)...
The Rock is perfectly capable of playing against type, but the different roles still play to his strengths. Apparently Kelly's first choice for the role was Benicio Del Toro. I think he could have done a better job, but he probably would have still embarrassed himself.

27:37 their reason for staying is VERY BELIEVABLE. I took some anthropology courses in college and what they drill into your her is that no matter how fucked yo the practices of other cultures seem to you, you need to be accepting and completely non judge mental. Having that ideology drilled into your mind for several years would blind you from realizing it’s a cult.
From Donnie Darko becoming a cult hit in 2001,to just before Southland Tales was played at Cannes, Richard Kelly was being hyped as the next big thing in all the film mags. Since he's not made anything in a decade,Kelly sure burnt all his bridges.
I had to watch Southland Tales for one of my media classes and I had no idea what the fuck was going on and that's why i had to come here, but I love all you guys so that makes it better
On the topic of musicians turned actors Tom Waits has to be my favourite. He's obviously usually type cast into wacky eccentric roles but he suits them to a T. His English accent in Dracula was one of the best accents put on in the movie.
You guys seemed to miss the central idea behind Southland Tales! It is a modern-day adaptation of the book of Revelations from the bible. That text is basically a fever dream about the end of the world, just like this movie. It has no clear plot and the characters like the harlot and the four horseman are fantastical and wholly unrealistic. All the events that unfold are seemingly bizarre and nonsensical. Furthermore this movie uses the idea that the characters are being directed in their actions by fate, the universe or the gods/God. Their performances are intentionally obtuse because their free will is compromised and they are being forced into a role in the Revelations "story". You are not meant to sympathize with them because they are just objects of fate and players in a cosmic play. Some of the characters reach a kind of enlightenment at the end when they surrender their free will and just submit to their role in the unfolding apocalypse. Note the similarity to Donnie Darko where he reaches peace by submitting to his role as dictated by fate. So there is no real point to the story other than just being an adaptation of Revelations. And as wild and seemingly random as the plot of this movie is, it pales in comparison to the wild tales in Revelations. The satire and commentary about LA, government, business greed, etc is just window dressing or maybe evidence that the world is ready for the apocalypse. While there is a intentional criticism there, it is not the point of the movie. I agree with you that the story is basically nonsensical, but it is very intentionally so. The only real "meaning" to the movie is "This is the way the world ends..." (and it is a bizarre tale indeed) One of my favorite movies of all time! ps. edit: All that being said, I totally get why you guys and many people don't like Southland Tales and I don't blame you. It is an undefinable genre, the goal of the movie is not apparent, and the bizarre acting performances and plot fictions, like Fluid Karma and time-travel duplications, can be offputting without more background information. While I understand the desire for a movie to be fully contained, I personally don't mind that this movie requires the graphic novels for more understanding. I also love the music choices and I think they add a lot of mood to the scenes if not meaning.
Wow, that REALLY sounds like a copout. They already addressed this. You can't make an incomprehensible mess and defend it by saying that that was the point. It's one thing to just say you enjoy the movie, it's another to try defending it with a response as weak as "that was the point"
@@heckingbamboozled8097 My point is that the movie is trying to be as incoherent as Revelations and it succeeds in this, in my opinion. Arguably it's even more coherent than that text. Increased comprehensibility would make it less like Revelations, although it may have greatly increased the movie's success.
I legitimately saw cinema Paradiso last week, I am was trying to think of how long I’d wait for them to talk about it. Thank god it’s only two more weeks

I've met Richard Kelly. He's an incredibly nice guy. I didn't hesitate to tell him that Donnie Darko was one of my favorite movies. I didn't have the heart to tell him that I really didn't like Southland Tales. Also, LA is a fucking nightmare city.
I am one of the few people on earth who loves Southland Tales.... It's a spectacular failure, but in such a fun nutty way! The performances are so entertaining, the humour is on point, and the post 9/11 satire is great... I actually like this movie more than Donnie Darko, because of how ambitious it is, and how monumentally it fails... It's like The Room for me!!!! So bad it's great!!!!!💖
Just finished Southland Tales, and to be honest, I like what Kelly tried to do, but the execution was just not helpful to the film. I appreciate it, but that doesnt mean I thought it was good, 4/10
Midsommar was neither disturbing nor scarry. But the score was so insistent that it was a horror movie that it feld very bland. Also the acting was shit from the entire supporting cast^^ Also completely predictable after the first image predictable. The people jumping down the cliff was hilarious.

I would've watched it if it was on Netflix somewhere. I didn't even know it existed until Adam recommended it and fuck I need to watch this to see this clusterfuck for myself.
It is bad but is very fascinating to watch cus it's ridiculously complex for a bad film
There something about Southland Tales. It's horrible, but as the movie goes on I just kept being more and more mystified how the movie even existed. It was almost entertaining in just how bizarre and off and wrong everything about it was.
southland tales is a huuuge mess, and it drags like hell, but for some reason there's always been something about it that just resonates with me. i think it's got some good ideas here and there, and despite failing as a whole, there are elements that work for me regardless. i guess i'm on ralph's team for once
I don't think I'll ever forget that movie.
ive watched the drag at least 20 times
Southland Tales is great (at least the Cannes cut, I slept on it for a long time and never saw the theatrical cut, which sounds like a mess from everything I've read). The closest comparisons I can think of are William Klein's Mr. Freedom, Ken Russel's Liszt-O-Mania and Head (the Monkees movie).
Years ago I read an interview with Dušan Makavejev where he talks about how with Sweet Movie, instead of making a didactic film that used conventional narrative and cinematic language to TELL the audience what to think, it works by introducng a concept and then making the audience physically feel the discomfort or confusion or disgust that he wants them to associate with that concept (he said it more eloquently though, or at least the translator did). Southland Tales is no Sweet Movie, but I do think it (maybe accidentally?) works in a similar way.
If nothing else, if you lived through the first Bush term in the USA with any degree of critical awareness, Southland Tales captures the mood of those years better than any other movie I can think of.
Anyway, after finally watching this a lot of the criticisms I've heard for years seem like listening to a piano instrumental and then saying it had bad lyrics.
EDIT: also, in the Cannes cut at least, the narrative really isn't that convoluted.
i adore southland tales, and it is precisely because it captures a moment in the collective unconscious so perfectly and plays with it within the artifice of film perfectly, it uses the medium the best it can to elevate it's premise and concept. which, simply put, is that it kinda felt like the world was ending in 2006 and in the early 2000's in general, so kelly took the prototypical End of the World tale (Revelations) and just applied it to the world of 2000's America, which was an absurd, greedy, late stage capitalist, neoliberal shitshow of resurging patriotic attitudes, growing division and intolerance, ignorance and fear in the wake of the worsening climate crisis, government overreach driving paranoia and unforeseen teen horniness. the movie is goofy and silly and dumb because if the world ended in 2008, it would be fucking goofy and silly and dumb. just look at the shit that happened 10 years later with trump and now we got this senile coot biden and right wingers are just off their rocker entirely to the point of pure absurdity and my god the neo-marxists are just the same thing as twitter leftists, kelly was in his fucking BAG when he made this shit! the story is messy because the SUBJECT is messy, the WORLD is messy. why should a film addressing these messy topics have to adhere to some clean style of storytelling? in general, this mindset when looking at films as something that has to cleanly and neatly explain itself in a digestible and profitable manner just holds the medium back from being what it can be, pure expression, ideas and abstractions of ideas made real just for the sake of itself, just for the sake of it existing.
its a guilty pleasure for me

No love for Tom Waits? Between him and David Bowie, they’re the ONLY musicians who have given consistently good/great performances.
Tyler Smith thank you
Jim Jarmusch consistently gets amazing performances from musicians. Even Joe STrummer is great in Mystery Train.
Kris Kristoffersen isn't all bad either.
Frank Sinatra
“Richard Kelly you dropped the plot!” - Adum, 2019
Drake got his start on Degrassi so he's already switched industries
Is Alex going for an Arthur Morgan voice? (1:33:49)
To Adam, people say "Erm" in Yorkshire
Richard kelly was laughed out of canes for Donnie darko which only caugh on until later
I can't decide if Ralph sounds more like George Lucas or Julia Child; just a random thought I had.
The second watch of Midsommar did go by much faster for me! A second watch is necessary IMO.
First time I heard of Southland Tales was when a dozen or so Channel Awesome producers had a giant crossover review of it like 7 years ago. Funny it's happening again with you guys lol
The only good film Dwayne Johnson has been is Moana.
1997residente And The Tooth Fairy
Moana was literally just a copy of frozen. You've enraged me
Danny Hasacupcake How tho
Moana has literally nothing do with Frozen in terms of plot, and is also better than Frozen in every possible aspect.
They cancelled an animated film that looked fantastic called Mouse Guard. I think Adam, Ralph and Alex need to look up demo reel footage online because it’ll blow their mind
Damn, I didn't realise just how much of a flop Southland Tales was. It made less than 400k on a 17 million dollar budget. Ouch.
thats probably due to its limited release after cannes, but still like damn.
I’ve seen Southland Tales popping up online lately. I’m curious as to why. That film was a convoluted mess but I loved it so much. I just love surrealism and strangeness.
Surrealism and strangeness without a soul or good execution is nothing.
@;_; ok even though its so desperately trying to be a perfect art film? This reeks of pretending to have a soul, instead of actually having one
I like Southland Tales and I respect all y'all opinions but I have never read the graphic novel and I still understand a good sum of the films plot. A bunch of neo marxists want to stop government control of private lives and everything goes wrong. Using that I've never felt lost in the overall story. The film has flaws with story telling and tone for sure but it didn't ruin my enjoyment. One thing that you guys kinda missed is The Rocks performance. For a good sum of the film, he is role-playing as the character in his screenplay. It's kinda suppose to be corny and a play on the action idiots he plays in his normal mainstream films. So that didn't really bother me.
@Christopher McDonald Ok maybe not a star but he did have an association with those films at this point in his career. You also gotta consider how The Rock fits the stereotypical action archetype, he has the acting chops and looks for it. So it's fair to say that Richard Kelly used him to make a more general statement on the trope. His performance is supposed to be comical and corny to fit with the trope. If you watch some of the deleted scenes you can see scenes where he's acting more realistically and that has to do with him switching back to Boxer Santaros. It's not mind-blowing or anything but its a nice touch to the film.
My pretend friends are back!!!!
I really loved Midsommer and related to the themes of breaking up a toxic relationship as I just got out of a very intimate relationship, it's definitely one of my favorites of the year. I don't think you'll have to worry about Ari Aster making similar films like this because he actually wrote Hereditary and Midsommer back to back after breaking off a long term relationship. I'm super excited to see where his career goes to and hey I rather see something original that's inspired more than whatever Disney shits out.
False he was asked to write MS after a Swedish production co read Hereditary, he initially didn’t even want to do it until the breakup aspect, but hereditary has been floating around for a while..
Hereditary came from a rough period of years where he said his family felt “cursed”.
You’re right he wants to break away from horror however
If you don’t have a doink-it, you’re a baby.
gb films facts
That into was like straight from the bible lmao
Adum: "Who even buys these tabloids?"
Alex: *Starts sweating nervously*
I don't like saying that "You didn't get it" with most movies, it sounds so pretentious. But with some of the reviews on Midsomar I feel like it's appropriate. When people are literally saying the opening of the movie has nothing to do with the rest of the film, then yeah you didn't get it. (Chris Stuckman, Moist Meter guy)...
I wouldn’t say pretentious. People say that a lot too and I’ve noticed people get like intellectually emasculated or some people just refuse to engage with movies in that way.
It just depends on how you say it. If you’re describing an experience you got that others didn’t, then it’s a completely subjective point of view. But when it’s what you’re talking about, it’s worth bringing it up in response.
My Once Uppn a Time in Hollywood fanart didn’t get featured :( . Oh well I’ll make another one :)
Go for it buddy
Is it on the subredit?
Maybe next episode?
Steve Johnston Yeah
To be fair, you have to have a pretty high IQ to understand Southland Tales.
None of that here
I finally feel like I fully understand it...and it only took 4 viewings!
Speaking of Home Alone, when are you guys getting Macaulay on here? He does a fun little podcast and he seems like the type of guy who would be a great guest for you guys.
I watched Midsommar not knowing a single thing about the movie. My friends told me I had to come to see it and we saw it high and MAN, the movie was just 10 times better while on drugs LMAO.
I saw it high af too in a theater. I was the only person there too which made it that much creepier.
Did you notice the pulsing flowers and did you think it was cuz you were high?
Michael Shannon has a band and hes an amazing actor.
Thanks for this, I've been going through the old Sardonicasts in reverse order the last couple weeks and I feel like an asshole.
sad
I love how angry Alex is in this episode. It’s fantastic to hear.
can u imagine if they remade eraserhead, starring kevin hart and with a photorealistic cgi sheep foetus

Really happy that the boys finally talked about Shaun of the Dead, albeit briefly.
I love that movie but had an awful experience when I excitedly showed it to my entire family and they all collectively hated it.
Like I know others not enjoying the same things as you are fine and doesn't invalidate your opinions, but it's still rough to be passionate about something and then presenting it to an entire room of people who misinterpret and shit on it the entire way through.
SAME. I felt so vindicated seeing these guys give Barry Lyndon and The Holy Mountain such unanimous praise cause I was the guy for years who’d try and show my “friends” stuff and they’d shit on it and actually made a thing out of it.
@@tonywords6713 Actually for like months and maybe even years after showing my family Shaun of the Dead my parents would bring it up like "remember that one time you made us watch a fucking zombie movie? Jesus."
Have you guys seen Possession (1981)? I'd say it's one to definitely check out if you liked the "break up horror" aspect of Midsommar.
Do you know where to find that? I've been trying to watch it forever.
With Love, Thomas It’s very hard to find. I had to use Kodi on Amazon FireTV
Phenomenal film. One of my favorites.
With Love, Thomas there’s a great Blu-ray release my friend let me borrow but 123movies also has it if you just want to stream it for free :) they usually have weirder stuff like that’s where I found “happiness” as well by Solondz
@@tonywords6713 I think it's also free on RUclips if you just search Possession 1981
No way all those fox movies were gonna get made, let alone make it passed development, even if Disney didn't buy em.
Southland Tales is both the best and worst film ever made.
I need one of them to recommend Cronenberg's Naked Lunch. I can't possibly imagine how any of them could even begin to figure it out.
You got your wish lol
i watched midsommar after my mom died of cancer. the actor does a tremendous job of portraying anxiety and grief. i felt those things INSTANTLY when she was on screen.
I don't think I agree with that, "you don't need to read anything to be able to enjoy a film". There are some films that are so specific to the political climate of a territory or a point in time that having background knowledge is necessary to understanding the conflict.
If one knows nothing about some kind of civil unrest in a third-world country a film strictly about that and criticizing those who allowed that unrest to fester WILL NOT resonate in the same way. Films like THE MASTER mean more when we are familiar with Scientology or SOMETIMES IN APRIL is more impactful when we understand the political negligence of the UN when the African genocide was going on. Context is important.
Not sure if that extends to a graphic novel about your world, but who knows right?
Ian Smart You might get more out of it by reading outside sources, but it still makes sense on its own terms. What they’re saying is that the film doesn’t make sense or doesn’t work without that outside information. You can still understand The Master or Cache without knowing about Scientology or the Algierian conflict with France. Those things help you appreciate the film more but enjoyment can still be had without them.
@@eleanorelmore Sure, and there are films like that. But think about the Armenian equivalent to David Lynch or Richard Linklater. Experimental or abstract or slice of life cinema that is about the trauma of that nation. That film may not be a failure because you and I don't understand or the story doesn't fully resonate.
In the same way, someone who sees BLUE VELVET may not get the nuances of Lynch deconstructing "polite" suburbia. Or if a person from South Africa doesn't understand the value in a film like BOYHOOD. If you don't have a frame of reference for what those worlds are satirizing and exploring one may not feel anything for the story (the emotion is honest and that could pulls someone through, so there is that).
@@iansmart4158 At least Blue Velvet is entertaining and compelling on its own, even without outside knowledge. If a movie needs to rely on outside knowledge for ANY redeeming qualities like Southland Tales, then you failed.
@@randomguy6679 Not true. Depends on the aims of the work.
Some work is purely about aesthetics. Some purely about realism. Some purely about plot and circumstance.
Now a movie could fail in it's particular goals, but you have to identify them first.
But again, Blue Velvet is entertaining to you because you have a frame of reference for it's type of filmmaking/ storytelling.
But ppl have been wrong in the past. Lynch's FIRE WALK WITH ME got horrible reviews upon release, because ppl were expecting an extension of the Twin Peaks series aesthetic. But now ppl see it as the great film that it is. Because they have more context for how to view the world of that story.
@@iansmart4158 Blue Velvet is entertaining because of the performances, and the bizarre moments, and beautiful cinematography and music choices. Not because of whatever your talking about, it can at least be enjoyed as a movie.
Alex, have you been practicing your Arthur Morgan impression? “Well, when I found out I was gay...” sounded an awful lot like the ol’ boy.
The Critical Drinker did a really salty video on how much he hated midsommar and people keep telling him that he just "doesn't get it".
Bianka Toth I don't like saying that about most movies because "You didn't get it" sounds so pretentious. But with some of the reviews on Midsomar I feel like it's appropriate. When people are literally saying the opening of the movie has nothing to do with the rest of the film, then yeah you didn't get it. (Chris Stuckman, Moist Meter guy)...
I mean, if you didn't like the film very much, that's fine. But really? The worst film of 2019? Worst than the Aladdin remake or The Lion King remake?
I wish Sardonicast would do an episode on Dogville.It is Lars Von Trier's best film.It's a legitimate masterpiece.
The Rock is perfectly capable of playing against type, but the different roles still play to his strengths. Apparently Kelly's first choice for the role was Benicio Del Toro. I think he could have done a better job, but he probably would have still embarrassed himself.
Southland Tales is the Everything Nachos of filmmaking
Southland Tales was hilarious. Bit long, but very funny.
I don’t think the statement “modern art is just dumb” is necessarily self evident or mutually agreed upon. It’s actually pretty naive.
Its agreed on by most people, or at least most smart people.

Florence was beautiful and her acting was wonderful, honestly my favorite actress atm
27:37 their reason for staying is VERY BELIEVABLE. I took some anthropology courses in college and what they drill into your her is that no matter how fucked yo the practices of other cultures seem to you, you need to be accepting and completely non judge mental. Having that ideology drilled into your mind for several years would blind you from realizing it’s a cult.

Southland Tales feels like a bad movie adaptation of a Chuck Palahniuk book.
CINEMA PARADISO!!!!!!!
From Donnie Darko becoming a cult hit in 2001,to just before Southland Tales was played at Cannes, Richard Kelly was being hyped as the next big thing in all the film mags. Since he's not made anything in a decade,Kelly sure burnt all his bridges.
I had to watch Southland Tales for one of my media classes and I had no idea what the fuck was going on and that's why i had to come here, but I love all you guys so that makes it better
On the topic of musicians turned actors Tom Waits has to be my favourite. He's obviously usually type cast into wacky eccentric roles but he suits them to a T. His English accent in Dracula was one of the best accents put on in the movie.
You guys seemed to miss the central idea behind Southland Tales! It is a modern-day adaptation of the book of Revelations from the bible. That text is basically a fever dream about the end of the world, just like this movie. It has no clear plot and the characters like the harlot and the four horseman are fantastical and wholly unrealistic. All the events that unfold are seemingly bizarre and nonsensical.
Furthermore this movie uses the idea that the characters are being directed in their actions by fate, the universe or the gods/God. Their performances are intentionally obtuse because their free will is compromised and they are being forced into a role in the Revelations "story". You are not meant to sympathize with them because they are just objects of fate and players in a cosmic play. Some of the characters reach a kind of enlightenment at the end when they surrender their free will and just submit to their role in the unfolding apocalypse. Note the similarity to Donnie Darko where he reaches peace by submitting to his role as dictated by fate.
So there is no real point to the story other than just being an adaptation of Revelations. And as wild and seemingly random as the plot of this movie is, it pales in comparison to the wild tales in Revelations. The satire and commentary about LA, government, business greed, etc is just window dressing or maybe evidence that the world is ready for the apocalypse. While there is a intentional criticism there, it is not the point of the movie.
I agree with you that the story is basically nonsensical, but it is very intentionally so. The only real "meaning" to the movie is "This is the way the world ends..." (and it is a bizarre tale indeed)
One of my favorite movies of all time!
ps. edit: All that being said, I totally get why you guys and many people don't like Southland Tales and I don't blame you. It is an undefinable genre, the goal of the movie is not apparent, and the bizarre acting performances and plot fictions, like Fluid Karma and time-travel duplications, can be offputting without more background information. While I understand the desire for a movie to be fully contained, I personally don't mind that this movie requires the graphic novels for more understanding. I also love the music choices and I think they add a lot of mood to the scenes if not meaning.
Wow, that REALLY sounds like a copout. They already addressed this. You can't make an incomprehensible mess and defend it by saying that that was the point. It's one thing to just say you enjoy the movie, it's another to try defending it with a response as weak as "that was the point"
@@heckingbamboozled8097 My point is that the movie is trying to be as incoherent as Revelations and it succeeds in this, in my opinion. Arguably it's even more coherent than that text. Increased comprehensibility would make it less like Revelations, although it may have greatly increased the movie's success.
Damn wait, so y'all have video chat open during these and we don't get to see? :(
It's an audio podcast not a video podcast. They probably speech in their underwear
in all fairness Seann William Scott was amazing in Goon, and Dave Bautista seems to be a good actor so far
I legitimately saw cinema Paradiso last week, I am was trying to think of how long I’d wait for them to talk about it. Thank god it’s only two more weeks
I don't need a Chronicle sequel, but you guys totally forgot Michael B. Jordan starred in that too!
Real Excited for Cinema Paradiso!!!
Sindri Snær Sigurðsson hello Icelander...lucky you
How did you know I was from Iceland?
Sindri Snær Sigurðsson lol, your name gives it away a tiny bit but also I’m like an “Iceland nerd”. I’ve been there many times and love the culture and the people. Spent all of last September there. Was your tourism season a little less annoying this year, last year was terrible from my perspective and I barely even went to the big spots.
Oh that’s awesome dude. Yeah there are a lot of tourists. If might have slowed down a bit but still
Sindri Snær Sigurðsson I might have to wait a little before going back. It was a sea of selfie sticks and people wearing rock climbing clothes in town. I mean I know it’s great for your economy but it must be really annoying sometimes.
southland tales was a great movie, sorry
That is some straight philosophy right there from three leeches of humanity.
I've met Richard Kelly. He's an incredibly nice guy. I didn't hesitate to tell him that Donnie Darko was one of my favorite movies. I didn't have the heart to tell him that I really didn't like Southland Tales.
Also, LA is a fucking nightmare city.
No mention of Tom Waits as a musician/actor?
Midsommar kinda reminded me of 'A Cure for Wellness' yes i liked that movie, fight me if you want
i just watched southland tales last night and fuckin loved it. only non-lynch film i've seen that ACTUALLY feels lynchian. underrated gem.
Midsommar: That time you came to appreciate Nick Cage and bees.
But Midsommar is actually good
I am one of the few people on earth who loves Southland Tales.... It's a spectacular failure, but in such a fun nutty way! The performances are so entertaining, the humour is on point, and the post 9/11 satire is great... I actually like this movie more than Donnie Darko, because of how ambitious it is, and how monumentally it fails... It's like The Room for me!!!! So bad it's great!!!!!💖
Eh, so bad its good films cant be that long.
It’s too fucking long to be a classic midnight movie I think
Just finished Southland Tales, and to be honest, I like what Kelly tried to do, but the execution was just not helpful to the film. I appreciate it, but that doesnt mean I thought it was good, 4/10
Ralph needed to summon the ghost of Yanky Jim for the accent contest
Can't believe Ralph just declared war on religion.
Just a heads up guys: Arrow is going to be releasing a Collector’s Edition for Southland Tales, assuming it’ll include a Cannes Cut with it.
Midsommar was neither disturbing nor scarry. But the score was so insistent that it was a horror movie that it feld very bland. Also the acting was shit from the entire supporting cast^^
Also completely predictable after the first image predictable.
The people jumping down the cliff was hilarious.
