Movie reviews, Whatcha Watchin podcast, and more
Alexis and Kim take a trip to Asteroid City and discuss Wes Anderson as an auteur, why a memorable visual style is so important, and how an enormous cast of powerhouse players can each stand out in an ensemble.
Asteroid City is Wes Anderson at his most Wes Anderson: meticulously executed, beautifully shot, and a genuinely pleasurable watching experience.
Alexis and Kim chat about Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, their favorite Hollywood Chris, Tetris, AIR, Ben Affleck as a director, and why you probably shouldn’t sing along to the needle drops in movies in the latest episode of the Whatcha Watchin podcast.
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves is a fantasy story more in line with Guardians of the Galaxy than Lord of the Rings. Frankly, that type of lighthearted movie is a welcome one in a landscape where every PG-13 adventure feels weighed down with franchise expectations.
