Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Joker: Folie à Deux
Q: What were your thoughts on performances?
The performances, particularly of Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, varied in quality for both hosts, with Phoenix delivering more of the same and Gaga needing more character development.
Drop The Studio It's What's Inside
Q: What were your overall impressions of the film Drop?
Both hosts felt the film had good moments but also struggled with pacing and character decisions, leading to a mixed review overall.
Sing Sing The Brutalist Monkey
Q: What's your review of The Monkey?
I thought it was fun and entertaining, much better than Long Legs, though while I appreciated the performances, I wish the character development was deeper for the adult versions of the twins.
Sing Sing The Brutalist Monkey
Q: What are your thoughts on Sing Sing?
I think this was one of my top films of the year, I love the style of the cinematography of it, and it has enough of an element where you just feel more of this authenticity than I think I get in a lot of other films these days.
Opus Never Stopped
Q: What was your take on OPUS?
It was a film with some interesting ideas and concepts, but I thought the execution was pretty slapdash.
