Real date night stuff going on here. 


With Apocalypse Now, Francis Ford Coppola really cemented his legacy for pushing the boundaries of filmmaking, and it nearly killed him. James Gray claims Lost City of Z nearly killed him as well, but I think he’s just being funny. Both movies can be seen as experiments from their respected directors as to whether they could actually pull off the insane in service of the art, and I think they are both successful.

It tends to mean that your movie has flopped and made no money, but also that years later people have rediscovered the movie and cherish it. Donnie Darko is certainly one such movie. From a director that has more or less gone on to do nothing, Donnie Darko continues to stump and confound audiences with what it actually means. The second half concerns Ken Russell, perhaps the patron saint of cult classics.

It comes in all shapes, sizes, and settings (unless that setting is the 2022 World Cup…but lets not go down that road). But the two movies this week take different looks at the exciting rollercoaster ride of falling in love. Whether that be unconventionally with your computer, or a little more conventionally with another person. One is jam packed with fun futuristic world building touches, and the other a more grounded and tactile period piece.

They never really go away because they are so cheap and easy to make. However, what do you get when you take some of the most genuinely talented filmmakers ever, and give them something that just plays around with our long established expectations of what a Western should be. The two movies this week see the first real subversion of the genre, by an Italian filmmaker who had no personal connection to the romantic ideals of the genre, and then eventually with two filmmakers who have redefined American storytelling many times over.

But if this is it, better to go out with one of the absolute best. The Exorcist has been called the scariest movie since the day it was released. So what makes this movie’s reputation so lasting? Well I try to unpack that question. This would have been easier to do with a second person, and I did originally have one, but for “technical reasons” I’m going solo this time.

The term “elevated horror” is probably equal parts celebrated for its attempts at bringing new ideas, different themes, and certain styles to the horror genre, but also derided for being a bit snobby. You can classify either or both of the movies this week as elevated horror or not (the term didn’t exist when Rosemary’s Baby was released), but what is clear is both movies have more on their mind than just delivering some cheap thrills and scares…even though both eventually do deliver on that promise as well.

Scream has endured as a classic for so long because it successfully does two things. Firstly, it delivers on the basic level of a teen slasher. The characters are fun to hang out with. The killer is creative and fresh. Secondly, it is a brilliant send up of all the horror movie tropes that had become boring and tired by the time Scream was released. You can go back many times and pick up new references or hints that Craven and Williamson were setting their sights a little higher than normal for these movies. While the franchise as a whole has certainly dipped at points, this is perhaps one of the most consistently strong horror franchise that we have today. With the release of Scream 5 this past year the franchise seems poised to take another new step under two new writers/directors who clearly grew up on these movies, and love them as much as the fans.

The found footage trend was certainly around before The Blair Witch Project, but definitely not in the way it would be afterwards. However, I think that movie often gets lumped in with the cheap imitators who took all the wrong lessons. One movie that did learn the right lessons from The Blair Witch Project though was Neil Marshall's claustrophobic creature feature The Descent.

Is there an obligation to be factual and true, or should the filmmakers get a little more wiggle room to explore themes and ideas within the framework of telling someone's life story? I've grown extremely tired of movies literally just playing the hits from someone's life (mostly done for musicians or bands). The new Netflix movie based on the fictionalized version of Marilyn Monroe certainly pushes boundaries and asks these questions, but if this is the end result I'm not sure this is what I would want either.

The best sci-fi movies ask probing questions, and reflect our reality in a way that make us think about issues in a new and fresh way... Don't Worry Darling doesn't really do any of that. We breakdown the many controversies, what we liked and didn't like, the performances, and try to answer some of the questions we were left turning over in our minds when we walked out of the theatre.

But in this recommendation episode I wanted to look at a couple movies that are using our expectations of the horror genre against us, and delivering something pretty unique.
