I Can't Believe You Haven't Seen...

The 2010 Dreamworks animated film How To Train Your Dragon was one that Matt had never seen (much to the chagrin of his younger brother). There were poorly named Viking children, there were cute dragons that behaved likely puppies, and Scottish accents. Not sure if he was prepared for all of those, but it did give him and Jess plenty to talk about.
In this episode, they dive into tradition versus knowledge, questionable war planning, and how NOT to raise your child. Matt also believes this film is an entire thematic love letter to university researchers. No, he's not kidding.

One of Matt's favourite films of all time is The Apartment, and he introduced it to Jess many years ago. So for this episode, they decided to share it with their friends Kim and Jason and bring them on the podcast to talk about it! It's the second episode with special guests, and even though there are four voices in it, they definitely share the airtime far more seamlessly than CC Baxter's coworkers did with "sharing" his apartment...
There's a lot of great stuff to talk about in this classic Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine film from 1960: what office work used to look like, the array of very stylish glasses being worn, men behaving badly, the myriad of stellar characters, and Miss Olson (Kim's new hero). It also fits the time of year holiday-wise, and the film has some great moments humour-wise, story-wise, and otherwise...wise. Just don't forget to leave your key under the mat when you leave!

We're heading back to the 1700's where Jess is going to get a taste of the classic 1984 period piece Amadeus, a fictionalized film revolving around Mozart. She had never seen it, and Matt was not able to successfully convince her to wear a powdered wig to watch it. Good thing, because they watched the Director's Cut (which Matt had also never seen) and three hours in a powdered wig does not sound like a good time for anyone.
There is, however, some stellar costuming, acting, and (of course) music to go with all of these hair pieces. Jess gets to talk about the range of father-son relationships, the not-so-subtle religious overtones, genius versus madness, and the concepts of high- and low-brow art. Also, don't bring up the horse on stage...it's a bit of a triggering subject...

Ever the romantic comedy enthusiast *insert sarcasm sign here*, Matt had not ever had the chance to see The Proposal, with peak Sandra Bullock and a wee-baby Ryan Reynolds. Jess did promise him some Betty White hilarity, so at least he knew he had that to look forward to. She didn't warn him about being treated to the only male exotic dancer on a remote Alaskan island, but...really, can you ever be prepared for that?
Outside of this, we will talk about all sorts of topics: unscripted hilarity, cultural appropriation, the romantic comedy genre in the 2000's, "Relax" by Frankie Goes To Hollywood...like the baby-making blanket, there's some fertile ground to cover here!

It's spooky season, and Matt has been able to prep Jess over the course of many months to watch something a bit scary. For our annual October movie watching traditional, we watched the modern classic Get Out. Jess was ready for scares, and she got them...but not exactly as she fully expected.
Anyone that has seen this one knows that Jess was going to have PLENTY to talk about: racial micro- and macro-aggressions, the use of humour, certified bad times, and why the women in the film might be the most evil. Also, we heap praise upon Rod: the hero the people need. Stir your tea slowly, the sunken place awaits!
