43: Dune (2021)
<p>To talk about Dune is to dissect the complex layers of Frank Herbert’s worldbuilding and storytelling, famously considered difficult to adapt for film simply because of its grand scope. Fortunately, Denis Villeneuve’s take on the first half of the story is an immersive cinematic experience that just washes over you like a sandstorm. We were enamored by the theatricality of it all, from the extravagant costumes to the scale of the action set pieces, particularly in IMAX format.</p> <p>We had plenty to discuss in terms of book lore and we obtain clarity on some details, but we don’t spoil any key moments the first movie doesn’t get to. It’s a highly political story that has plenty to say about imperialism, and we had many questions ahead in regards to how Villeneuve will adapt core themes within part two, particularly those of Paul, the prophesy, and the Bene Gesserit. We’re also joined by a familiar voice for longtime listeners, our friend Will from the great beyond. All of this is to say that Dune asks you to seek one significant, unknowable truth: Who up playing with they worm?</p> <p>Subscribe to our Substack!

42: No Time To Die (2021)
<p>No Time To Die features Rami Malek as a classical Bond villain out to destroy the world, but it’s merely the set dressing. At its core, the final entry in Daniel Craig’s Bond’s arc is a dramatic story about the passage of time and the inescapable nature of James Bond’s work. He’s no longer 007. His grueling career has taken a heavy toll on him. But one final time, he’s pulled back into spy work to protect his loved ones. The stakes have never been higher in a Bond movie, and director Cary Fukunaga really maximized the finale of the five film arc, while also paying tribute to the franchise’s long history.</p> <p>On this episode we condemn poor science lab safety practices and refer to James Bond as a "$400M soap opera."</p> <p>Subscribe to our Substack!

41: Spider-Man 2 (2004)
<p>We’re nostalgic for Spider-Man 2 for a multitude of reasons: Sam Raimi’s signature camp-infused humor, wild action with a splash of horror, and a poignant emotional core all make the second Spider-film a timeless classic. The vertical fight choreography! The crazy camera angles! The large Italian man on the train!! For a 17 year old film, it sure feels like Raimi set a gold standard for superhero films that has yet to be topped. With the MCU teasing the return of Alfred Molina’s Doc Ock (and potentially more), it’s not a bad idea to break out the pizza for a nostalgic viewing of the film that started it all.</p> <p><strong>What’s next week’s film?</strong></p> <p>The Matrix (1999)</p> <p><a href="http://motionpicturepals.com/" rel="nofollow ugc noopener"><strong>Motion Picture Pals</strong></a><strong> </strong>is hosted by <a href="https://twitter.com/CallCameron" rel="nofollow ugc noopener"><strong>Cam Call</strong></a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/r_markillie" rel="nofollow ugc noopener"><strong>Rebekah Markillie</strong></a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/warwick_51" rel="nofollow ugc noopener"><strong>Caleb Warwick</strong></a><strong>, </strong>and producer <a href="https://twitter.com/adobotime" rel="nofollow ugc noopener"><strong>Travis Lien</strong></a>.</p> <p>Subscribe on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/star-wars-rewatch/id1468824637?uo=4" rel="nofollow ugc noopener"><strong>Apple Podcasts</strong></a><strong> | </strong><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/7KLvcLSw7xD2lDEk318ytW" rel="nofollow ugc noopener"><strong>Spotify</strong></a><strong> | </strong><a href="https://overcast.fm/itunes1468824637/star-wars-rewatch" rel="nofollow ugc noopener"><strong>Overcast</strong></a><strong> | </strong><a href="https://anchor.fm/s/bc3f6e4/podcast/rss" rel="nofollow ugc noopener"><strong>Other</strong></a>- <a href="https://anchor.fm/s/bc3f6e4/podcast/rss" rel="nofollow ugc noopener"><strong>https://anchor.fm/s/bc3f6e4/podcast/rss</strong></a></p> <p>Follow us on <a href="http://twitter.com/motionpicpals" rel="nofollow ugc noopener"><strong>Twitter</strong></a>: <a href="http://twitter.com/motionpicpals"><strong>@MotionPicPals</strong></a></p> <p>Join the discussion: <a href="https://discord.gg/ntwpMeX" rel="nofollow ugc noopener"><strong>Discord</strong></a><strong> - </strong><a href="http://bit.ly/motionpicturepals" rel="nofollow ugc noopener"><strong>http://bit.ly/motionpicturepals</strong></a></p> <p>Read and subscribe to updates: <a href="https://motionpicturepals.substack.com/">https://motionpicturepals.substack.com/</a></p>
