The Banshees of Inisherin
This is more of a rambling therapy session than an episode.

This is more of a rambling therapy session than an episode.
Jason and Scott. Alex Garland. Let's do it.
Let's talk about Claire Denis' latest 'Stars at Noon'. Starring Margaret Qualley and Joe Alwyn. A steamy romantic thriller set in present day Nicaragua. But before that dear listeners... we've got some business to attend to.
I said, war, huh (good God, y'all) What is it good for? Absolutely nothing, just say it again War (whoa), huh (oh Lord) What is it good for? Absolutely nothing, listen to me - Edwin Starr
It's our Halloween episode! After all, what's scarier than a musical genius with no impulse control? Eric and Scott speaking as the definitive authorities on the world of Classical Music break down the years most hyped movie. Oh and Highlander too, can't forget about that.
To quote 'In God's Country' from the seminal 1987 record Joshua Tree by U2. "Naked flame / She stands with a naked flame / I stand with the sons of Cain / Burned by the fire of love / Burned by the fire of love." Eric and Scott talk 2022's God's Country by Julian Higgins. Also, Bono rules.
Six hosts this episode. What could go wrong? I guess everyone wanted to get in on the HOT gossip surrounding Olivia Wilde’s troubled sophomore movie Don’t Worry Darling. Should you be worried? Tune in to find out! Intro music by https://www.ashamaluevmusic.com/orchestral-music **this episode is not monetized**. All other music by the GOD like @ongodbruhbeats. Art by Macayla Lankford....
***DISCLAIMER*** Neither Eric or Scott have seen all 119 A24 movies. I'm guessing you ain't either. In order to do this we took the 36 titles Scott has seen and the 32 Eric has seen and cross referenced to create a list that covers us both. This is just for fun, please don't get all bent out of shape over what we rank and where we rank it. Life's too short, like what you like, love what you love. Thanks for listening!
We LOVE a Whodunnit here at Movies Last Night. Tom George directs Sam Rockwell and Saoirse Ronan in a 50's set British crime caper. Join Zach, Scott and Jason as we have a great time talking about this years coziest movie. Perhaps the biggest mystery of all is strange case of Jason's microphone! Apologies in advance, thankfully we fixed the issue and everything gets back to normal quickly.
I'll never forget my first apartment. Damp, cold and falling apart. It has nothing on Robert's luxurious basement apartment, let alone his wonderful new roommates. I'm joking. Not for the feint of heart, Eric and Scott dive into Owen Kline's funny, poignant and downright repulsive 'Funny Pages'. Join us for a brief history lesson on the world of Underground Comic Books courtesy of our old friend Wikipedia and some laughs along the way. The real sleeper hit of A24's 2022 catalog is here.

Then there were two. Eric and Scott back to square one. On this episode we are talking Emily the Criminal starring Aubrey Plaza and Theo Rossi by writer-director John Patton Ford. Art by Macayla Lankford and Music by Incorporated.
This week Eric, Zach and Scott have a brief chat about A24's new teen thriller Bodies Bodies Bodies. In rare form this episode is spoiler free, don't thank us... thank my internet for going down mid episode! Did the gang see through the hype? Or is this the latest in a long line of A24 bangers? A follow up episode breaking things down will be coming soon! Art by Macayla Lankford, Music by Incorporated. https://www.macaylalankford.com
The one and only Elliott Neece makes his long awaited return to the show for an in person, long-form discussion with Scott and Chris. Elliott chose two Movies to discuss, Luca Guagagnino's 2018 absolute masterpiece reimagining of 'Suspiria' and the less controversial but still difficult 'Goodnight Mommy' by Veronika Franz & Severin Fiala. This is our full unedited conversation. We hope you enjoy! Art by Macalya Lankford & Scott Anderson. Music by Incorporated.
This week we have a full house at MLN. Daniel returns to join Eric, Zach, Chris and Scott to talk about Jordan Peele's new movie 'Nope'. Also on this episode we decide to finally put the nail in our credentials as podcast hosts by playing our first ever game of movie trivia. Oh Boy. Perhaps you'll leave us for ever? It certainly made me laugh though. All new art by the incredibly talented (@feralxfox) Macayla Lankford https://www.macaylalankford.com and music for this episode by Incorporated....
Just in the nick of time. Apologies for the slightly late posting but this episode took a long time to record and a long time to edit! So here it is, the conclusion to our epic Tarantino Tier List. Will Zach, Eric and Scott come to any consensus at all on Kill Bill 2? Is Death Proof any good? Well you're going to have to press play to find out! Side Note: This is just our opinion, we all love movies, some more than others. Don't forget it's totally fine to disagree with us, and Film is a subject...
Hold your horses... before we get into doing our first ever 'Tier List' we had to get our thoughts on Thor Love & Thunder out of the way. So once we finish our reactions to the MCU's latest cash cow the lads get into a tier list for the divisive but nonetheless infamous Quentin Tarantino. Here is a few things to note, SPOILERS out of the gate for Thor, and since we didn't predict how long we'd go and the fact that my laptop would die whilst recording, this is part one of a two part opus. Exp...
Eric and Scott are quite clearly Soul Mates, so it's perfectly fitting the original MLN crew team up to talk about Cooper Raiff's superlative sophomore movie Cha Cha Real Smooth. If ever there was time the world needed life advice from two white straight dudes... well actually. Regardless, we talk love, life, and being smitten. We hope you listen along! Art by Scott Anderson, Music by Heartthrob.
This week the gang talk about Zach's most anticipated move of the year 'The Black Phone'. Did Scott Derrickson's Ethan Hawke led child endangerment movie live up to the early buzz? We also talk about our favorite 'Escape' themed movies, self serve cleaning at AMC and catching a few hours sleep at the multiplex.
Jason and Scott continue their 'Page to Picture' series by talking about Jeff VanderMeer's novel and its subsequent adaption to the screen by Alex Garland. Join us for a journey into Area X. Hopefully the boys don't get lost in 'The Shimmer'.
It's our 50th episode!!! To celebrate we decided to record in person for the first time ever! So once we got holed up in Erics basement with a huge pizza we decided to make a knockout bracket by choosing 8 movies from his extensive collection. Join us as we play our elimination game and see how we ended up watching Panos Cosmatos' breathtaking sophomore feature Mandy. Oh and we get into our favorite Nicolas Cage joints too. Music by Chris Roland and Scott Anderson. Art by Scott.
Joined for a stroll down memory lane by Christian Abler, Scott goes on a heavy spoiler retelling of his favorite childhood movie The Wizard. A quintessential road trip movie starring Fred Savage, Beau Bridges, Christian Slater and a pre indie royalty Jenny Lewis. Slip on your Power Glove, it's going to be righteous.
Written and Directed by Eskil Vogt, The Innocents is a distressing and unflinching look at childhood told during the seemingly never ending Nordic summer. This week Chris, Eric and Scott recant old childhood memories, rank their favorite creepy kids in movies and discuss the perils of homemade Jerky. Spoilers will be forewarned! As always music by Keeko, @ongodbruhbeats and Scott Anderson. Art by Scott Anderson.
This week we are talking Chloe Okuno's 2022 thriller 'Watcher'. Before that Scott shares his spoiler free thoughts on Top Gun : Maverick and the gang discuss their favorite movies all about some good old fashioned stalking. Music by @ongodbruhbeats. Art by Scott Anderson.
As an extra special bonus, Scott interviews Jason Sledge for his thoughts and impressions on Men. Recorded prior to the main episode this took place directly after we caught the movie at our local AMC. We hope you enjoy!
Just a bunch of dudes chatting about dudes. On this episode the gang give their personal Top 5 movies of the year so far before jumping into the nightmarish fever dream that is 'Men', Alex Garland's new A24 banger. Does it 'Slap' as the kids say? We'll try to figure it out. Music as always by @ongodbruhbeats. Art by Scott Anderson.
Brian De Palma's 1981 classic Blow Out is the subject of todays episode. Scott, Eric and Zach talk popular conspiracies and the movies they inspire, before getting down to business with the movie many consider to be De Palma's finest and perhaps John Travolta's greatest performance... yes, even better than Battlefield Earth!
Ouch, that was uncomfortable. Eric and Scott talk High School Reunions, old friends and learning when to let go. Oh, then we discuss 2022's All My Friends Hate Me, a superb exercise in pushing the viewers cringe tolerance to new extremes. Art by @myoldsoandso Music by @ongodbruhbeats
In our first ever 'Book Club' episode join Jason and Scott as we discuss Steig Larsson's 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' and David Fincher's 2011 film adaptation starring Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig.
Hakuna Matata. From Hamlet to The Lion King this classic tale of revenge has been told many times in cinema, so therefore we were all waiting with baited breath to see what Robert Eggers could do with in his own words a 'Popcorn' movie. Scott, Eric, Zach and Jason rambled into the early morning with our thoughts. This is an abridged/edited version of that conversation we thought we'd share with our listeners. Expect the 'Directors Cut' to release alongside Eggers' own, hopefully sometime in the ...
