A podcast for movie fans, inspired by Letterboxd. (We're not experts.) Each week artist Danny Haas, spiritual advisor Protolexus, and journeyman podcaster Slim discuss a recently watched film together. A brand new theme each month. Their love for each other cannot be broken. Or can it?
This episode kicks off Blockbusted Volume 3 with a deep dive into Paul Verhoeven's erotic thriller, Basic Instinct (1992). The hosts discuss the film's neo-noir elements, Sharon Stone's powerful performance, and Michael Douglas's controversial character, debating its enduring impact and comparing different cuts. They also touch on major movie news like Denis Villeneuve directing Bond, review other recent watches (F1, The Materialists, The Swimmer, Director and the Jedi), and announce the start of "Sexual Michael Douglas Week" and next week's film, The Postman.
This episode features the reveal of Kathleen Kennedy as the first inductee to Mount Goatmore. The hosts also announce their July Blockbusted picks, including *The Postman*, *Snow White 2025*, *James Gunn's Superman*, and *Gattaca*. The main discussion dives deep into Spielberg's *A.I.
