We need another Awards Retrospective❤️❤️

[@anthonywilliams2231]

Seconded!!

[@VinelSeason]

Hell yes we do

[@slimnave4846]

I'd think 2001 or 2002 would be good years to cover

[@ReidScott-vu3zk]

@@slimnave4846 YES Björk’s Vespertine swan dress must be discussed on this channel!

[@gabrielcastaneda9700]

I want a retrospective on 2004 lost in translation vs return of the king

[@joaocosta5193]

not the gay oh

[@enanm8687]

i was laughing when he said that 🤣

[@KyleALarkins]

I think the problem is that everyone saw Mia play a very emotionally open character, Pearl; and so when they get to Maxxxine they’re expecting her to progress into a Pearl. Where she states in interviews that Maxine is a focused/strategic character rather than Pearl who has a deep passion but does nothing to really go for it. I don’t really agree with the review since I don’t think the context was clear to you both. But everyone is free to have their opinion. 🤷‍♂️

[@KevinZeph]

but how could she cry like that on command and perform such an emotionally astute audition, but then be so cold strategic and somewhat hollow throughout the rest of the film? its like Ti wanted all the call backs from pearl and x but not to carry the soul of the archetype through the three consistently. that character choice you are describing above may have been the weak point that flattened the whole movie. and therefore kind of wasted the whole trilogy....

[@KyleALarkins]

@@KevinZeph Well, she’s an actress. That’s what they do; conjure emotion to carry a scene. Maxine was never an expressive character to begin with when centered around people. Unlike Pearl who was completely the opposite. I think it just feels hindered because we know how effective Mia Goth is at portraying these larger than life personalities with wild emotions. Maxine just caters to a more calculative mindset, which can be effective if the material permits. I do think there should be more of a relation between Pearl and her as characters to complete the spirit of the trilogy. And maybe that’s what Ti will give us with a potential fourth installment.

Was waiting for this!! Love you guys.

Gi-ALL-oh

[@warrenjohns3194]

gay-o?? giallo???

[@KnarfStein]

Yeah, WTF. Since they present themselves as film buffs, there's no excuse for butchering this word's pronunciation so atrociously.

[@warrenjohns3194]

@@KnarfStein are you joking?

[@chrisbarone9327]

Love you guys but giallo is pronounced “Jah-Low”. In Italian two L’s are not silent, they are pronounced.

[@Milosh111]

Wait... did he just mispronounce "giallo" in the worst possible way? I usually enjoy their reviews, but talking about horror films is not their strength...

[@celluloidfag]

gayo

[@Sam_ijbol]

i thought he said gayo like the film was promoted as a gay/queer film 😭

[@kashoot4782]

[@pb.j.1753]

They seem to hate googling things like "how to pronounce x"

[@cinemacola6398]

When he pronounced it gayo, a part of me died.

[@SleepFan771]

Too bad that MaXXXine sounds disappointing, but the review is worth it to hear Brother Bro pronounce Italian stylized horror genre Giallo as "Gay-O"

[@GareBare90]

No, I'm a star!

[@drewmcgill5290]

I agree with everything said. Surprised how haphazard the screen play was. I will say them killing the one black character was 100% 80’s horror lol

[@bluescat59]

I know you know this already, but you guys are really good at what you do. You verbalize what went on here perfectly 👏

[@Wheresrafael95]

Love your reviews and I know horror is not both your strong suit but the horror sub genre you were referring to Giallo (black gloved killer, pop color aesthetics, Italian horror) is pronounced GEE-AH-LOW. 😉

[@kashoot4782]

Wait so what was the distasteful scene? I just got back from the cinema

[@nicholasjoseph8297]

Im guessing the Kevin Bacon death.

[@cescperez7138]

What was distasteful about the video store death scene?

[@whalisten]

Tbh that was probably the highlight of the entire movie for me

[@NathanialAshtier]

I watched this while my babies were sleeping and I thought they had woken up because I heard crying in the middle. :)

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks to OE and BB! 😨 Since you asked... honey, I broke out of the porn industry twenty years ago.

[@murf9739]

Have you guys seen La Chimera? I do not think it is eligible for the upcoming oscar’s but I’d like to hear your thoughts on it

[@celluloidfag]

the oscar expert talked about it during cannes 2023 but i don’t think brother bro’s seen it yet

[@thefilmseeker]

Cole saw it in Cannes last year. Didn't care for it, but I love all things Alice (Le pupille notwithstanding).

[@murf9739]

@@thefilmseeker Really? I liked it, not as much as Lazzaro but I still did. I must’ve missed their review.

I had a good time overall with the film. thought the third act didn't work though sadly.

👁 AM SHOCKED BECAUSE THIS MOVIE WAS DESIGNED FOR YOUR GENERATION. AT TIMES 👁 AM IMPRESSED BY THESE TWINS. THEY ARE BOTH BORN AFTER 2000 AND CAN ALMOST KEEP UP WITH ME EVEN THOUGH 👁 AM TWICE THEIR AGE. THEY HAVE BEEN 2 CANNES 4 TIMES AND 👁 HAVE ONLY BEEN TO PARIS TEXAS. MOST KIDS USE THE WORDS LIKE AND DUDE AND IT DRIVES ME UP THE BLEEDIN WALL. THE ONLY EAST T.I. WEST HIGHWAY MOVIE THAT 👁 LIKED WAS THE SACRAMENT. INSTEAD OF WATCHING THIS DROSS 👁 WOULD RECOMMEND FOR THE PARODY JOHN WATER'S TIMELESS CLASSIC "SERIAL MOM" FROM MY GENERATION. FOR THE ANTI-HEROINE MAYHEM, LUCKY MCKEE'S "MAY." THIS THRILLOGY AT BEST IS TEPID FOR THIS VETERAN CINEPHILE. 👁 AM GOING ON THE TWINS "GRAM" AS IT IS CALLED.

Fave comment in this whole section

[@Starkardur]

The trailer looked bad - I am not surprised if hasn't turned out to be great.

[@marycsta]

6:45 "I thought it was just good" haha. This is the problem with "today's critics", you want all films to be wow incredible, for the Oscars, I miss when we went to the cinema just to watch a "good film" and forget about the world for a bit.

[@metalfacemoviereviews8979]

Hello Mary! :) hope all is well . I think All films should aspire to be incredible! Maybe not all should aspire to be Oscar worthy but I think you should always reach for the stars if you’re a filmmaker. Btw I’m curious did you like the movie?

[@janejane-tk3wx]

ok?

[@emiliorod6979]

The whole trilogy is trash.
