Cries and Whispers is my favorite Bergman film too. I'd *love* to find a deeper discussion of its (and much of Bergman's other) queer subtext---it's such an important dimension of his work, and I think it's closely related to the themes of intimacy and repression he explores so effectively in films like this and Persona. I wish you guys had spent a little more time on the film, but the rest of your cast was fun too. Subscribed!

“…another undeserved Meryl Streep nomination…”. AMEN. ♥️

[@BlakButtaFlyy]

I listen to the podcast via Apple, but it’s also nice to see your faces 😊

[@Chrissy213]

IMHO Joseph is more attractive than Omari. Sue me lol. Thanks for posting a podcast video!

[@TheMdterp]

I agree but I also get where Joseph is coming from because when ppl tell me I look like someone the same thoughts run through my mind. And with some ppl its like no...we are both just light skinned with curly hair.

[@dezreenmacdowell9967]

I believe the scene between Anna and Agnes (the embrace with a bare breast) is reminiscent of the sculpture "La Pieta". The emotional impact is so powerful.

[@elizabetha.188]

Yes to population control (not in a governmental way) I have worked hard my entire adult life to not have kids. I have been told by all my friends (directly or indirectly) that I am being selfish, and that I would love myself more if I had kids. I know a lot of people in my life who shouldn’t be having kids. I didn’t feel the need to tell them why they shouldn’t reproduce. These same people having kids COMPLAIN ALL THE TIME about how expensive kids are. I could talk a lot more but I won’t. Thanks for bringing this up, Joseph 🤩

[@dezreenmacdowell9967]

A very fascinating compilation reviews. You men are amazing. Your reviews are so thorough and thought provoking. Keep up the exceptional work. Thank you.

[@wellergurl]

😱😭😭😭LAAAAWD JESUS NICK !!!! NO YOU DIDN'T HAVE YOUR FAMILY WATCHING CRIES & WHISPERS ON THANKSGIVING ??? 😳😩😩hee heeeeeeeeee !!!! YOU ARE THE BEST ! ❤️❤️❤️👍

[@StevieisRed]

Video podcast? Hell yeah!

[@Anothernammee]

Love seeing this !! I already listen to your guys podcast on apple so this is a nice surprise!

[@nancykerrigan]

I love corn casserole! That's a new dish I've added to my Thanksgiving routine, new favorite along with stuffing/ dressing.

[@charverde4022]

Are you all watching Interview with an Vampire? Interested to hear what you think of the series. 😊

[@henryardoin8513]

I take whole cranberry's break them up a little, a box of sugar free strawberry jello and instead of ice water for the jello use orange juice "! It's great with sweet potato pie. I'm hoping you guys get to spend Christmas together.🤞🤞😎❤️✨❤️✨❤️✨❤️✨❤️✨❤️✨

[@fishjellyfilmreviews]

That combination sounds really good.

[@kanight1]

Okay I love the video podcast format 👏🏾🙌🏾💯🔥👌🏾 also Joseph does resemble Omari Hardwick a little 😂

[@docsnake]

So happy you’re posting your podcasts here now so I can leave comments and my opinionated opinions.😄

[@robertcarsten9478]

My 2 favs. 2nd viewing a couple of days ago, after 24 years, of “Gods and Monsters”. Forgot how good it was. This might be good for a podcast secret movie. Gonna watch podcast #84 now. What a treat to watch and listen. Love ya; keep ‘em comin’ 🤗.

[@TheMdterp]

Yay. First podcast for me and its video. I agree about Thanksgiving. All the buying food and prep and cook time and set up only for that jawn to be over in 30 minutes with nothing but shit to clean up and the struggle to find places for the leftovers to go. I like Joseph and his mom going out to eat. That's what I do with my mom for Christmas now. We started going away. This year we will be in Puerto Vallarta and will be eating out at a restaurant. Nick we are samesies about Julie and Julia. I did not like. Not even the great Meryl could save it. As for Cries and Whispers, only Anna was there to help Agnes. The rest of them heffas were too wrapped up in their stuff to provide the empathy Agnes needed.

[@jujutaylor2186]

Kitty! I love ❤️ that I'm seeing you guys

[@fucksampleclearance2106]

My first podcast upon hundreds and hundreds of reviews ❤️

[@jentalksbooks]

Nick's always joking about Joseph's memory, but damn, it's really been showing lately! Lol! 🤣 (Love ya still, Joseph. Love ya, both!)

[@petrinajones583]

Love this discussion y’all❤❤❤

[@jentalksbooks]

[@wanya_telborn]

Always good to see kitty ❤😊

[@amg9082]

NICK, JOSEPH: have you seen and done a review of Babyteeth??? I just watched it the other night and it's still on my mind. Such an emotional film. I'm dying to see what you guys think about it. Much love to u both ❤️

[@MeagGallagher]

Omg Ernest Borgnine plays a Satanic priest in 1975’s Devil’s Rain and is truly unhinged.

[@matthews5486]

Thanks!

[@fishjellyfilmreviews]

You’re very kind. Thank you!

[@henryardoin8513]

Speaking of bad but good gay camp movies, The Ritz" with Rita Moreno, and Treat Williams, Lord a Mercy, Rita Moreno's character Googie Gomez"!😅😂🤣👍👍 OMG another great campy one not really gay, WHOEVER SLEW AUNTIE ROO" starring Shelly Winters. Bette Midler could totally remake that in the lead roll.😎🤞✌️

[@fishjellyfilmreviews]

I just watched the trailer. We are definitely adding this to the list!

[@TechnicJunglist]

The Ritz is hysterical from start to finish. Classic.

[@henryardoin8513]

@@TechnicJunglist I know Right "! Googie Gomez gets me every time!👍😎😂🤣

[@matina4432]

Joseph’s sermon today honey 13:00 You had to get HIM (60)together!

[@jodirook71]

oh lord you two scared me, i thought one of you had covid with being in different rooms

[@henryardoin8513]

Headwig and the Angry inch" yes please, maybe the greatest soundtrack ever! 😘🏳️‍🌈🥰🌺🥀🤭🤗

[@margagomezcomedy]

Yikes --- I saw this when I was a teenager. It was over my head but - when I think of Ingmar Bergman I think of that scene where she cuts herself with the glass and says "A tissue of lies" But in spite of that I still became a lesbian. LOL

[@shaunfranklin678]

Do you like power rangers

[@clara7920]

Hello; Clara from NYC: It would be extremely nice; if you guys can review a film called the Outfit; love to here your takes on this film

[@denisehoenjet3024]

Are you guys going to review “spoiler alert”?

[@fishjellyfilmreviews]

Yes

[@jacobneale5844]

!!!!! Just coming back to watch and getting into it, 100000 percent nobody owes anybody sex or sexual things. That’s awful, nobody’s time or attention should need to go to emotional coercive from a stranger online.

[@jacobneale5844]

It’s giving Nice Guy Tease or that guy friend who thinks he’s owe something for sticking around

[@jentalksbooks]

Is each podcast now going to air on the YT channel? Or is this a one-off?

[@fishjellyfilmreviews]

I haven’t decided yet. This one was easy to do because we had the video from Zoom. If we continue to post them on KZbin, it would likely be audio-only.

[@japyfilms]

respond to the voluntary extinction guy with a link to squarespace, cant promote the auto-apocalypse on a 90s website. 💀🤣

[@infinite_crew95]

Ww loved this

[@jobeautytime]

Thank you for discussing procreation! I have such mixed feelings when pregnancies are announced and roundly celebrated. It is truly a fraught and complicated ethical issue. And I think dialogue about it is important. As someone who has decided not to have children, I love hearing others discussing these ideas. All perspectives around babies are valid. .Love you two!

[@margagomezcomedy]

Wait NICK what did you rate the movie? I need closure.

[@fishjellyfilmreviews]

He gives it a 5.

[@TechnicJunglist]

I loved Ernest Borgnine. His SNL What Up With That segment is pure joy. He was second in command to the great Bill Holden in my favorite western, The Wild Bunch. Worth a review for sure. It changed the genre from safe to pure action. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYqzZGt3YtOqgrs
