Jim and A.Ron want to be your neighbor. Won’t you be one?
Jim and A.Ron are watching the Watchmen. In this episode, we will be your sponsors where you can find support for your extra-dimensional anxiety. If you’d like to check out the paper A.Ron cites in the feedback section, it’s called “The Great Recession and Land and Housing Loss in African American Communities: Case Studies from Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, and Mississippi”, by Nembhard, College, and Otabor (Part 1; Part 2).
We saw the Ford v Ferrari tonight, and got exactly what we were bargaining for. A film about cars designed to go fast and the men who are driven to, uh, drive them. There’s lots of cussin’ and fussin’ and punchin’, and going real fast. All driving strategy is reduced to shifting a gear and hitting the gas at the dramatically appropriate moment, and there isn’t a lot of depth and complexity. But man, the cars are beautiful, the driving action intense, and the sound design amazing. If you were looking forward to seeing this film like we were, then it’s hard to imagine you’ll be disappointed. And if you weren’t? Well, see us back next week for A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood!

Jim and went to see Dr. Sleep tonight, and left the theater wide awake. It’s not The Shining, but it doesn’t try to be. Instead, it does it’s own thing, which in retrospect is appropriate for a movie about an adult Danny Torrance, who battles his father’s demons with addiction to emerge a better man. The cast is amazing, led by the ever engaging Ewan McGreggor and relative newcomer Kyliegh Curran as the brightest Shine of a generation. Director Mike Flanagan (Gerald’s Game) once again proves a deft hand adapting Stephen King. Don’t go in expecting Kubrick, and we think you’ll be pleased. See you next week for Ford v. Ferrari!
Jim and A.Ron are watching the Watchmen. They talk about the appearance of the Silk Spectre, who came prepared with jokes, as well as what is missing. There are stories within stories happening all at once.
Jim and A.Ron are watching the Watchmen, specifically episode 2, “Martial Feats of Comanche Horsemanship” and all of the meanings that title could have. Everyone is someone else, and nobody is what they seem. Finally, Jim and A.Ron consider your feedback and theories.
