Month: March 2022

Jesse & Ajit are joined by Tripp Jarvis to watch the newest Batman iteration. The conversation gets sabotaged by bagel metaphors and Yelp reviews conversation. Overabundance of  laughing.

Things discussed:

• Introducing Tripp, his website.
• Ajit’s film on Tripp “Temple of the Heart“.
• Which Batman does the panel prefer?
• The Batman is almost three hours!!
• Seven by David Fincher.
• Watchmen (2009 Film).
• Inherent nihilism in this iteration.
• The power of story.

We are both big fans of Paul Thomas Anderson so Licorice Pizza was a must watch for us.  

Things we discuss:

• Has PTA not playing to his strengths? Ajit has some takes. 
• Early career films: Hard Eight, Boogie Nights, Magnolia, Punch Drunk Love, There Will Be Blood.
• More recent films: The Master, Inherent Vice, Phantom Thread
• More on the eye tracking conversation
• Rushmore 
• Out of Sight
• Taxi Driver
• There is so much running in this film, does it work?
• The Bear
• City Lights
