022. Gran Turismo, The Last Voyage of the Demeter, Bottoms, and Blue Beetle

Welcome back to the show! On tonight’s episode, Dave and Evan spotlight of the September 1st babies (04:52), relay the latest news and reviews coming out of the 2023 Venice Film Festival (18:54), and address the mailbag (14:47) before getting into our four feature films for the evening. They first revved themselves up for Neil Blomkamp’s adaptation of the popular video game “Gran Turismo” (22:16). Then, they boarded the ill-fated titular vessel to talk “The Last Voyage of the Demeter” (37:48) before checking out Emma Seligman’s follow-up to “Shiva Baby” with “Bottoms” (49:00). Lastly, before touching on “Meg 2: The Trench” in the saddest Rec or Dreck segment to date (59:22), they braved yet another superhero movie in the theater, this time for the DCEU’s penultimate entry in “Blue Beetle” (01:02).
