145. ME, MYSELF & THE VOID (2024) dir. Tim Hautekiet

Please rate & review The Movies on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever else you listen to the show!---In ME, MYSELF AND THE VOID, Jack (Jack De Sena) discovers his stand-up comedy routine has a rude punchline: It's not real. Jack is actually passed out on his bathroom floor and the comedian we see is Jack's mind, stuck in his subconscious alongside an imagined version of Jack's best friend, Chris (Chris W. Smith).Said space, which I assume to be the titular void, is just that: darkness, broken only by what looks like a literal Memory Lane, a winding road peppered with spotlights and trinkets from Jack's life, including his Toyota Corolla (It's no Camry, but we'll forgive him.)Now Void Jack and Void Chris have to solve the whodunnit of what happened to K.O.'d Jack, and how to connect mind and body before the void consumes them both. Do they need to possess Jack's body to call for help? What unresolved business with family, friends or ex-girlfriend Mia (Kelly Marie Tran) might Jack have to settle?In the void, all shall be revealed, in a humorous, poignant, well-acted-and-produced manner. And for this budget? Shit, it's impressive.---Follow The Movies on ⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠& ⁠⁠Letterboxd⁠⁠Financially support the podcast via the ⁠⁠tip jar!
