from extended clip · host eddie / malcolm / jt
00:00 - 29:12 - Miami Blues 29:12 - 1:03:26 - Malcolm in the Middle This week's pod is on Miami Blues — clearly the work of a filmmaker who didn't get to direct anything in the 80s and is making up for lost time in 1990. The pastel sheen of the film feels like immediate nostalgia for a TV show that had just left the air, but the plotting feels more like a pulp novel than either visual medium. Baldwin and Ward play up the black comedy and cynicism of the material, while Jennifer Jason Leigh's empathetic heroine feels more like the work of producer Jonathan Demme. on Malcolm in the Middle, we talk about caffeine and eating money before we get into the movies. Malcolm's Multiplex Minute returns with a quick report on The Beekeeper, JT checks out Lang's Spies, and Eddie talks about Hell Drivers before addressing the truck drivers of the audience. donate to the patreon for an extra episode every week -- https://www.patreon.com/Extended_Clip and email the show. you write it, we read it -- [email protected]
