Episode 128: Materialists

What this episode covers

SAY I DO WITH OUR NEW REVIEW OF CELINE SONG’S NEW DEUX!Ahhhhh the eternal dilemma:  Marry for true love or for your partner’s deep endless bank account! But seriously, WillDaBeast and Cupcake take on the second film “Materialists” from acclaimed director / playwright Celine Song whose debut film was the multiple critic society and Oscar nominated “Past Lives”. Her new film is an allegoric tale about love and dating in the social media/materialistic 2020’s and follows a matchmaker who has to choose between either Chris Evans or Pedro Pascal. Dakota Johnson (aka Madame Web) wrestles MIGHTILY, folks. Does Johnson bring the acting thunder to this meditation on love and superficiality and wading through dating or is this a mixed bag message that wants its fairy tale cake AND to eat its brutal, emotional warfare icing too? SWIPE RIGHT AND DATE OUR NEW EPISODE! For Plus’s: Mike reviews the Bloc Party concert tour (Silent Alarm live OR greatest hits?) while Jose double plussses Prime’s new gay identity/college shenanigans comedy show “Overcompensating” and “Cleaner”: a Die Hard clone involving…wait for it….a former ex military grunt turned high rise window cleaner who also has an autistic hacker brother who has to save hostages in an environmental terrorist takeover of a corporate launch.
