Hello, movie maniacs! If you find yourself in times of trouble, Mother Mary may be the soothing blast of surreality you need. The newest film from David Lowery – the talented writer-director who has managed to straddle the line between personal and commercial films with some success. Starring Anne Hathaway as pop diva Mother Mary whose success has reduced her creative vision to routine, who seeks healing from her former friend and costumer Sam (Michaela Coel). Naturally the two must confront a ghostly presence that has entwined itself in their lives. The movie also features some fine acting from Hunter Schafer and FKA Twigs, and songs by Charlie XCX and Jack Antonoff sung by Miss Hathaway herself. Can Lowery successfully merge a stage drama with a glossy music video? Well, let Dave and Mary fansplain it for you! Finally, Mary has some thoughts about The Drama with Zendaya and Robert Pattinson, as a couple whose marriage plans are knocked askew by an explosive revelation, and Super Mario Galaxy. Thanks for listening.

Judge not lest ye be Judge Reinhold. I think it says that somewhere in the Bible or maybe Robert McKee’s Story. Anyhoo, Vicky Van, Eric Fell and Jason Dedrick are back to talk about their memories of 1984’s Beverly Hills Cop. Will they forget to talk about Bronson Pinchot? Don’t be ridiculous. As a nod to Pinchot’s Serge, the hosts enjoy an Espresso Martini with Lemon. Also since it’s a buddy movie, they will also dine on A & W Buddy Burgers. But we’re just Neutron Dancing around the real issue, did they make a tribute drink? Yes! The Banana in the Tailpipe. Want to make it? Add to blender: One cup of milk (dairy or otherwise) One half cup of ice One banana (ideally frozen) One ounce of Kahlua Blend, pour into a tumbler and garnish with a slice of banana Review from producer’s wife: Totally awesome. Like visiting a mall in the ’80s and getting a better version of an Orange Julius. If you make The Banana in the Tailpipe or, better yet, make up a drink of your own, please send a picture to [email protected] by following this link! Even if you don’t, we’d still love to hear from you. Also let us know what you think of the show and if you have any suggestions for future films.

Hello, movie maniacs! On this episode, Dave and Mary talk about James L. Brooks newest (and maybe last?) film Ella McCay – an existential crisis/family trauma movie presented in the guise of a rom-com.

Hello, movie maniacs! Mary is away this week, taking in the sun and fun at Disneyworld in Orlando, FLA. So Dave has invited his movie-mad friend Sean Condon to drop by and discuss movies, movies, movies. Dave has a theory about the wonderful Elaine May’s career as a film director. Could she have made more films? What got in the way of her productivity? Dave compares her career to a fellow New York-based comic, Woody Allen, who flourished through the 70’s and became a better and better filmmaker. Sean brings in some movie memes – or, as Dave insists on calling them: mémés – as a modern example of the sort of pithy reviews that once filled film guides. Both of them mourn the loss of fabulous film grump: Leslie Halliwell. Finally, Sean digs out his list of the L.A. Times Top 101 Top L.A. Movies They go through the list with some interest and discuss the Top 15 films, which aren’t just excellent films about L.A., but are some of the best films ever made. Let us know your favourite L.A. film!
