"Pray for the best, prepare for the podcast" - Dave decides to watch a "feel good" movie as he takes 2013's Prisoners off the shelf this week. Phil vaguely remembered seeing it when it first came out but was quickly taken by the film, the performances and the direction. He proclaims that Villeneuve is one of his guys and Dave can't help but agree that Roger Deakins is incredible. Dace also (fill in blank) - There aren't really any likable characters here but we liked it anyway.

"You're going to destroy Podcasts, where Podcasts began" - As the world deals with some questionable decisions, Phil's takes 1999's Deterrence off the shelf this week. Dave appreciates and admires what it can pull from the this tiny diner but doesn't necessarily like what's on the menu. Phil remembers being enthralled by this movie upon first viewing. He recounts how he began the film lying down, then sat up and leaned forward as the story unfolded. Both find the director makes the single setting to be interesting if not dynamic. The final message of the film is a little lost in the 26 years since it was made.

"I'm just here for the podcast" - Dave is heading to the outback again as he takes 1981's Mad Max 2: Road Warrior off the shelf this week. Phil was left so unimpressed with Mad Max last month that he was hesitant to go back in the world. Luckily for him it is far more in line with Fury Road than Mad Max. He finds that it more closely resembles the tone and style of the later film but still wonders how good at his job Max really is. Dave is happy to revisit the franchise and finally watch what has been on his shelf for a long time. He does questions if it is necessary to watch the first movie to get all that this movie has to say, enjoys the structure and leaves curious about what lies ahead.
