This week on Two Girl Cinema Club, Broadway comes to our living rooms as we explore some popular musicals. Before we dive into those, we discuss our thoughts on 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple and If I Had Legs I’d Kick You. Since it was a long weekend, we were both able to catch a matinee showing of The Bone Temple, and we were left wondering exactly where the final film in the trilogy is going to go. We both enjoyed the film, but feel you have to look at the 28 Years Later films separately from 28 Days Later. Last week, Hannah watched If I had Legs I’d Kick You, and Ailish was able to watch it so we could discuss it on the pod. There are definite comparisons to Die My Love, and we can’t get over Rose Byrne’s memorable performance. Ailish also caught up with The Ugly Stepsister and Hannah watched a couple documentaries and Bone Lake.

When a musical is done right, it shows on the stage and the screen. Surprisingly, neither of us had seen Hamilton even though it was one of the most acclaimed musicals of all time. Since this was a filmed version of the stage performance, we really felt the magic of the original production and were so impressed by the actor’s abilities. On the flip side, we have tick, tick…BOOM! Unfortunately, this one didn’t land for seven though we did feel that Jonathan Larson’s story is compelling. Maybe the original, one-man show would’ve worked better, but this film adaptation was just trying to do too much. Lastly, we have Little Shop of Horrors. We might have a bit of a soft spot for this musical since we have fond memories of seeing our local high school production when we were in grade school, but this was our first time watching the film version. It’s so cute and well done, and the songs really stick with you!

In this episode of Two Girl Cinema Club, we take a trip to the Westcoast! The films we cover this week showcase Los Angeles and prove why filmmakers are inspired by the city again and again. Before we dive into the City of Angeles, we touch on some highlights from the Golden Globes, some industry news, and two extra movies we watched this week: If I Had Legs I’d Kick You and Oh, Hi!

We Love LA! To start this week’s theme, we watched Mulholland Drive. This is an iconic film by David Lynch that left us confused, mesmerized, and Googling fan theories. We both agreed that this neo-noir warrants a second viewing to really understand it. Nightcrawler is arguably one of Jake Gyllenhaal’s best performances. He’s so good in these freaky little roles, and the concept keeps you engaged the entire time. Tangerine is one of Sean Baker’s well-known, early films, and it was all shot on an iPhone. At first, it definitely showed and we weren’t sure about the acting/script. As it went on, the film grew on us, but there were some characters and storylines that worked better than others. Lastly, we have Boyz n the Hood. We couldn’t believe this film was made by a 23-year-old John Singleton. It’s one that doesn’t really have a solid plot, but because it feels so real, you end up so emotionally invested by the end. A true gem with some great performances.

It’s Timothée Chalamet Week in honor of Marty Supreme and the awards race. The Critics Choice Awards happened last week, so we briefly touched on some of the surprise wins, including Timmy for Best Actor. We also discussed some of the other films we caught up with over the week. Ailish watched the Netflix documentary, The Perfect Neighbor, and Hannah watched Challengers, Uncut Gems, and Bad Guys. It was a great time to talk about Uncut Gems since there have been so many comparisons to what the Safdie Brothers did there and what Josh Safdie did with Marty Supreme. We also talk about the, very disappointing, Stranger Things finale episode and “Conformity Gate”. Is anyone else still holding out hope that a 9th episode will come, or are we just being delusional?

Our theme this week was Timothée Chalamet, so we watched some films where he played smaller roles and his breakout film. We started with Hot Summer Nights which we had both heard of, but didn’t know too much about. Unfortunately, this one wasn’t great even though Timothée did give a good performance. A Rainy Day in New York is one of the most controversial films in Timmy’s filmography because of the allegations against Woody Allen. While this film had some really beautiful settings, the writing fell flat for us and the overall story just didn’t work at all. Bones and All was definitely better compared to the first two we watched. Again, we thought Timothée gave a great performance, but there was something missing for us. The film that made Timothée Chalamet a star is definitively Call Me by Your Name. Ailish had never seen this one before, but this was a rewatch for Hannah. This one blows us away from beginning to end and it’s clear to see that Timmy was a star right from the beginning.
