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.

We’re back after a holiday break for the last part of Harry Potter Holiday! We meant to break this into two parts, but we both were plagued by sickness for a bit longer than we anticipated. In this episode, we also cover Christmas Evil, HIM, and Hannah drops some news on an unexpected collab between M. Night Shyamalan and Nicholas Sparks. We also watched Four Christmases to round out the season since it’s one of our favorite Christmas films. This one is a little controversial and doesn’t have the best reviews, but we think this one is so funny and the chemistry between Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn is great.

We had a lot to cover this episode since we had four Harry Potters to discuss! It had been a little while since we watched The Order of the Phoenix and The Half-Blood Prince, so our memories were a little fuzzy. The holidays took a lot out of us okay?! We then moved onto Parts 1 & 2 of The Deathly Hallows which really blend together to make one, epic finale. We really can’t speak enough on the chemistry of this cast and how the friendship between Harry, Ron, and Hermione makes the movies what they are. When one isn’t there, you really feel something is missing, even though the characters are still good in their own right. Comparing Harry Potter and Stranger Things is really interesting because they’re examples of child actors growing into great and not so great adult actors.

We’re back after a holiday break for a New Year’s Day episode! As planned, we went to see Marty Supreme as soon as we could after Christmas Day. We both loved this movie and were so glad that it held up to the hype. Timothée Chalamet was so convincing as Marty Mauser that we completely believed we were watching the story of a man named Marty instead of Timmy playing a role. This was something you absolutely have to see in theaters, so if you haven’t made it yet, do not wait for this to come to streaming!

We also caught up with the second Stranger Things drop. Unfortunately, we’ve been feeling a little disappointed with this season. After the first drop, we were left in anticipation about Will and his powers, but that deflated pretty quickly in Chapters 5-7. If you’re listening to this now, you might have already watched the finale episode since it dropped last night, but we won’t discuss that on the podcast until next week. We’re hoping it makes for a satisfying, or at least interesting, end to this series, but we’re not feeling super confident about that right now!

This week, we watched the third and fourth movies in the Harry Potter series to continue with Harry Potter Holidays. We also caught up with a couple other Christmas classics and some other films that have been on our watchlists. Hannah watched some holiday horrors in Terrifier 3 and the 1974 Black Christmas. She also watched Eyes Wide Shut which falls into the Christmas category loosely. Ailish watched The Santa Clause and gave Wake Up Dead Man a rewatch. The latter was still entertaining, but we still can’t get over the uproarious laughter from the theater when we watched it at the Chicago International Film Festival. Ailish also watched Phantom Thread which, unfortunately, didn’t live up to the hype for her.

Our main watches this week were Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban and The Goblet of Fire. These films are two of our favorites in the franchise, and for good reason. There’s so much going on in both of these, and the details really make all the difference. It’s been so fun to watch these films in such quick succession because you really notice the changes in quality and the characters. For our holiday pick, we watched National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. If you haven’t seen this one, we’d be absolutely shocked. This one is a classic and the jokes never stop. We definitely laugh through this episode which is a nice contrast to last week’s heavy episode.

We’re kicking off the holiday season with a Harry Potter marathon! These are books and movies we grew up with, and they always are staples around Christmastime. We also talk a little bit about the Golden Globe nominations, the Warner/Netflix/Paramount deal, the new Zendaya and Robert Pattinson movie “The Drama”, and Hannah’s rewatch of Silver Linings Playbook. Luckily, Hamnet came to a theater near us so we were able to catch a showing. This film moved us both so deeply and we were unbelievably impressed by Jessie Buckley’s performance. Jay Kelly also dropped on Netflix earlier this week, and we couldn’t wait to watch. This one definitely felt very true to the industry experience, and we felt that George Clooney and Adam Sandler gave raw performances. While we heard that this one might not completely be understood by those not in the film industry, we found it to be very relatable as everyone ages and reflects on their life.

This week, we started our Harry Potter marathon and watched The Sorcerer’s Stone and The Chamber of Secrets. Since these are the early films, the CGI isn’t the best, but that’s just a sign of the times. These films are so magical, and we’re excited to watch the rest of them over the next few weeks! We also continued to add our holiday film into the mix and chose The Family Stone this week. We know this one is a little divisive, but we can’t really see why. If you haven’t seen this one in a while and weren’t a fan, it’s definitely time to give it a second chance!

This week kicks off our holiday episodes! Of course we had to add the first four episodes of Stranger Things in there as well since they dropped last week, and we caught up on some other films we logged on Letterboxd. Ailish was able to watch After the Hunt, we continued our conversation from last week when Hannah watched it. It really is easier to discuss this film after you’ve seen it since there are so many plot points, but overall, this one didn’t work for us. Ailish also watched Priscilla, and Hannah watched The Conjuring: Last Rites and Caught Stealing.

Like everyone else, we were excited to watch the first Stranger Things drop over Thanksgiving. The first couple episodes were a little slower, but it definitely picked up in the last two episodes and we can’t wait for the next drop on Christmas! The Roses came to Hulu, so we both added it to our list. While this movie was funny and made us laugh at times, it really dragged and the end was really rushed. It was a cute film, but not one we could see ourselves revisiting. Our first holiday film of the month was A Very Jonas Christmas Movie. We’ve been fans of the Jonas Brothers since they came on the scene and we loved their old show. This film was a great time and we actually had a lot of real laughs throughout. Yes, we’re very biased since we grew up with these guys, but we felt this was one we would revisit next year, or even again this season!
