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.
