We discuss “The Wrath of Becky” with the filmmakers, plus dive into shark horror and review the erotic thriller “The Attachment Diaries”.
We begin with a talk about two of this year’s biggest and most controversial releases.
The latest Indiana Jones film was met with a mixed reaction at Cannes. Meanwhile, on this side of the ocean, the director of The Flash releases a huge spoiler. How is this good news for Indy and bad news for the DCEU?
We also talk about some soon-to-be-released horror movies, including The Wrath of Becky. One of us had the chance to see this at its World Premiere at SXSW, and it was one of the bloodiest movies we had seen in a while, with one of the coolest kill scenes. As a sequel, it definitely ups the ante from 2020’s Becky. Lulu Wilson returns as the eponymous Becky alongside Seann William Scott.
We had the pleasure of chatting with directors Matt Angel and Suzanne Coote about the film, what inspired the script, what fans can expect, the decision to cast Sean William Scott and what he brings to the table, and if we can expect to see more of badass Becky in action.
Then it’s on to our featured review.
One of our most popular episodes was a show centered around erotic thrillers. For whatever reason, we have not covered one in a long time. This week we return to the subject with a fresh take on the genre out of Argentina.
The Attachment Diaries is a stylish neo-noir that tackles some heady topics. The film is well-written, boasts two strong lead performances, and is unafraid to get graphic. But do pacing and an abrupt ending destroy all the goodwill?
Finally, we welcome summer with a retro review of a shark movie.
There are arguably more movies about sharks than any other subject. (There were so many that it was almost impossible to find this week’s feature on Tubi.) But Shark in Venice proves the number of good ones is much smaller.
Are two big-name stars (at least, the siblings of A-listers) enough to save a plot that is unsure of what it wants to be? Tune in to find out!
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:
Last week, we talked about the most shocking movie on Netflix, Soft & Quiet.
ABOUT THIS PODCAST:
Every week AIPT Movie Editor Nathaniel Muir and his cinema partner in crime Blake Heath discuss indie and genre movies you have have never heard of, the ones you cannot hear enough about, and the ones you never want to hear about again.
We have devoted plenty of time on our humble little podcast singing the praises of The Blair Witch Project over the years. But what do we have to say now that the original cast has made some pretty heavy demands? We also talk about a video game adaptation taking place in El Paso and why the opinions of video game fans may be the most reliable.
All You Need is Death is a great title for a comedy horror. Have some fun musical numbers and an ending involving a bad looking George Harrison lookalike and you got yourself a winner. If the plot is a serious one involving Irish folklore and odd secret organizations, it is one of the worst titles ever.
A bad title does not take away from a good film, however. Especially when that film owes a big debt to David Lynch’s creepiest tendencies. That being said, Lynch is definitely not for everyone. And so goes, All You Need is Death, a movie that does so much right but also cannot seem to help but get in its own way.
Bruceploitation Month continues with Fists of Bruce Lee. This episode we tried to do something different and review a movie with a plot. Sure, it is all just filler to take up space between the awesome fight scenes, but there is an actual story being told. After covering last week’s travesty, it is nice to know that there are some movies that were trying to do more than just cash in on Lee’s name.
