After the break, check out the latest episode of Travis Bickle on the Riviera, with your hosts, Tucker Stone, Celia Mattison & Morgan Jeske.
This week, we start off by checking in with Celia, who continues to do the lord's work of watching movies released before she was born and then coming on the podcast so Tucker can tell her why he likes those movies. (Abs!) Then we get into the major movies of the day before closing things out with a look at the time Julia Roberts went full Joker.
0:00 - 4:40 First up, it's Lethal Weapon (1987), and Morgan reveals how many times he watched Avengers: Endgame. More than once? Maybe so! Can Tucker get Celia to compliment Mel's abs? Who knows!
4:41 - 35:52 Then it's time to talk about Tenet (2020), a big old Christopher Nolan movie with John David Washington, who both Celia and Tucker have reservations about, which features the best Nolan action scene so far, and general feelings about the nature of talking about Nolan movies, which often means you talk about stuff that isn't even in a Nolan movie. Then it's time to move on!
35:53 - 1:03:16 Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (2020), which also means we talk about Fences (2016) and The Piano Lesson (1995), because It's all August Wilson, all the time, except for when we're talking about Tenet or Julia Roberts or the 80s.
1:03:17 - 1:35:00 And finally, we talk about My Best Friend's Wedding (1997), which is a movie about how, if you can't get what you want, you should try to ensure that the thing you want is thoroughly destroyed or disgusting so that whoever does get it isn't happy. Also: how long do we think the marriage lasts? I'm going to bet the marriage ends very soon after the movie concludes, regardless of what that pencildick People Weekly cover has to say about it.
