After the break, check out the latest episode of Travis Bickle on the Riviera, with your hosts Tucker Stone, Celia Mattison & Morgan Jeske!
0:00 - 4:55
Opening comments, regarding the Golden Globes and Celia's love of fashion, potential theories regarding how The Little Things could have concluded.
4:56 - 7:46
Then it's time to talk about The Little Things (2021), the latest piece of shit poured onto the HBO Max screens with as much care as one devotes to emptying the cooking oil at an Alabama Dairy Queen. Denzel, Jared Leto and Rami Malek and a bunch of other hanger-ons from the hanger-on university of phoning it in.
7:47 - 17:24
Then we have a visitor, Piper Stone, who is there to talk to Morgan and Celia about the fifth episode of the television show WandaVision and Jean Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast. She mostly focuses on WandaVision while Morgan breaks Tucker's heart with a Marvel universe deep cut. She also talks about her feelings and her movie that she is currently filming. I considered cutting this because it isn't the normal tone of the podcast, but then I figured I'd just post the time stamp for those who want to jump right back to-
17:25 - 35:00
TOE-SUCKING in The Little Things (2021) We talk about it for a while. It's a stinker! But we do give some love to Jared Leto and his throw pillow.
35:01 - 52:00
Then we talk about The Kid Detective (2020), an overpraised but still at times rewarding riff on Encyclopedia Brown by way of The Dark Knight and Wes Anderson with Adam Brody and a terrible ending.
52:01 - 56:57
Celia's Sundance update! She caught up with We Are All Going To The World's Fair from Jane Schoenbrun, a scary picture. Was it as scary as Together Together, an Ed Helms romcom? Coming to Netflix, Celia also catches us up with Passing, a movie by Rebecca Hall which Celia was less than a fan of.
56:58 - 1:04:19
Then, Tucker talks about The Last Champion (2020), which is probably his favorite new movie this year so far? Very simple, very cheap, very committed to being a movie about continuing onward past struggle. Bad ending? Sure thing! But up until that, it's pretty legit.
1:04:20 - 1:25:30
Then Morgan is taken before the tribunal, to discuss his Fly related trauma. Cronenberg, take me home!
1:25:31 - 1:29:34
Then we close it out talking about Mads, Celia brings the hot takes, Morgan brings it back to the Marvel universe.
