‘Materialists’ and the Top Five Movie Love Triangles. Plus: ‘The Life of Chuck,’ With Mike Flanagan.

Sean and Amanda have an in-depth conversation and unpack their very mixed feelings on a pair of two new releases coming this weekend. They start with Celine Song's ‘Materialists’ and celebrate Song’s wonderful writing while also exploring their inability to connect to Dakota Johnson's and Pedro Pascal’s performances of the material (1:46). Then, they create their list of the top five movie love triangles of all time (45:10). Next, they discuss Mike Flanagan’s newest Stephen King adaptation, ‘The Life of Chuck,’ and explore why they think it will be such a divisive movie (53:57). Finally, Sean is joined by Flanagan to talk about his relationship to King, why he felt that this was the right time to make a shift away from horror, and how to tightrope walk the thin line between corniness and sincerity (1:21:01).

My fave movie pod. Amanda and Sean have great chemistry and different-enough taste to make for interesting conversations. Always appreciate CR as well. Tracy Letts an all-time guest! Side note: have never ever left a pod review ever before in my entire life but was horrified by the nature of the poor reviews on this one so here I am. Everything is not for everyone, if you don’t like something it’s fine to just move on with your life. (Dude bros criticizing Amanda’s personality, this means you.) Love you, Big Pic! ♥️
Eh.

Love the movie talk, get unbearably annoyed when Sean tries to wade into political territory and performative progressivism. If you like something becuase you enjoyed it, cool! You don’t have to bend over backwards and find something problematic to create a reason not like it. Just chill and be yourself, no one is keeping score.
