MOVIE DISCUSSION: 

Shirleon joins Melvin to discuss the first non-Krasinski sequel to a wildly popular and super accessible horror/thriller series, A Quiet Place: Day One! Director Michael Sarnoski is tasked with seeing our story through New York City, tossing in some immense heart and drama into an otherwise concession-filled franchise. But, of course he did. He directed Pig, after all!

Topics:

  • (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 24-minutes discussing an article on deadline titled "James Mangold Doesn't Want To Be "Handcuffed" To 'Star Wars' Lore", some comments to this headline & article Melvin noticed, and general frustration with the concept of "Fandom". (PATREON EXCLUSIVE)
  • First things first: you don’t have to watch the first two films to enjoy A Quiet Place: Day One. It’s entirely its own thing with its own characters.
  • Apart from an apocalyptic event, Shirleon didn’t know what to expect. By the end, she’d been completely won over, tears and all.
  • Celebrating Eric, Joseph Quinn’s character, as a well-rounded man who is expressive, emotional, and brave, rather than some testosterone-led survival aficionado ready to fight some aliens.
  • Melvin felt this was the best of the three films by a long shot.
  • Reading the poem “Bad Math”, then discussing our interpretations.
  • The significance of the pizza, and healthy uses of fantasy.
  • Discussing the ending.
