Episode 544: "Chasing Chasing Amy," "Conclave," and "Nickel Boys"
We start with CHASING CHASING AMY (1:44), trans filmmaker Sav Rodgers’ documentary about his relationship with Kevin Smith’s CHASING AMY, and an exploration of Rodgers’ reverence for Kevin Smith’s at-the-time groundbreaking but now much-more-questioned-about-its-narrative-ideas lesbian-falls-for-a-straight-man rom-com. Over the course of six years, Rodgers’ feelings change as he transitions, and interviews Smith, queer filmmakers and critics, academics, his own fiancée Riley (whom we all love), and Joey Lauren Adams, CHASING AMY’s star, who has *very* different feelings about it than writer-director Smith. It’s a fascinating watch. Next, there’s CONCLAVE (25:31), director Edward Berger’s film about a papal conclave, run by Cardinal Thomas Lawrence (Ralph Fiennes), choosing a new pontiff, and the political and religious machinations that go along with it. Dave had resisted seeing this, but finally relented. And…did he like it the way Evan and Megan do? Finally, there’s NICKEL BOYS (45:41), director and co-writer RaMell Ross’ adaptation of Colson Whitehead’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. We have differing opinions about it, in particular the style in which it’s filmed, but we all found things we like about it, Megan in particular. Over on Patreon, we talk about Clint Eastwood’s final film (we’re told) as director, the courtroom drama JUROR NO. 2.

This week Megan and Dave talk about director Luca Guadagnino’s QUEER (2:28), an adaptation of William S. Burroughs 1985 novel (with a screenplay by Justin Kuritzkes). Starring Daniel Craig as William Lee (a Burroughs stand-in), this movie left both Megan and Dave a little bewildered, as there were things they liked (the shooting-up scene, the color palette), and things they didn’t like (Drew St...

Evan is off this week (doubtless watching PLANES, TRAINS, AND AUTOMOBILES), so Megan and Dave take on KNOW YOUR PLACE (2:19) and THE BLACK SEA (35:29) as a duo. And as with many weeks, the movies we choose are linked thematically (often accidentally). In this case, both films tackle characters with feelings of being outsiders. In KNOW YOUR PLACE, Robel (Joseph Smith) balances being a typical Am...

    I also really liked Starling Girl. I found Owen to be a complicated & relatively unexplored character. It’s definitely Gem’s movie. No one says why Owen was in Puerto Rico. To preach, yes, but did he get sent away? For similar problematic behavior that the rest of the cult wasn’t aware of? He is also from the conservative cult, and seemingly hasn’t explored true, deep love. In the end it’s evident he really needs Gem. But she may be just fine on her own, exploring the world. Or could possibly do so, toting him along with her. 😆 The movie exposes the cracks in the cult members in a fascinating way. It would be impossible for anyone to actually get all that crap right all of the time. Thx for the good discussion.

      Hi Aida - Evan here. I've tried looking around in all the places I could think of to find the documentary, with no luck. I sent an email to Menemsha Films, the company that distributes the film to see if they have any plans to release it, and I'll let you know what they say.

      Hi Aida - Evan, again. Following up on my previous comment. Menemsha Films says that the film will be available soon on Chai Flicks (if you're not familiar it's a streaming service for Jewish films). If you're not already subscribed to that service and you're interested in subscribing please email us (spoilerpiece@gmail.com), and I can see if maybe I can get you a subscription to it.

    One of the main problems of the movie besides the structure and the fact that they left a lot of the book details off, it that they should have developed a lot of theo's addiction and his relationship with Boris (easily the best character), cause they are the main reasons why the book worked!
