With THE BLACK MESSIAH and THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES, we dissect the dirty word “biopic” for these two true stories about best friends who become brutal betrayers. Spoiler alert! The titles for these films ARE spoilers! 00:00 - INTRO - We start the podcast out as friends, but will it end up enemies? 04:34 - JUDAS AND THE BLACK MESSIAH - Great performances, stylish cinematography, and an intense score are all brought together by director Shaka King to make a strong film. This is getting plenty of awards recognition, but Dominique Fishback’s performance is really something special. 19:13 - JESSE PLEMONS - Don’t you DARE! call him “Fat Matt Damon”... 21:36 - THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD - If you are here for hard hitting film criticism, go ride your horse into the night, because this us gushing about our unabashed love for Brad Pitt. 39:27 - OUR TOP FIVE BRAD FILMS (and Laughs) - What's in the BOX? Our love for Brad. 42:11 - QUOTABLE JESSE JAMES - We don’t wanna be like Brad, we wanna BE Brad. 43:16 - PICK YOUR POISON - Robert Ford or Roy Mitchell? 46:22 - WHAT ELSE WE ARE WATCHING - Duncan visits Ireland, Russia, and Australia. Ryan gets mad for Mads Mikkelsen, but not so mad about Miami. 55:02 - SPOILER SECTION - Does Jesse hate his myth or himself? Life after Jesse for Charlie and Robert Ford. Outhouse seductions. What is your gas station in Oklahoma?
