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?

6. Charlie Kaufman : director

After conquering the keyboard, Charlie Kaufman takes on directorial duties, and we suffer through mortality in SYNECDOCHE, NEW YORK, get lost in the sea of faces in ANOMALISA, and watch our identity fracture into infinity with I’M THINKING OF ENDING THINGS. If that sounds depressing, don't worry, your hosts, the Maggot-Infested Pig and The Japanese Sex Doll, will help you find the humor in the cosmic joke of existence! 00:00 INTRO - Duncan sees a film in theaters for the first time since Covid! 03:47 SYNECDOCHE, NEW YORK - Time flies past you, when you're focused on the potential of a perfect future that may never come. 21:31 ANOMALISA - Find your soulmate! And then lose them after you watch them eat eggs. 27:42 I’M THINKING OF ENDING THINGS - Has anyone in history ever had an original thought? 39:17 ANT KIND - Charlie writes a book about a failed film critic. This feels personal... 40:44 WRAP UP - Our Top Charlie Films, what else we are watching, and a mental health check in. www.hardlythehottest.com Notes Listen to our previous episode for more on Charlie’s writing career.
