Weapons vs The City of Lost Children: Won't Somebody Think of the Children?
Weapons is our new film this week, the sophomore feature from sometime sketch comedian Zack Cregger. It may have a great cast, a great premise and some great scares, but can it stick the landing? We’re comparing it to a film from 1995 that shares its premise and a lot more besides, The City of Lost Children. But which one is best described as Lynchian? Which one is stacked with zany action? Which one looks like a CD-ROM video game? And which one is about so many different themes that’s it’s almost about nothing?
Plus, we watch Selena Gomez and Steve Martin in a New York podcast caper, we singlong to a Netflix K-Pop hit, we ask what a roustabout is, we wonder what happened to the pictures of missing children on milk cartons, and we try to define what ‘brassy’ means.
