Someone Like You
Yesterday00:53:07Tap to summarizeToday Dandino gifts Griffey a movie that has aged like Old Cow Milk on a hot summer day, Someone Like You. They dig into the film's Old Cow Theorum of modern relationships, the insane decisions Ashley Judd must suffer from the scipt, and whether saddling up to a man like Hugh Jackman is bound to end in a Bronco Busting. This is an odd film that begs the question, WHY? so many times it must be seen. Synopsis: After being jilted by her boyfriend, a talk show talent scout writes a column on the relationship habits of men which gains her national fame.

This New Movie Monday, we are reviewing the A24 sensation Backrooms, based on the totemic YouTube series of the same name. Of course, we can't cover Backrooms without a lengthy discussion about this cultural moment in horror cinema, off the heels of Curry Barker's breakout hit Obsession. Griffey, Heath and Sam think they have a good handle on what it all means and make the argument that the film should've been even MORE abstract. We do our best to not get lost in the maze of this counfounding film while praising the performance of Chiwetel Ejiofor, the novel vision of director Kane Parsons and, of course, the most messed up moment in the movie. Synopsis: After a therapist's patient disappears into a dimension beyond reality, she must venture into the unknown to save him. Director: Kane Parsons Starring: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Renate Reinsve and Mark Duplass
