Matt and Gabe discuss the new David Lowery epic The Green Knight. Topics include The Piano and Holly Hunter; Sam Neill in the 90's; a few odd comparisons between The Green Knight and Promising Young Woman; how episodic storytelling should not be considered negative criticism; deconstruction of the chivalrous knight; respect for Sean Harris and how he tends to work in roles that he really shouldn't work in; The Green Knight's ties to other classic and not so classic medieval films; strange narrative choices and faltering endings in otherwise great movies; the delicate relationship between what a movie asks of the audience and what the audience will accept; how it is a movie about living life; A24 as a brand; debating whether everything SHOULD be like A24; a brief review of Shang Chi; Matt confuses two fantastic Hong Kong actors; finding the key to open the door to styles not normally traversed; a brief review of Reminiscence; defining "Asian American Representation"; and a small shout-out to Simu Liu and Kumail Nanjiani.
