People Of Technicolor

They’re back! After a summer-long hiatus, Andrew and Apoorva are once again ready to tear into some movies. And since it’s summer, why not relax with the sun-dappled, floral beauty of “Midsommar,” a...lovely follow-up to Ari Aster’s “Hereditary.” Rounding out this deranged trifecta are foreign/queer films “Intimate Strangers” and “The Perfection.” Subscribe for free, review us at Apple Podcasts, and follow us on Twitter: @PoTCPodcast.

It’s difficult to even call these things movies at this point, but Andrew and Apoorva grab some drinks and curse their bladders to discuss the three hour-long cultural monolith known as “Avengers: Endgame.” They also take a trip to the mesmerizing, imaginative world of “Spirited Away.” May Studio Ghibli rest in peace.

This week, Andrew and Apoorva discuss a particularly uncomfortable double header as they explore the hermetically sealed worlds of “High Life” and “Dogtooth.” One is the sickening, ridiculous breakout of Yorgos Lanthimos, and the other prominently features Robert Pattinson refusing to enter a “fuckbox.” There’s a lot to unpack here.

While their opinions on Jordan Peele’s enormous debut, “Get Out,” may differ, Andrew and Apoorva come together this week to discuss his sophomore effort: “Us.” Is it any scarier than “Get Out” was? Is the satire just as present? Will white people just chill out? There’s only one way to find out. They also take some time to discuss the most hype foreign films to be released in the U.S. this year. Subscribe for free, review us at Apple Podcasts, and follow us on Twitter: @PoTCPodcast.

Buckle up your dancing shoes, kids. In a particularly upsetting (yet graceful) double header, Andrew and Apoorva grimace their way through the witchy body horror of “Suspiria” and the pure, unrelenting nightmare of Gaspar Noé’s hellscape he decided to call “Climax.” Truly, it is time to break the nose of every beautiful thing.

 This week, Andrew and Apoorva pick apart all the gory details in their spoiler-y revisiting of “Bad Times at the El Royale,” the sickly lovechild of Quentin Tarantino and Agatha Christie. They also unwind the elusive, haunting “Burning,” the movie that ruined Steven Yeun’s smile forever. Subscribe for free, review us at Apple Podcasts, and follow us on Twitter: @PoTCPodcast.

It's been a hot second, but Andrew and Apoorva are back and better than ever. The same cannot be said for the Academy Awards, however, and it's time to dive into their latest champion, "Green Book." Afterwards, they discuss a queer film from Taiwan, "Dear Ex," yet another winning Netflix Original. Subscribe for free, review us at Apple Podcasts, and follow us on Twitter: @PoTCPodcast.

Luckily for Andrew and Apoorva this week, the pinnacle of Netflix Originals has arrived. Step aside Alfonso Cuaron, "Velvet Buzzsaw" is here, and it is (kind of) glorious. Also, Apoorva talks about French Film "Beats Per Minute," which is only partially able to meld its educational aspect with real pathos.

The world is going gaga for “Bohemian Rhapsody”, but as usual, Andrew and Apoorva are here to rain on its parade. After recovering from this direct attack against Freddie Mercury, they discuss the beautiful, immersive Japanese film “Shoplifters,” elegant and difficult in all the ways “Bohemian Rhapsody” is not.

After catching up on earlier 2018 releases, Andrew and Apoorva peck apart new Netflix film “Bird Box” and new sequel “Mary Poppins Returns,” both of which are solely held together by fabulous leading ladies.

In a week filled with zombies dancing to Queen, villagers being killed by their chapels, and aliens having drinks at the bar, Andrew and Apoorva discuss the Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy, a very dry (and very British) series of films helmed by Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, and Nick Frost. Oh, and hold onto your hats because Mexican film “Roma” is not only here, but ready to decimate you. You done good, Netflix.

  As the film awards races begin heating up, Andrew and Apoorva are ready to give their very important opinions on the subject. After railing against various snubs, they try to somehow describe the shocking, surreal French film “Nocturama,” a walking controversy about beautiful terrorists holed up in a shopping mall.  Subscribe for free, review us at Apple Podcasts, and follow us on Twitter: @PoTCPodcast.

In an episode of violent delights, Andrew and Apoorva begin by tackling the Coen Bros’ new Netflix Original “The Ballad of Buster Scruggs,” an absurd (and problematic) anthology set in the Wild West. Up next is “Battle Royale,” the original story about kids killing other kids.  Subscribe for free, review us at Apple Podcasts, and follow us on Twitter: @PoTCPodcast.

In what’s sure to be their most controversial episode yet, Andrew and Apoorva put on rose-tinted glasses and compare their top five animated Disney films of all time. They leave just enough time to delve into Joel Edgerton’s well-meaning, but ultimately misguided new film “Boy Erased,” which tackles the horror of gay conversion therapy.  Subscribe for free, review us at Apple Podcasts, and follow us on Twitter: @PoTCPodcast.

It’s a dual takeover this week as Andrew and Apoorva talk about their respective viewings of the Step Up movie from hell, “Suspiria,” and the not-quite-Tarantino film “Bad Times at the El Royale.” They then dicuss “Weekend,” the movie that defines the word “indie.” Subscribe for free, review us at Apple Podcasts, and follow us on Twitter: @PoTCPodcast.

It’s Rachel Weisz week for Andrew and Apoorva as they attend the Twin Cities Film Festival for Yorgos Lanthimos’s newest feature, “The Favourite,” a movie that is not messing around with its title.
