Everything in its right place…

On this episode of Adjust Your Tracking, Joe and I get back on mic for the first time since our “Hereditary” episode last month. But it’s for a damn good reason, as we dive into the truly oddball and singular world of Boots Riley‘s “Sorry To Bother You.” The film, a bizarre satire with sci-fi/fantasy elements that skewers our modern existence with the force of a blunt strike to the head while also being incredibly silly (not a pejorative in this case) and packed with layers.

“B-movie” shouldn’t be a dirty word, and they deserve screens and your attention at the cinema…

On this episode of Adjust Your Tracking, Joe and I reunited after a monthlong absence—just not much worth discussing for us lately—and we dig into a topic that’s near and dear: lower-budgeted genre movies that actually get to screen at movie theaters.

We don’t entirely ignore “Avengers: Infinity War” here but we do our best to move on fast…

On this episode of Adjust Your Tracking, Joe and I try to deepen our perspective and see things from the female gaze. In doing so, we naturally find similarities in seemingly polar opposite films that we attempt to loosely connect under the umbrella of women in crisis movies. They are “Revenge,” a nasty piece of French genre cinema, released by NEON, that excitingly updates and subverts the rape-revenge genre (Playlist review here).

Rule #1 if you’re choosing to tell a story: choose the appropriate medium, the one that tells your story the best…

On this episode of Adjust Your Tracking, Joe and I get lost and attempt to find ourselves in the cult of nonfiction filmmaking. We find rewards, new meaning in our lives, but that’s before things got dark. That’s right, it’s another documentary special episode of the podcast! We start this show off with a few brief thoughts on William Friedkin‘s “The Devil and Father Amorth” but don’t spend too much time on it as it’s kinda, sorta bad as a movie (read The Playlist’s review here).
