The Projection Booth's Mike White and Dark Destination's Father Malone join the episode to talk Darren Aronofsky's career, the biblical text, and Ray Winstone. The film follows the biblical story of Noah and his family as they are tasked with building the Ark to withstand the coming flood. While the film tells the story before and after the Flood, it maybe should have stayed more antidiluvian than anything else.

Directed once again by George Miller and starring a recast Tom Hardy as Max, it's a high octane thrill-ride across the savaged wasteland of dystopian Austrailia.

The two films follow a private investigator tasked with finding a wealthy client's supremely unlucky daughter by forcing him to work with an equally unlucky man from the wealthy client's business.

17 MAY. 2024 · We continue Mike White May, this year all about Francis Veber films and their remakes, with a look at a duo of film with ostensbily the same setup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERnNX8JUpZ4&pp=ygUIbGUgam91ZXQ%3D and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMV8QEy7RaA&pp=ygUMdGhlIHRveSAxOTgy. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.projectionboothpodcast.com/&ved=2ahUKEwjA2qyVsYuGAxXt78kDHZUEDM4QFnoECAYQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1kqqIc_2NwK9HZNpE_uhfl and https://www.wakeupheavy.com/ join the episode to talk Richard Pryor, which film actually works, and whether the newest remake is worth checking out. The two films follow a unemployed journalist who, in a strange turn of events, is purchased by a a millionaire's child to become the titular toy. It's a bizarre setup that, at least in the original's case, not only works but manages to include on scathing social commenary. Each film has its own tone and style however only of one of them is worth checking out in 2024.
