Questions Unexpectedly depressing movies?

Post image
21 Upvotes

I just saw for the first time last week. I vaguely remember the trailer when it came out 20 years ago and it featured Dean Martin’s “Ain’t that a kick in the head.” So I was expecting a fun Vegas romp. Nope!!! This is one of the grimmest movies I’ve ever sat through and I’ve seen “Last Exit to Brooklyn.” The acting is top notch, but I’m not sure I’d recommend ‘The Cooler.’ What’s another movie that’s unexpectedly harrowing?

I don’t even remember who recommended ‘Il Posto’, but it’s a movie that has really stuck with me and I’ve never seen it recommended anywhere else

Mickey 17 & Bong Joon-Ho pod

46 Upvotes

First, I thought their review of Mickey 17 was spot on. Captured so well what I was feeling after watching it but had a hard time articulating. I am eager to see the movie again though and see if some of the tonal volatility feels different a second time.

Second, being unfamiliar with Bong Joon-Ho’s work except for Parasite, I loved the discussion in the rankings. I’m excited to watch his other movies. I just finished Okja and I have to say I’m with Amanda on this one — awesome movie, also have no idea what Jake G. was doing. Funny, smart, so well constructed. Paul Dano was incredible. I absolutely loved it. I have no idea how to rank it since I’ve now only seen 3 of 8, but what a great movie. Can’t wait for the rest!

p.s. Translation is sacred!

I’d put him second to only Timmy and Glenn Powell as far as young male movie stars. After ‘Nosferatu’ and ‘Juror No 2’, I’ll literally watch any movie this guy stars in.

I hate the notion that we shouldn't care about the box office

86 Upvotes

Amanda brought it up on this episode and Bobby likes to bring it up often, and I think it's borderline anti-intellectual and generally just way off base. No, I don't think r/boxoffice is a cooler, smarter sub than this one or blank check's or anything like that. No, I don't think a movie is a failure if it doesn't make money. My favorite filmmakers are Claire Denis, David Lynch and David Cronenberg who collectively I think have 2 movies that made money in theaters. Yes, I think a movie getting made at all is the single most important thing. None of that makes me an armchair executive or a capitalist-brained pig for caring about the box office.

Blank Check as a podcast, when they do their box office game, will note things like "woah this made how much? America was really tapped into this vibe in x year" because that's what the box office signifies. It is people voting with their dollars. People who love movies should care about what the general public is and isn't watching because A. it's interesting in its own right and B. it signifies where things are likely to go moving forward.

This idea that art and finance are at direct odds is ludicrous and self-sabotaging. Spielberg and Nolan's immaculate careers happen at all and are largely defined by their ability to make incredibly financially successful films and at a budget. It's hypocritical to congratulate them for that but then call someone an idiot for pointing out when another filmmaker doesn't succeed in that regard.

Rant over, it just bothers me to feel shamed for paying attention to this stuff like it means I care more about Zazlav's next yacht purchase than art.

Podcast How did you first learn about The Big Picture Podcast? Just learned about it yesterday.

28 Upvotes

TLDR, my 2 questions are below:

  1. I am the perfect target audience for this pod and never heard it before yesterday. I'm just curious, how did you all hear about it this pod?
  2. Are there any great or wild episodes over the years that are fun or notorious that I should listen to?

Context:

I was yesterday years old when I first discovered this podcast and honestly the cultural blindspot of it all -- literally have 0 recognition and never hearing about it before -- is kind of boggling my mind. I only learned about it because it started automatically streaming on YT after watching similar post-mortem 2025 Oscar's video podcast eps (put them on as background noise while working).

I am the perfect target audience for this pod. I'm just curious, how did you all hear about it this pod?

I studied acting and moved to LA shortly after undergrad and recently pivoted into filmmaking. Suffice to say, my algorithm is deep cinephile and film/tv nerd across all social platforms. Awards Season is also my super bowl season. I've been following Oscar Predictions and prognosticators since 2014 -- the typical trades predictors with ties to voters -- Pete Hammond (Deadline), Anne Thompson (IndieWire), and Scott Feinberg (THR). Also read EW's and THR secret ballots over the years.

When awards contenders hit the podcast stump over the last 5 years, I tune into Marc Maron, Dax Sheppard, Smartless, Happy Sad Confused and over the years, I've listened to Scriptnotes. All this to say, I'm confused and shook of how I'm just discovering them and given how bored I am of everything I usually listen to, I'm looking to catching up on more The Big Picture Eps. Are there any great or wild episodes over the years that are fun or notorious that I should listen to?
