Episode 90: Superbad - They Harass Like Two People

"I'd like to walk that all back." In hot anticipation of Oppenheimer, we take a gander at a big classic: Dr Strangelove or: How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the Bomb (1964). Grab a snack because we get into Stanley Kubrick's directing style, the way we watch black and white movies, and how to go about our daily lives with the threat of nukes hanging above our heads at all times. (Pro tip: the trick is to stop thinking about it).

"He's in a jungle. Wearing beige." This week's pick got us a bit of a longer episode with a discussion on Good Time (2017) and a larger analysis of today's Hollywood. We get into the mud talking about Robert Pattinson and Nicolas Cage's comebacks, what a movie has to accomplish to have you sit through the credits, and the parallels between Fortnite and Everything, Everywhere, All At Once.

Episode 79: Old Boy - A Jaw-Dropping Opening

Episode 79: Old Boy - A Jaw-Dropping Opening

"Nintendo isn't the government of Japan." We review another banger of a recommendation from Leander this week: Old Boy (2003). Before we get into the nitty-gritty of it though, we take some time away from our hard-hitting journalism to check in on what's been up in the boys' lives lately. Hashem gives a shout out to the gym rats out there and Leander rejects the title of 'tech bro'. In all seriousness, we have some really insightful discussions on the thesis statement of Old Boy, so pop a squat and have a listen.

"That's so anime." This week we find out that everything is not what it seems. We watched In Bruges (2008). Hashem and Leander get into some absolutely artistic and scholarly discussion about the nuances of imprecise dialogue, religion's absolute ideals of morality, and even get a little meta talking about how movie ratings and reviews are formed. It's a wild one and the boys spit FIRE this episode, so don't miss out.

Jan 22, 202301:13:30

Today we're talking No Country for Old Men (2007) and how death exists in that movie. We ignore everything about the movie and focus on the philosophy, as real film bros do.

This episode was recorded about a month ago and Hashem is still sick, so send cough syrup his way. In this episode, we go sicko mode (bless you) on The Wonder (2022) talking about our love for Florence Pugh, Leander's disdain for The Lighthouse, and Hashem's disdain for Leander. Happy new year.

Episode 73: The Lighthouse - A Movie with no Thesis Statement

Episode 73: The Lighthouse - A Movie with no Thesis Statement

"You and the homies, sitting around, talking about the Lighthouse, the gayest movie to ever exist." On this weeks episode, we get some real head butting, as Leander and Hashem talk The Lighthouse (2019), a movie about everything, and nothing. We go through what online reviews can do to a movie, does the movie even have meaning, or maybe, it's all us going insane on an island together. Does a movie really need a cohesive plot? Who knows, cause we sure don't!

Episode 71: The Green Knight - Haley Joel Osment

"He's a right piece of shit." Hashem and Leander dive deep into their this fetch quest for the meaning behind The Green Knight (2021). They tried stringing along Hashem's dad and Jordine, but it didn't go very well, so it's now your job to come along for the ride and make up for it. The boys navigate the three-way venn diagram of "time passing", "death's inevitability", and "nature overcoming all". In the end, they realize that the real message was the friends they made along the way.

Episode 70: Paprika - I'm An American Now

"Goku's kamehameha doesn't look the same." Jump Cut is back for another anime movie. Pop in for our review and analysis of Paprika (2006). What is it, exactly, that ye olde anime could teach us today? The best use of your 24 frames per second? The superiority of subbed over dubbed? We take the time to learn some of those lessons while navigating through Leander's mind games. Our hosts are especially qualified to teach a crash course on animation, so take an hour-ish out of your day and join.

Bullet Train doesn't suck.

Episode 67: RRR - How Dare You Have An Opinion

Have a listen to this episode for discussions on broken water fountains, criticism of the British empire, and some hot (or not-so-hot) takes on Oklahoma! Yes, I do mean the Broadway show! It has nothing to do with the movie RRR!

Episode 60: Ghost in the Shell - Are Robots Lifeforms?

Episode 60: Ghost in the Shell - Are Robots Lifeforms?

"Scarlet Johansson can play me in the remake." Welcome back to Jump Cut, and we're back to talking theory and philosophy! This week, we talk Ghost in the Shell (1995), and actively try to avoid talking about the live action remake. We get introspective, what makes a lifeform, and come to the conclusion that maybe nukes are bad? We also address how versatile Scarlet Johansson is as an actress, and what makes adaptations worthwhile!

May 15, 202201:11:54
Episode 59: Little Women - I Think You Hate Women

"Yeah, this move is pretty good!" Welcome back everyone! Today we're reviewing Leander's (favourite?) movie pick, Interstellar (2014). We're finally bringing some polish to the podcast, and taking notes! And boy is this the movie to do it for. We talk propaganda, why the moon landing is fake, and what makes humans survive.

Episode 54: Spider-Man Saga Part 2 - Mean International Night-Monkey

"No Jump Cut until you eat your video games." Thwip! Thwip! We're back for part 2 of our Spider-Man Saga review. We got deep into the world of Marvel's Spider-Man movies (2017-2021), but not before spending 1/3 of this episode (and trust me, it's a long one) figuring out how to turn Jump Cut into a video game podcast. We're still determining when the re-brand will happen. Thwip thwip, see you next time!

Episode 53: Spider-Man Saga Part 1 - #NotMySpiderMan

"If you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best." The terrible trio is back! Leander (gaslight), Hashem (gatekeep), and Jordine (girlboss) are back in action, reviewing every live action Spider-Man movie at our disposal. Except we argued a lot while we did it, so this will be a two-parter. This first half includes Spider-Man 1-3, and The Amazing Spider-Man 1-2. Next episode, we'll finish off with the MCU Spider-Man movies. Hopefully our friendships are stronger than that of Harry Osborn and Peter Parker, and we'll be able to come back after this whole Spider-Man fiasco with our regularly scheduled programming.

Episode 50: Arcane - The Riot Cinematic Universe

"Why does it have to be the League show?." Please welcome special guest, Noelle, as we celebrate our 50th episode by not talking about a movie at all! Arcane was just too good. It got everybody to listen to Imagine Dragons again! Also, at the time of releasing this episode, Leander has completed his third rewatch of Arcane, and Hashem's roped all four of us {Leander, Hashem, guest Noelle, editor Jordine) into his new Discord server solely for playing League of Legends together.
