Almost Good

3 - Black Panther / The Florida Project

On this episode of the Almost Good podcast, we talk about stuff like that one racist guy who likes Black Panther, CGI rhinos, fighting twice, Blade II as a harbinger for rubbery Gumby fights, "What are the fucking powers???", how Dave really liked the white dude with one arm, of course Killmonger was right, James Spader is ass-eating royalty, doubling down on late capitalism, Marvel already ruined movies, Dave’s stepbrother is The Movie Oracle, purple vs. orange, message from the king, is Black Panther almost good, Sean Baker rules, The Florida Project lovefest (but is it poverty porn?), process shots, no N-words, getting “staffed”, CHAPPiE, some Blade knockoffs, theater gremlins, and THE SCRIPT DOCTOR swings by to totally fix Black Panther.

2 - Brawl in Cell Block 99

This time we talk about the unlikely awesomeness of Kanye West, Dave transcribes JDO’s drunk phone call regarding Black Panther, how the best movies never run down the middle, Dunkirk, Bane masks at the gym, nü-metal (of course), Oscar picks and snubs, A Ghost Story, fake vomit, Ladybird, annoying theater talkers, some unique Alamo Drafthouse challenges, seat kickers, art vs. pulp, the genius of S. Craig Zahler, an alternate list of Best Pictures, Gabino Iglesias' love of milk, Bad Day for the Cut, playing Rammstein at work, car fighting, and THE SCRIPT DOCTOR is on double duty, rolling in again to fix both Brawl in Cell Block 99 and Blade Runner 2049. Oh, and how has Jared Leto not been #MeToo’d yet (as of this recording)?

1 - The Shape of Water

For our very first episode, Dave talks about almost getting into a fight on the way to a movie about fish fucking, what it was like to go to movie theaters in the '80s, The Shape of Water gets reviewed for real, then we ramble about the importance of character evolution. Also, we ask each other questions like, "What even is an Oscar movie?" talk a little about Instagram Cinema, the feel-bad/white-trash epic I, Tonya, and finally bust out THE SCRIPT DOCTOR, who totally fixes The Shape of Water for free.
