The Filmlosophers and Intern Amy brave the chaotic and troubling mind of director Ari Aster and come out unsure of what to say about A24’s latest project, Beau is Afraid. The Discombobulated Dissenters attempt to deconstruct the thoughts of their mind in a way that vaguely conveys their opinions on the function -and dysfunction- of this film.

The Miming Mimics have set their sights on Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley’s directorial efforts to discover whether fans finally get a sincere homage to the game of imagination and exploration. Have the directors finally appeased the massive fan base that has waited patiently for a decent portrayal? Or has the time passed for even the most clever of directors to take a roll at it?

The Filmlosophers and Intern Amy fight against the surge of films beating their way into theaters to bob and weave through Michael B. Jordan’s directorial debut in the latest entry of the Creed franchise, Creed III. The Lean, Mean Reviewing Machines take the battle to Michael B. Jordan and his cast as they discuss the efforts he makes, as well as its evident lack of that Sly charm. Has the removal of the Rocky/Journeyman element doomed the first-time director, and possibly this franchise? Or have we entered into a new generation of the every-man story, with Jordan and Coogler at the pulse? Grab your gloves & your popcorn, & tune in to find out in this week’s episode of The Filmlosophers!

Or has this film become a vehicle to resurface the magnificence of Brendan Fraser’s acting ability?

The Filmlosophers and Intern Amy use the art of deduction and logic to determine the impact of Rian Johnson’s whodunnit sequel released on Netflix, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. The Sensational Sleuthers bust out their magnifying glasses to examine the long-awaited sequel to Johnson’s amazing mystery film led by the Southern-accented Daniel Craig.
