Film Fallout Podcast #137 - Santa Claus Presents The Little Piercing Camgirl

Published: Nov. 29, 2018, 6:36 a.m.

Christopher Cross and Dylan Schwan decided to get away from their new video games to tell you about the new 6 part mini-series from Park Chan-Wook, The Little Drummer Girl. Find out if they think the new John Le Carre adaptation is worth the six hour sit down or whether it's better to just sit down with one of the great Park Chan-Wook movies you've seen before. They get into the great performances from leads Florence Pugh, Alexander Skarsgard, and Michael Shannon as well as the chemistry between them. Other topics discussed include the stylistic flourishes of the director and possible pacing problems. Dylan finds time to talk about the new Netflix thriller, Cam. Is it a smart cyber horror thriller or just another failed passion project? Does it belong with the few Netflix movies that are actually memorable? He also found the time to watch the not yet released Nicolas Pesce dark comedy, Piercing. Does it match the highs of his debut, The Eyes of My Mother? Can the lead performances lift up an otherwise uninspired film? Chris got around to checking out The Christmas Chronicles, another Netflix film, but this one stars Kurt Russell as Santa Claus...Then Chris caught the new indie hit, We the Animals, another "The Florida Project" type film focusing on children in a drastic landscape. He finishes off the segment with his take on the bizarre romantic drama, Border. Make sure to listen in next week for the latest Julian Schnabel film, At Eternity's Gate. Is Willem Dafoe too old to play Vincent Van Gogh? (We don't care.)
