Prepare to get lost in Kyle's moping, Jeff watching ALL THE MOVIES, and Michael's affection for Charlie Hunnam... It's been a long time coming, and while The Lost City of Z didn't make Michael cry (see "Movie Bets" episode), we made sure to catch up on film and book so could discuss in depth. Toss in a group hug over Thor: Ragnarok, a sales pitch for Brigsby Bear (SO GREAT!), and serious confusion over A Ghost Story - it's CineMAGIC!!!

Rather than put another dumb joke about ALL THE TITLES here, we'll say, "the episode is great and it covers really kick @$$ material. You will not be disappointed." Also, trailer talk re: Ready Player One, Thor: Ragnarok, and someone finished reading a GIANT Brandon Sanderson book...
Show Notes
Yes, the movie has had multiple names mostly because the marketing was so poorly handled Doug Liman also has a pretty ridiculous story regarding the many names, which is worth reading Proof that the sequel will indeed be named Live Die Repeat and Repeat along w/ promises that the ending of Edge will make more sense?!?!If you'd like to support Literate Cinephiles, support us on Patreon and subscribe to the feed on Apple Podcasts!

As mentioned multiple times, Nerdwriter did an excellent job of discussing how Edgar Wright makes transitions count, using Scott Pilgrim vs. the World as an amazing example. We've shared this before, but Every Frame's a Painting's video on Edgar Wright and visual comedy is definitely worth checking out. Michael mentioned an interview where Edgar Wright clues us in to Griff's fate - you can find that on The Empire Film Podcast released on 7/4/2017 ("Baby Driver Spoiler Special with Edgar Wright")If you'd like to support Literate Cinephiles, support us on Patreon and subscribe to the feed on Apple Podcasts!

And now for a normal episode description: WE ARE TALKING ABOUT CHILDREN OF MEN AND IT IS GREAT AND YOU SHOULD LOVE IT AND YESSSSS!!!! The guys discuss PD James' dystopian novel, a trenchant analysis of politics and power that speaks urgently to this social moment and deserves to be rediscovered. And they mention the movie that PD James was "fine to be associated with", directed by the masterful Alfonso Cuarón. The discussion is passionate, combative, and filled with terrible pronunciations.
