The Film Board gathers! This month, host Justin Jaeger is joined by Steve Sarmento and Tommy Metz III to litigate Alex Garland's provocative new film "Civil War." The movie depicts a dystopian near-future America fractured by a second civil war, following a group of journalists on a perilous trek to interview the authoritarian president.
We dive into the film's central themesāwhat it means to bear witness to war, how allegiances break down in times of chaos, and whether the movie serves more as a warning or simply a brutal glimpse of "what if." We debate Garland's motivations in making the film now, at a time when a shocking 40% of Americans believe a civil war could happen in the next decade.
JayJay, with his background in TV journalism, scrutinizes the portrayal of war photographers and the language they use. Steve sees Apocalypse Now in the journey into the heart of darkness. And Tommy ponders if the film depicts how quickly social order and humanity could unravel in a new American civil war.
The discussion touches on the graphic war violence that eventually numbs the viewer, mirroring the journalists' experience. We question if the movie succeeds more in its fictionalized character studies than its social commentary over the ambiguous world-building around the politics of the fractured states.
We grapple with the unsettling implications of Civil War. Is it a sensationalized dystopian vision, an urgent cautionary tale, or a mix of both? The differing perspectives make for a solid conversation about one of the year's polarizing films.

In the vast expanse of cinematic storytelling, few tales grip the imagination like Frank Herbert's "Dune." As Denis Villeneuve's vision unfolds in "Dune: Part Two," the Film Board gathers to unravel the complex tapestry of prophecy, power, and the perils of messianic fervor.
Pete Wright, along with acolytes Steve Sarmento and Matthew Fox, embark on a journey through the dunes of Arrakis, where the line between hero and conqueror blurs like a mirage. As Paul Atreides grapples with his destiny, the specter of religious manipulation looms large, a testament to Herbert's prescient critique of the weaponization of faith.
Yet, in the hands of Villeneuve, the narrative takes on new dimensions. Chani, once relegated to the sidelines, emerges as a voice of reason amidst the swirling sands of fanaticism. Her perspective challenges not only Paul but the audience, forcing us to confront the seductive allure of the messianic trap.
The parallels between Herbert's world and our own become increasingly apparent. The Film Board dissects the Abrahamic roots of the messianic mythos, tracing the threads that bind the Fremen's fervor to the real-world complexities of organized religion and the mobilization of indigenous peoples.
In the end, "Dune: Part Two" emerges as more than a mere sequel; it is a mirror held up to our own struggles with faith, power, and the consequences of unchecked belief. As the credits roll and the twin moons of discourse and reflection set, we are left to ponder the eternal question: in the face of prophecy, do we have a choice, or are we all swept up in the inexorable tide of destiny?

The spy action comedy "Argylle" arrives in theaters this month with an all-star cast but mixed critical reviews. The film comes from director Matthew Vaughn, known for stylized spy franchises like "Kingsman." It also represents Apple TV+'s most ambitious foray into major theatrical releases to date.
"Argylle" stars Henry Cavill as the titular super spy, alongside Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, Bryan Cranston, Catherine O'Hara and others. The convoluted plot involves uncovering a global conspiracy which is the cinematic equivalent of a snake eating another snake that is eating a USB stick.
But the major talking point is a surprise twist ending that just does some stuff to Vaughnās cinematice universes. Vaughn has hinted at ambitions to build a spy movie universe for years. The "Argylle" twist formally bridges a bunch of his prior work.
But box office has been soft for recent Vaughn spy installments, raising questions about appetite for an interconnected spy world. "Argylleā is underperforming right now.
The film's source novel also has an unusual backstory. Vaughn originally wanted to adapt "I Am Pilgrim," but couldn't secure rights. So he enlisted that book's author Terry Hayes along with Tammy Cohen to pen an "Argylle" novel as if it were written by Bryce Dallas Howard's character. That doesnāt make the story of the movie any easier.

The Film Board Gathers! The gang of thugs is here to take on a movie currently in theaters, and this month, we have Michael Mannās return to the big screen with āFerrari.ā Join Pete Wright with Tommy Metz III and Justin "JJ" Jaeger as they unpack the high-octane drama that has raced into theaters.
Mann's return to the big screen after a lengthy hiatus has been much anticipated, with "Ferrari" taking the spotlight. The film, lensed with the sharp eye of Erik Messerschmidt, dives deep into the life of the legendary Enzo Ferrari, whose passion for racing is as much a part of his identity as the iconic vehicles bearing his name. However, it's not all smooth driving; the hosts discuss the mixed reactions from their broader social circles, hinting at a narrative that may have missed some turns.
They tackle the performances head-on, with one in particular sparking controversy ā a character whose Italian accent may have veered off track. The narrative structure of the film is another point of contention, with the hosts questioning whether the story's stakes were effectively established and if the portrayal of the pivotal Mille Miglia race hit the mark.
Despite the debate, there's a clear appreciation for the craftsmanship behind "Ferrari." The cinematography scores high marks from the crew, even if some performances do not. And as always, the conversation isn't just about the film itself but what it represents, both in the pantheon of racing movies and in Mann's own storied career.

The Film Board Gathers! Pete, JJ, and Tommy settle in āround the hearth to hear the story of the vengeful electrician and the silent treatment in John Wooās return to Hollywood: Silent Night.
Ok, right up front, The Film Board normally tries to pick films that are likely to be a bit bigger at the box office. Normally. But we have some ties to this production and, frankly, itās a film trying some interesting things.
No dialog? Sure! John Wooās first Hollywood production in years? You bet! Ok, so those are two things. Maybe it tries for more. Who could be sure? The point is, we didnāt love the movie, but we had a blast talking about it, and we hope you have just as much of a blast listening to it. Even if... especially if... you donāt go see it yourself.

This month, The Film Board is taking on David Fincher's latest, The Killer. Cinematographer Erik Messerschmidt sat down with Justin Jaeger and Tommy Metz III to talk about making the movie, how movies are made, and why David Fincher's reputation in one important area is wildly overstated.

āThe Killer,ā it turns out, is an interesting litmus test for movie lovers. David Fincherās latest seems to push viewers to their corners. Is it just a movie? A competent excursion in action beats and voice-over? Or is it a meditation on what it means to work, but told through the eyes of a professional assassin? Or, perhaps the most cynical, is it simply a boring travelogue of a man exercising privilege through international travel and fast food?
Whatever it is for you, itās worth talking about for us. So, the Film Board Gathers. Justin Jaeger, Tommy Metz III, and Pete Wright watched The Killer and as noted fans of Fincherās work, you can imagine we have a lot to talk about.
We spend a significant portion of our conversation dissecting the film's unique marriage of high-brow and low-brow tendencies. The film's protagonist, an assassin who embodies an intricate blend of sophistication and vulgarity, presents a clear dichotomy of character, highlighted in his fluent speech and the deliberate placement of an earbud with a pinky finger, contrasted with his choice of a 10-gram protein meal at McDonald's.
As we navigate through the narrative arc of the film, we reflect on its deep-seated symbolism and the meticulousness of the protagonist. Our conversation moves from an analysis of the film to its comparison with other popular titles, such as Steven Soderbergh's work and the John Wick series. We muse over the film's realistic, almost journalistic approach to the assassin's world, which stands in stark contrast to the more fanciful, comic-book-like portrayal in Wick.
A highlight of our discussion is our interview with Eric Messerschmidt, the cinematographer of The Killer, known for his work on Mank, Mindhunter, Devotion, and the upcoming Ferrari. We delve into the technical aspects of filming, the use of motion control, and the creative process behind the scenes. Messerschmidt's insights add a new dimension to our understanding of the film and reaffirm our appreciation for the precision and control employed in its making. The full interview will be the very next episode for those curious about when Erik saw Star Wars and what that says about loving movies.
Our collective verdict on "The Killer" is quite positive. Weāre enamored by the film's patience, precision, and unique take on the assassin genre.

Martin Scorsese first optioned the rights to David Grann's bestselling book Killers of the Flower Moon back in 2016, sensing it would make for a powerful film. After years of pre-production, casting leads like Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro, and nailing down the intricate period details of 1920s Oklahoma, Scorsese finally brought his sprawling murder mystery to life.
Here's a hint at what we talk about:
We dig into the movie's treatment of the real-life Osage murders, analyzing if Scorsese succeeded in his goal of reclaiming this story for the indigenous victims. There's debate around the choice to focus on DiCaprio and De Niro's characters rather than the Native American perspectives. We also discuss standout performances from Lily Gladstone and Brendan Fraser, and touch on the cinematography and editing.
Here are a few other points in our discussion:
The pacing and episodic nature of the 3.5 hour runtimeThe reliability of DiCaprio's character Accuracy of the Osage language spokenThe effectiveness of Scorsese's meta cameoHow this compares to past Scorsese filmsKillers of the Flower Moon prompted a thought-provoking discussion on our show. While we didn't all see eye to eye, we appreciated the chance to dig into this complex and haunting story. We have a great time talking about it, so check it out then tune in before The Film Board adjourns again!

Or is there actually some meat on those bones... Weāre setting sail on The Last Voyage of the Demeter.
Tommy Metz III, Justin 'JJ' Jaeger, and Pete Wright set sail this week to discuss the long journey the Demeter has taken to see the big screen. Weāre fans of AndrĆ© Ćvredal and so many in the cast, so weāre a bit rocked to say that the film might not live up to the sum of its fantastic parts.

The Film Board gathers! The gang of thugs is here to take on a movie currently in theaters and this month... letās call it counter programming. The crew is going to try and prove that we, too, are Kenough as we talk about Greta Gerwigās MUCH pinker sequel to Little Women: Barbie.
Itās a film dense with jokes and ideology, and of course the baggage of opening Oppenheimer-adjacent. Itās certainly the biggest thing on big screens right now and we take it as our solemn duty to determine if it plays for the middle-aged guy crowd. If those guys are like Steve Sarmento, Justin 'JJ' Jaeger, Tommy Metz and Pete Wright, theyāre in pretty good hands.

Weāve only talked about one other Fast Saga film here at The Film Board and given our experience with Fast X, weāre starting to figure out why. But whether the film is good or bad isnāt really the question. The question is why? Itās big, bombastic, and bonkers-expensive, reportedly coming in at over $340 million and the 8th most expensive production ever. Numbers change, dollars move, but according to this, family is all that really matters. Family, and ridiculous amounts of money. Money is family. Family is money. And also cars.
That last paragraph was a free-writing exercise by an AI version of your fair editor, and yet we present it unaltered because it represents our experience with the film as faithfully as any conversation ever could.
Itās true. We werenāt crazy about the movie. But Justin 'JJ' Jaeger, Tommy Metz III, Steve Sarmento, and Pete Wright had a blast talking about it and hope you have as much fun joining us.

The Film Board Gathers! The gang of thugs is here to take on a movie currently in theaters and this month, weāre headed to the big, bad city where everyone is dressed in robes... and masks age like fine marble. Itās Scream VI, where Ghostface follows the waterfront all the way to New York City. Thereās never been one like this... or has there? Itās franchise rules with Justin 'JJ' Jaeger, Steve Sarmento, Tommy Metz III, and Pete Wright.

The Film Board Gathers! The gang of thugs is here to take on a movie currently in theaters and spoil it rotten, and this month weāre taking the stage with the Tatum behind his third run as his spiritual alter-ego Mike Lane in Steven Soderberghās latest return from retirement, Magic Mike's Last Dance.
How does Taterbergh handle round three now that we've reached such a departure from Channing's real-life experience? Does this film maintain the charm of the last two and move Mike's story forward? Where did all that water go from the stripper ballerina bit? Seriously, right? It's just gone.
The gang is split on the last dance, and we're eager to hear what you have to say! Join the conversation with movie lovers from around the world on The Next Reelās Discord channel!

The Film Board Gathers! This month it's all about everybody's favorite murderbot who just can't stop with the hand-washing: M3GAN! Just what is it that attracts (most) of us to this James Wan-Blumhouse mash-up of mechanical malignancy? Is it the incredible performance of humans behind the machine? Is it Allison Williams playing less racist, but still pretty oblivious? Or is it the reclamation of scares from horror-satire and rejiggering them for jumps today?
Pete Wright hosts Andy Nelson, Steve Sarmento, Justin 'JJ' Jaeger, and Tommy Metz III for a rousing conversation with a number of threads left unresolved ā just like this script!

Ocean Murff and Krissy Lenz have been to infinity and beyond in Pixarās latest in the Toy Story Cinematic Multiverse, Lightyear. Chris Evans dons the dome as our titular space ranger. How well does his take on non-toy-Tim-Taylor fit as a parallel-prequel to the beloved Toy Story films? The film has hit the box office with mixed reception in spite of its pedigree and voice cast, including Keke Palmer, Peter Sohn, James Brolin, Bill Hader, and Taika Waititi.

Ocean Murff, Pete Wright, and Krissy Lenz strap in and fly the canyon run to attack the station ā which is now fully-operational ā in Top Gun: Maverick. So letās get ready to bullās eye some womp rats with the new crew of bests of the best!
The gang is all here! Mav, his romantic flirty foil, several cantankerous military authority figures to disrespect, a constant friend on the tarmac, a dozen better-than-you pilots, and the notorious black-clad fifth gen enemy! What do we love? And do we love it all enough to sit through it while weāre just waiting to get back into the air? Weāll just have to see if this relic of an aviator find itās time to hang up his Aviators.
