June is a wannabe influencer who's juggling multiple problems: her parents want her to move out, her ex-boyfriend accuses her of stalking him, and two detectives think she may be involved in the robbery of a local pharmacy. DRUGSTORE JUNE is a comedy written and directed by the man who gave the world GRANDMA's BOY amd our first guest: Nicholaus Goossen. 

ASLEEP IN MY PALM introduces us to an Afghanistan War veteran and his teenage daughter living off the grid during a very wintery Ohio must confront the challenges of her sexual awakening and the reckoning of his conflicted and violent past.

Writer/director/cinematographer (also editor and producer!) Alfonso Cuarón speaks on his autobiographical film ROMA.

THIS WEEK'S SHOW: Love and monsters! 

If you could could change the past, would you? A woman discovers certain songs she shared with her former boyfriend can send her back in time, giving her a second chance to twist fate. But, her journey through the hypnotic connection between music and memory collides with a burgeoning new love interest in the present. It's THE GREATEST HITS and we sit with writer/director Ned Benson (BLACK WIDOW) and lead actors Lucy Boynton & Justin H. Min. 

In the near future on a decimated Earth, a father (played by Nicolas Cage) and his two teenage sons find tranquility by day but terror by night as they're stalked by soul-consuming creatures. When the Dad is nearly killed, the boys come up with a desperate plan for survival, relying on everything their father taught them.

CELLULOID DREAMS THE MOVIE SHOW -- 4/25/24

THIS WEEK'S SHOW: It's all in our heads! 

A manic experimental filmmaker (played by the writer and director of the film Philip Jozef Brubaker, who actually undergoes psychosis onscreen) summons a manifestation of Stanley Kubrick into his apartment to confront the famous filmmaker on the negative depiction of mental illness in his filmography. The two directors go on a feverish journey through Kubrick's oeuvre, as the master director is confronted for his negative portrayal of the burden of insanity. Characters from DR. STRANGELOVE, THE SHINING and FULL METAL JACKET are re-evaluated as Brubaker demands the recalcitrant Kubrick admit to his bias against the mentally ill. And it's a documentary! Philip Józef Brubaker discusses his unmistakably-titled HOW TO EXPLAIN YOUR MENTAL ILLNESS TO STANLEY KUBRICK. 

Then, "Screen Scene" movie reviews including ﻿HARD MILES [also VOD]; THE MINISTRY OF UNGENTLEMANLY WARFARE; ABIGAIL; RIPLEY [Netflix] and HOW TO EXPLAIN YOUR MENTAL ILLNESS TO STANLEY KUBRICK.

HOW TO EXPLAIN YOUR MENTAL ILLNESS TO STANLEY KUBRICK + MOVIE REVIEWS (CELLULOID DREAMS) 4/25/24

On this week's show, we watched a trio of movies about adults returning to the small towns they abruptly left as teenagers. Comprising GROSSE POINTE BLANK, SWEET HOME ALABAMA and THE JUDGE, this genre raises all sorts of questions about self-reflection, the meaning of roots, and forgiving your younger self for handing out judgment. So naturally, we had to have Noah's little brother (a high school freshman) on the podcast. Find timestamps for the different movie discussions below, and find all episodes at bereelguys.com. 

3:45 - Grosse Pointe Blank (1997, John Cusack)
18:45 - Sweet Home Alabama (2002, Reese Witherspoon)
29:50 - The Judge (2014, Robert Downey Jr.)
