Our 2011 retrospective continues, and with the Cannes Film Festival happening in just a few days, we're now reviewing the second Best Picture nominee from that year which had its world premiere at Cannes and won the coveted Palme d'Or, Terrence Malick's mesmerizingly beautiful "The Tree Of Life" starring Brad Pitt, Sean Penn & Jessica Chastain. Hailed as one of the most breathtaking and gorgeously shot films of all time, please take a listen as Dan Bayer, Brendan Hodges, Danilo Castro, and I break down what the film means to us emotionally, personally, and spiritually. We go over what we thought of the film's scope and ambition, the performances, the visual effects work for its dawn of the universe sequence, its awards run, and more. Thank you for all your support, and enjoy! Also, be sure to check out our other 2011 retrospective reviews for "War Horse," "The Help," "The Iron Lady," & "Midnight In Paris."

Sean Penn Wants Your Daughter | Ep. 405

Cuando distinguimos entre Jesús y la religión, muchos piensan que estamos jugando con las palabras. No entienden cuál es la diferencia. Quienes sí la ven claramente son los religiosos que observan a Jesús y a sus discípulos en el Evangelio según Lucas, cuando les preguntan por qué están con gente corrupta e inmoral (5:30). Jesús les contesta que es a aquellos que se ven pecadores, que ha venido a llamar y sanar de su enfermedad como el Médico divino (vv. 31-32). 

Un publicano como Levi no era un simple cobrador de impuestos. Era alguien que abusaba de la gente para su propio beneficio, al servicio de los enemigos de su pueblo, una persona despreciable incluso para su familia. A éste Jesús llama y él le sigue (Lc. 5:27-28). Los trovadores del folk alternativo americano más oscuro, Bill Callahan y Will Oldham (popularmente conocido como Bonnie "Prince" Billy) se unieron en 2020 al escocés Alasdair Roberts, para recuperar "la vieja y antigua religión" del "country-góspel" de Dave Rich en los años 60, por la que "He decidido" (I´ve Made Up My Mind) seguir a Cristo. Es un paso del que "Nunca volverán atrás" (Never Will Turn Back), los músicos negros británicos de Paradise, que introdujeron por primera vez el "funk" en el "góspel" a principios de los años 80. Cuando le preguntan a Jesús por qué sus discípulos no ayunan (5:33-39) y recogen espigas el día de reposo (6:1-5)  les dice que las "fiestas de bodas" se celebran con "vino nuevo". Es tiempo de "Regocijo" cuando como el cantante del grupo irlandés U2, Bono, te das cuenta que "no puedes cambiar el mundo, pero puede cambiar todo un mundo dentro de ti" (Rejoice 1981).

"Nunca fuimos ángeles" o "No somos ángeles" (1989) es una curiosa película del director irlandés Neil Jordan. Es una versión del clásico del año 55 del director de "Casablanca", Michael Curtiz, que con el mismo título convierte a Humphrey Bogart y Peter Ustinov en curas, al escapar de una prisión en la Isla del Diablo de la Guayana francesa. Aquí es Robert De Niro y Sean Penn los que se hacen sacerdotes en plena Depresión de los años 30 en una pequeña localidad en la frontera al norte de Nueva York con Canadá. Para ello, Jordan recurre al más prestigioso guionista y dramaturgo judío americano, David Mamet. Escuchamos diálogos de la versión doblada al castellano con los comentarios de José de Segovia sobre la banda sonora original de George Fenton. 

Cuando a Jesús le acusan de sanar en el día de reposo (Lc. 6:1-11), les muestra "El amor que puede curar". Así se titula la canción que ha hecho este año el antiguo cantante de Genesis, Peter Gabriel (Love Can Heal). Es al "perderse uno mismo y dejar una parte de ti detrás" que "cruzas la frontera" que trae "sanidad a tu corazón y tu mente", canta Glenn Kaiser, el antiguo hippie de la "Gente de Jesús" de Chicago con su Banda de la Resurrección en una de sus composiciones más personales (The Crossing) en su disco sobre el divorcio de 1981 (Mamá ya no quiere a Papá). Seguiremos considerando esa "Misericordia" en nuestra siguiente parada en esta Ruta, a la luz del resto del capítulo 6 del Evangelio según Lucas...

Lucas 5-6 (La Diferencia) - Ruta 66 con José de Segovia

This week the dream don't come no closer by itself, as A DePalmber to ReMalmber continues with a movie that is in some ways a spiritual sequel to Scarface, and is in other ways laying out the formula for tension in the Mission: Impossible series that the director will kick off with his next project. It's 1993's Carlito's Way, directed by Brian DePalma, written by David Koepp, and starring Al Pacino, Sean Penn, Penelope Ann Miller, John Leguizamo, Luis Guzman, Ingrid Rogers, James Rebhorn, Viggo Mortensen and John Ortiz. It's a movie with a far more personal core than DePalma and Pacino's previous collaboration, and packs an absolute doozy of a final act. And while Pacino is good in the lead, the movie is fully swallowed up from under him by a career-best Sean Penn, giving frankly one of the best performances this copywriter has ever seen. Plus we debut a brand new segment called Did Hayley Hate It? and J-Mo's got a theatrical field report on Dream Scenario.

Other works discussed in this episode include the broader works of Brian DePalma, including The Untouchables, Phantom of the Paradise, Blow Out, Snake Eyes, The Black Dahlia and his assorted music videos, in addition to Burning, Love Has Won: The Cult of Mother God, Independence Day, Romeo + Juliet, Lord of the Rings, and Dark Side of the Ring.

If you'd like to watch the movie prior to our discussion, Carlito's Way is available for streaming in Canada on Amazon Prime at the time of publication.

We'll be back next week to wrap up our limited DePalma series with a rare mid-month cannon entry, as 1996's Mission: Impossible is our December nominee to enter the pod pantheon. That film can be found on Paramount+. We'll see you at the movies!

"Daddio" had its world premiere at the 2023 Telluride Film Festival and would later go on to screen at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival and 2024 Tribeca Festival. It received positive reviews for its direction, writing, and performances from Dakota Johnson and Sean Penn. Johnson, who also produced the film, and director/writer Christy Hall (making her feature directorial debut) were kind enough to spend some time talking with us about their experiences working on the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in theaters from Sony Pictures Classics. Thank you, and enjoy!

Interviews With "Daddio" Star/Producer Dakota Johnson & Director/Writer Christy Hall

Many stories have their origins in unique places, personal stories, a sense of classic narratives, emotions, or the media that may be prominent in our youth. For writer-director Christy Hall, the origins of Daddio were in fact all of those, beginning when she was a youngster in a small town in Oklahoma. "This story really started to manifest itself a very long time ago," says Hall. "As a kid, there was a show on HBO called Taxicab Confessions that I was way too young to be watching. But I remember I would sneak downstairs in the house and put it on and watch it in the dark. It had these incredible narratives of delicious characters from all over New York who would get in a cab and bare their souls to the cabbie. It captured a quintessential reality of the New York City landscape."

Following the screening, Deadline's chief film critic Pete Hammond, who can also be seen on PBS SoCal's Must See Movies, moderates an in-person Q&A with director/writer Christy Hall.

#457 - Say, Buddy, When Is A Sidewalk Fully Dressed? When It's Waring Hudsucker!

This week, P.T.August continues with P.T.A.'s most recent output, and for the second time this year we're joined once again by the people's champion Matt Pollock to talk about a movie he has been smitten with since its COVID-era theatrical release: it's 2021's Licorice Pizza, written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, and starring Alana Haim, Cooper Hoffman, Sean Penn, Tom Waits, Bradley Cooper, Benny Safdie, Skyler Gisondo, Mary Elizabeth Ellis, Harriet Sansom Harris, and the entire Haim family. A collection of mostly true stories from 1970s L.A. embued with the golden glow of Anderson's own That One Summer childhood nostalgia, its led by two extremely winning performances from a pair of actors both making their big screen debuts. While not without its controversies, it's a dreamlike hazy hangout movie we all loved quite a lot.

If you'd like to watch the film before listening along to our discussion, Licorice Pizza is currently streaming in Canada on Crave and across the globe on the Criterion Channel at the time of publication.

Other works referenced in this episode include Twisters, Targets, Scanners, Kim's Video, Michael Clayton, Saturday Night, The Ladies Man, Coneheads, It's Pat, Rebel Ridge, Hold The Dark, Green Room, Blue Ruin, Clueless, Dazed and Confused, Wild Wild West, An Evening With Kevin Smith, A Star Is Born, Maestro, Warrior, Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret, The Curse, Good Time, Coffee and Cigarettes, Down By Law, Rumble Fish, The Outsiders, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, Mystery Men, Domino, Seven Psychopaths, Special When Lit, Pinball: The Man Who Saved The Game, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood..., among countless others.

We'll be back next week with more P.T.August as Travis Woloshyn joins the two-timer club, returning to talk another fumblingly comic detective noir as we watch Joaquin Phoenix and Katherine Waterston in 2014's Inherent Vice! Which is shockingly not currently streaming, at least not in Canada, so... good luck. Try the library! Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!

Welcome to The One Beer in Podcast! 

We're two best friends that enjoy getting on each others' nerves and talking crap while enjoying a good beer (or two). This podcast is your invitation into our colorful conversations that range from PlayStation to Internet politics. Strap in -- this is very much a conversational podcast, as we take a layman's point-of-view and discuss our interests: beer, video games, movies, tech, entertainment and basically any rabbit hole that we may wander into along the way. 

We often end our podcast with a beer review, and sometimes sneak in a bonus brew, so stay tuned. 

Cheers
