MOVIE DISCUSSION:

Kathryn joins Melvin to discuss an early 2025 critical hit, Companion! How does the film balance its mix of thriller and comedy? Are the themes heavy-handed or are they handled with maturity? At the end of the day... is it even good? Tune in and find out!

Topics:

  • (FREE PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 25-minutes discussing Thunderbolts* being a critical success but failing financially, why we think that may be, and using Felipe Rangel's "10 Biggest Reasons Thunderbolts*'s Box Office Is So Disappointing" as a jumping-off point for each possible reason. (FREE PATREON EXCLUSIVE)
  • Companion successfully balances its thriller/horror and comedy material from start to finish.
  • Kathryn thinks they're currently over "gender commentary" movies and explains their reasoning.
  • There is a lot to explore in the film about independence, emancipation, and love.
  • Companion isn't copying other movies but it comfortably wears its influences on its sleeve.
  • Using technology to channel our sinful nature does not relinquish our responsibility to be good people.
  • Director Drew Hancock does well to pace out revelations within the film to keep it fresh and engaging.
  • The relationship between love, independence, and mutual understanding.
  • The ending is clear but also open-ended in that it asserts the endless possibilities that come with independence.
