The Arts Hole

Showgirls

We got over-stimulated, mistakes were made, and we ended up watching Showgirls. Is Paul Verhoeven's critically mauled stripper movie really as bad as its reputation suggests? Does a bear shit in the woods? And how do you like having nice tits, anyway? At least one of these questions will be answered.

Oppenheimer

 Ban the bum! ...numbing... length... of films like this.
 Christopher Nolan's Oscar-winning film tells the story of Robert Downey Jr.'s Lewis Strauss and his campaign to become Secretary of Commerce. Also there's some stuff about the potential annihilation of all life on earth thanks to the invention of the atom bomb, but they honestly don't go into it, much.

Barbie

Come on Arts Hole let's go part...s...hole. Hard as it is to believe, we stared at Margot Robbie for two hours and still have complaints. With awards season fast approaching, we finally weigh in on the big movie of 2023.

Jack Frost

A year after the horror movie "Jack Frost" came this unintentionally horrific family movie of the same name, in which Michael Keaton plays a man who is brought back as what can only be described as a Snow Wight*. It's a bad idea, but it's also handled ineptly. Merry Christmas!
*If you, like Bea, did not get this joke apparently it's a very highbrow Luke pun about ghosts.

The Polar Express

All aboard! ...Wait, no, sorry. All are bored by Robert Zemeckis' completely CGI Christmas movie about a magic train that can chug along on rails like a non-magic train, as well as no other things. None of the characters have names and all of them are Tom Hanks and if you want it to make sense, so did we.  
Luke's long digression - or at least one of them - is about this movie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emperor_of_the_North_Pole 
Head to Bea's Instagram if you want to see a side by side comparison of Conductor Tom Hanks & murderer Dr. Crippen...

Avatar 2: The Way of Water

 Listen, and understand. James Cameron is out there. He can't be bargained with. He can't be reasoned with. He doesn't feel shame, or remorse, or when a script is woefully in need of another draft. And he absolutely will not stop. Ever. Until we agree that giant blue cat monsters are sexy and cool. We've threatened this for a while, but settle in, because we finally watched Avatar 2. 
Correction: In the episode Bea says that Avatar: The Way of Water cost 2 billion US dollars to make; budget estimates actually range from $460 million to over $1 billion of combined production and marketing costs. The $2 billion figure came from James Cameron quoted in a Variety article from January 2023 saying the film would need to make $2 billion dollars to break even.

Masters & Disasters: Interview(s) With The Vampire(s)

Tom Cruise is a gay-coded immortal, who coincidentally plays a vampire in the movie adaptation of Anne Rice's book. It's not very good, but it did lead to a superb TV series. We look at why the recent 'Interview With The Vampire' series has bite, while the movie version just sucks. 
We also go into why former Superman Dean Cain's people reached out to us and what we did next...

The Nun

With The Nun Two in cinemas now we take a look at The Nun One: The Nunnaning, which takes place in the same cinematic universe as The Conjuring, detailing another allegedly true haunting. Have the dead returned to torment us, or is it just the force of habit? ...Sorry.
