Pick Your Take

by Pick Your Take

Want to listen to two people disagree, but still get along? Join Isaac Leggett and Chris Dimoulas as they pick their takes on beloved and polarizing films. One loves it, one hates it; they debate it. Each episode your hosts review a movie, dive deep into the careers of the cast and crew involved, play their very own Kevin Bacon Game, and wrap up with the question: What Do You Love?

Episodes

33: The Matrix Resurrections

2h 34m · Published 12 Jan 08:00

Chris and Isaac enter The Matrix Resurrections (2021). Does this sequel hold a gooey mirror to the (over)commercialization of film? Or does Resurrections’ tone feel stale in today’s sea of self-aware content?

Tumble down the rabbit hole into The Matrix Metaverse, admire Lana Wachowski’s confident direction, and celebrate the triumphant return of Trinity and Neo with your hosts in Episode 33.

32: From Hell

2h 6m · Published 05 Jan 08:00

Follow your hosts as they ride out Johnny Depp and Heather Graham’s fluctuating accents, concede to the fact that this movie flat out has one of the best carriage crashes to grace the silver screen, and explore directors Albert and Allen Hughes’ visionary filmography.
