A Few Dollars More 002: Anomalisa
#IdBuyThatForADollar is cute to say, but sometimes you need to spell out why, so Steve and I talked it out. What follows is an in depth conversation not just about Charlie Kaufman’s latest film, but more importantly, one indebted to it. This movie will make you think. Let us know what you think about our thoughts.
Debt to Cinema 016: About Schmidt
There’s no particular reason Steve picked this film, but then again, when Jack Nicholson and Alexander Payne are involved, you shouldn’t need one. Join us as we talk about the wiles of an old man trying to find himself after society has told him his life is over.
Dollar Reviews 006: Joy
This week starts off with Steve’s transgender double feature of Tangerine and Boys Don’t Cry (7:45), The Diary of a Teenage Girl (17:26), Mistress America (20:40), Room (30:09), Love & Mercy (38:07), Joy (43:14), Macbeth (57:53), The Martian (1:05:17), and No Escape (1:14:21).
Debt to Cinema 015: Strange Days
This film is all about the imagination: Imagine if Kathryn Bigelow and James Cameron made a Y2K sci-fi action thriller.
Next imagine it has awesome virtual reality.
Also imagine it has a strong subtext about police brutality.
Finally, imagine what a podcast review would sound like about that film.

Dollar Reviews 003: The Force Awakens
Welcome to the all Star Wars episode where we start with Disney’s first installment in the galactic opera, then search our feelings for our opinions on the rest of the saga.
Debt to Cinema 013: Bad Santa
Santa only comes once a year, so it seemed like the perfect time for Steve to watch him with some of his ho-ho-hoes. Hope our voices help warm you up, but if they don’t be sure to send us some feedback.
