Lunch with Jercules

    This week November brings two films that premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival and Stone makes a brief pop in to deliver some pain.

     Simon, also known as John Q masked singer of  local punk band PSYOPS, needs a place to lie low for a couple days. Patty is a painfully awkward introvert with health issues and John Q's most obsessed fan. A super agro, infectiously punk anti-romcom romcom with an incredible lead performance that is sure to be a favorite of youths looking for their own voices for years to come... Dinner in America.
     Zola is a waitress and occasional dance in Detroit. When she becomes fast friends in with Stephani, dancer and part time escort, Zola gets swept up in a nightmarish weekend trip to Florida. A tale that launched a million Tweets recreated for the screen with hyper stylized visuals and walking the line between social media satire and harrowing glimpse at the economy of male lust, Zola.
     Hercules, traditionally, was a great champion of the weak whose strength and far flung adventures have been told through centuries. Renny Harlin's 2014 feature throws all of that away for bad CG, terrible fights, and a cast who shouldn't be allowed to act ever... not even in local dinner theater. Specifically brought out to cause pain of us, it does it's job and at least one is left a weeping mess. The only thing this Legend of Hercules should have left behind is a lot of dead careers.
     All that and Tyler loves to love, Kevin finally catches up on the latest thang, and Dave just can't hold it in. Join us, won't we?
