The "Hope You're Hungry" Twitch Stream! Friday 11/18 (Patreon)
Content
It's almost Turkey Day time and because I can appreciate anything centered around food, it's time to dig into all the great movies of cinema (and surprisingly, it's not a massive pool?). But these are definitely my faves, so feel free to pop in for a (mostly) light-hearted affair that will definitely make you want to order a lot of food while you watch :)
It's like we'll have a big dinner together!
The stream will take place THIS FRIDAY 11/18
And it will be over on twitch https://www.twitch.tv/filmcrithulk
Onto the line-up! All times are pacific!!! And as always, subject to change.
1100a - pre roll
1115a - Big Night - The movie responsible for elevating Stanley Tucci from character actor to BELOVED character actor (not to mention the fact that he co-wrote and directed this film too with Campbell Scott). This is a murderers row of character actors and in 1996 it really was this fun mini phenomenon.
105p - Soul Food - I think that on all these streams we will end up covering the career of Nia Long and I will endorse this whole-heartedly. This 1997 film is directed by George Tillman Jr. who later went on to produce the Barbershop films!
300p - Eat Drink Man Woman - The film that turned Ang Lee into a sensation and made Emma Thompson think "yeah this dude can definitely direct a Jane Austen story." Get ready for delicious food and emotional complex family dynamics!
505p - The Trip - "Man, I could watch Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon just chat and crack jokes all day!" Well, do we have the movie / tv series for you! These movies are just so much fun and have surprising moments of depth and I just can't wait for any first timers. Get your Michael Caine impersonations ready :)
700p - Ratatouille - It really is just that good. Every little big of detail and understanding and focus comes to fruition. I also think it's one of the great movies about understanding what artistic appreciation is *really* about. I can't wait to watch it again.
855p - Tampopo - The best food film ever. No questions asked. Hilarious. Weird. Earnest. Full of humility and scathing indictments. I adore it. And I know we're already in love with older Ken Watanabe, but get ready to fall in love with young grumpy Ken Watanabe.
1050p - Pig - By far the most modern film of the stream, but no less deserving. This blew my mind last year and I'm ready to get completely emotional again. Get ready for a Nic Cage who is fully locked, loaded, and focused.
1225a - Secret Screening #1 - Silly and fun!
200a - Secret Screening #2 - Unexpectedly Weird!
