Welcome to Movie Mandates, a review show in which sibling cinephiles Andrew and Keleigh force each other to watch movies according to a monthly theme!  This month we’re mandating movies that, upon viewing, make you say, “What did I just watch?” and we’re concluding with Terrence Malick’s The Tree Of Life, a movie that…

Um.  Well, you see…  Hmm.  It’s got Brad Pitt in it?  And he’s like, a guy.  Who does stuff.  And things happen.  But, it’s kinda like a metaphor?  For like, uh, life.  And stuff.

Look, we don’t know what we just watched but that’s not going to stop us from talking about it!

  • 0:00 – Trivial Trivia
  • 26:18 – The Tree Of Life review
  • 1:11:55 – Next episode’s mandated movie

We’ll be back in two weeks with another mandated movie.  If you’d like to watch it, click here to find where it’s streaming or available to rent.

Movie Mandates – HOUSE (What Did I Just Watch?)

Welcome to Movie Mandates, a review show in which sibling cinephiles Andrew and Keleigh force each other to watch movies according to a monthly theme!  This month we’re mandating movies that, upon viewing, make you say, “What did I just watch?”  We’re kicking it off with my mandated movie: House.  No, not the William Katt movie from 1985, though that’s a fun one, we’re talking the nearly inexplicable Japanese one from 1977.  The one featuring a cast of characters named after their own archetypes who visit a the titular house and are menaced in truly bizarre ways.  One’s eaten by a piano, one gets bitten on the butt by the disembodied head of her classmate, and another loses her pants but no one appears to notice.

House.  I can’t guarantee you’ll like it.  But I can confidently assert you’ll never forget it!

  • 13:35 – House review

We’ll be back in two weeks with another mandated movie.  If you’d like to watch it, click here to find where it’s streaming or available to rent.

My precious, fragile little feelings.

  • 0:00 – Throw a magic baby at it!
  • 7:47 – Monster Hunter Wilds is still fun. So I’m still playing it.
  • 22:26 – I organized one of those silly games you play on corporate Zoom calls. You know, team building and stuff? Anyway, one of the teams used AI to respond to the creative task my game assigned. That genuinely hurt my feelings. Like, I get it. I don’t care for those types of games either but honestly I’d rather you just bow out than use ChatGPT.
