Reading Between the Reels: Film analysis with snark and heart

RBR #78: “Logan”

Logan is a 2017 superhero movie directed by James Mangold that serves a raw and emotional farewell to Hugh Jackman's iconic portrayal of Wolverine. On this episode, we discuss how the film distinguishes itself within the superhero genre by its gritty, character-driven storytelling, melancholy music, and its thoughtful exploration of the themes of mortality, redemption, and the consequences of violence.

RBR #77: “Big Trouble in Little China”

Big Trouble in Little China is a 1986 action-comedy directed by John Carpenter and starring Kurt Russell. Although it was a box office bomb upon its release, the movie has since become a beloved and enduring cult classic. In this episode we take a look back at the film’s unique blend of martial arts action, humor, and over-the-top characters.
