Welcome back to Living Local.
Looking to catch a movie this weekend.
Well, hey, you know, we have the guy, the one
the only Mike Schultz, arts editor for the reader here
to tell us all about what's new and give us
his review of Hey, man, how are you?
I'm doing well yourself.
I'm doing great.
Good.
So good.
I'm curious what you thought of long legs.
Let's talk about it.
I liked long legs.
You did.
I didn't love long legs.
OK, but a lot of people did that made a
bunch of money.
It did.
New record for neon, 22 million or something like that.
Yes, Long Legs is a creepy is all get out
serial killer flick about.
This character named Long Legs for 30 years has been
attacking families and basically getting the father of the family
through means unknown to slaughter the family and then end
his own life.
Nobody can figure out what's going on.
They should have looked at the opening credits of the
movie to figure out who the the killer is because
it says Nicolas Cage has long legs right in the
opening credits.
And there's a reason for it because he plays the,
the oh, gosh, delusional diabolical madman in this.
But the opening credits are almost daring you saying, yeah,
we're going to tell you it's Nicolas Cage right away.
You're still not going to believe what he does in
this movie.
He is so freaky.
He has weird kabuki pancake makeup, and he's got frizzy
Gray hair and botched surgery.
You can barely recognize him.
He talks in a weird sing song that turns into
a shriek.
Everything he does is nightmarish and memorable.
And the fact that you know it's Nicolas Cage is
of no help at all.
You're just like, no, I'm still, I'm still scared beyond
belief, even though I've seen him do crazy for 40
years.
The rest of it is a decent serial killer flick.
It explains too much in the last the last act,
and it doesn't end very satisfyingly, but it's worth it
for Nick Cage.
Man, oh man.
Well, he's so good.
He's so good.
He's so good and never does the same performance twice.
Yeah, which he ever, which I love.
I mean, and he's been at this, like we said,
decades, decades and decades, and he's still killing it.
So he's one of the best.
It's at last picture House right now.
All right, It's a Friday.
All right, good.
Yeah, All right, man, I'm.
I'm all in on this next one.
I really am.
Twisters.
Yeah, I cannot wait.
I'm a big Glen Powell fan.
Me too.
And I love Twist.
I love the original.
Everybody's super curious.
It's like.
Yeah, exactly.
And it's held up really, really well.
Really.
What?
That's 28 years ago.
The original Twister came out.
We finally folks have a sequel, and it is apparently
a standalone sequel.
It's not filled with any characters from the first one.
This one stars Daisy Edgar Jones as a employee for
the National Weather Service in New York.
She used to be a storm chaser until a tragedy
ended her interest in that field.
She gets a call from a friend saying that there's
unusual activity in Arkansas, you should come check out.
She reluctantly does.
She runs into Glenn Powell.
There.
He is Glenn Powell himself as a as a social
media star and YouTube hound who films all of his
adventures.
My guess is that she's going to be uptight and
he's going to be free loving and they're going to
hate each other and then they're going to fall in
love.
I bet they do well, and who wouldn't?
Who wouldn't with either one of them?
They're adorable.
In the meantime, we've got all sorts of twister effects,
and it's going to be a lot of chasing.
And I I I'm looking forward to it, too.
I can't.
I'm.
I'm here for the Powell Lassance that we're in because
he's in everything.
He's in everything.
Put him in more fun.
I'm perfect with that.
I can't wait.
Yeah, no, I love twisters.
It's going to be great.
All right, man, this next one, Oddity.
It looks like one.
Yes, it does.
Oddity.
So it's another scary movie, folks.
This one is set in Ireland.
Big creepy man in Ireland, there's a woman who's home
while her husband is at work and a guy with
one eye shows up at the door and says, lady,
you have to let me in and protect you because
there's a man inside who wants you dead.
We apparently find out through a cut to the next
year that the woman got killed.
We don't know if it was by the person in
the house that he said it was, if it was
by this guy.
And so the woman's husband, OK, involves his, involves his
wife's twin sister, if I have this correct, Because why?
Why wouldn't you?
She's apparently a psychic who, through touching objects that the
deceased have touched, can kind of see the past.
And so we're going to try to solve the mystery
of how the woman got killed.
Forgot to mention, the psychic shows up with a big
scary mannequin who's got holes in his head because why
not?
And exactly.
And we're going to try to suss out the crime.
It looks, it looks, it looks like it would live
up to its name.
It's going to be an odyssey for sure.
And I, I love that they threw a sacrificial lamb
out against twisters just in case there was somebody in
America who didn't want to see that movie.
So we do have an option for you folks if
you're not up for the Glen Powell assault, the charm
offensive.
Well, I guess.
Yeah.
Well, good luck with that one.
Yeah.
We'll see at Twisters.
Well, hey, man, let's go over what we talked about
real quick.
Long legs, which you kind of like.
And then Twisters and Oddity couldn't be crazy different in
my future.
Well, good luck this weekend, man.
I appreciate that.
Yeah.
