TJ, Brent, Chris and David don’t feel at home in this world anymore while talking about the homework (I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore) – then, inspired by both a scene in that movie (IDFAHITWA for short) and by the guardedness around Game of Thrones, we dip our toes into the choppy waters of Spoiler Culture… What constitutes a spoiler, our personal takes, worst spoilers, etc. [Spoiler alert].

Here’s what it is… TJ, Brent, Chris and David talk what they’ve been watching… Then, talk Episode 1 of Game of Thrones… Then, talk about a bunch of high-profile trailers… THEN, a couple news items (Breezy on the Streets much?). Even after an extended vacation break, we always come original, Tootsie… It gets punchy at the end.
The Watchlist (0:54) Chris: The Fast and Furious Franchise box set (1:00), Riverdale (4:41), The Challenge: Dirty XXX (8:43), Get Out (22:47) Brent:The Tenant (11:25), The Big Sick (12:58), A Bucket of Blood (13:37), The Apartment (15:29), Police Academy (16:30), Mrs. Doubtfire (16:53), Party Down (21:52) TJ:Bring It On Trilogy (25:46), Star Wars Prequel Trilogy (27:14), Rogue One (29:43), Better Call Saul (30:42), TJ’s Lion King Shirt (31:17) David: Downward Dog (32:29), The Lego Batman Movie (36:09), Car Boys (Griffin McElroy/Nick Robinson Polygon series) (38:18) Cross-Talk: Game of Thrones, Ep. 1 “Dragonstone” (40:32) Breezy on the Streets (47:51)

Sorry to disappoint this week, but no Talkie Talk podcast, as the site was on vacation. But that’s all right, as none of us watched very much and we’re saving the best news for next week (it will be Breezy AF!).
What we can share is the results of the homework vote. We posted four options, sources from our Movies By Us group on Facebook. You all voted, and here is how it turned out…
The Nightmare (image: Film Linc)
4th – The Nightmare (2015) – “A documentary-horror film exploring the phenomenon of ‘Sleep Paralysis’ through the eyes of eight very different people.”
Christine (not the car) (image: Fact UK)
3rd – Christine (2016) – “Rebecca Hall stars in director Antonio Campos’ third feature film, CHRISTINE, the story of a woman who finds herself caught in the crosshairs of a spiraling personal life and career crisis.”
The Beaver (image: We Live Entertainment)
2nd – The Beaver (2011) – “Jodie Foster directs and co-stars with Mel Gibson in The Beaver – an emotional story about a man on a journey to re-discover his family and re-start his life. Plagued by his own demons, Walter Black was once a successful toy executive and family man who now suffers from depression. No matter what he tries, Walter can’t seem to get himself back on track…until a beaver hand puppet enters his life.”
And the winner…
I Don’t Feel At Home in this World Anymore (image: Metro News CA)
1st – I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore (2017) – “Fed up with the human indecency she sees around her and set off by her home being burglarized, Ruth (Melanie Lynskey) teams up with her martial arts-crazed neighbor (Elijah Wood) to exact vengeance. However, the duo soon finds themselves deep into a world they know little about. Macon Blair directed this crime thriller.”
This movie can be found on Netflix, as it’s another Netflix original movie.
We’re excited to get back into the groove of talking Talkie Talk – and we’ll be talking IDFAHITWA(wow) next week, along with a brilliant main topic.
