Echo Chamber - 436
A small shift means, just one @EchoChamberFP podcast for you this week, but we got you, so never fear!
In 'Part ONE' The Asylum, Atomic Blonde Entertainment, The Global Asylum, Dimension Pictures bring their brand of storytelling to bare, with giant snakes. We then get our buzz on and food cravings via American High, All Things Comedy, LD Entertainment, Hulu, Disney+. The perils of mentorship, ego, and success envy come from Middle Child Pictures, Netflix, and a real-life heist is merged with fiction thanks to Maltafilm, Valletta Pictures. PLUS, in the cinema, relationships, monogamy, kinks, life goals, and neighbours come together via Invite Productions Inc, Annapurna Pictures, FilmNation Entertainment, Permut Presentations, Black Bear Pictures, A24!
'The Anacondas' is directed by Marcel Walz, and written by Ryan Ebert & Marc Gottlieb. In Mexican ruins, archaeologists (Danielle Titus, Brian Russell, Hannah Hueston, Bix Krieger, Maureen Kedes, Diego Escobar, Jordan Iverach, Philipp Karner) awaken a snake-worship cult's guardian—an ancient anaconda that hunts them one by one.
'Pizza Movie' is the feature directorial debut from Nick Kocher & Brian McElhaney, which they also wrote. A group of college students (Gaten Matarazzo, Sean Giambrone, Lulu Wilson) go downstairs to their dorm lobby to get a delivery pizza. There’s only one issue: They’re insanely high on a homemade drug, turning their simple journey down two sets of stairs into a mind-bendingly transformative quest.
'Little Brother' is directed by Matt Spicer, and written by Jarrad Paul & Andrew Mogel. A tightly wound realtor’s (John Cena) picture-perfect life gets an extreme makeover when his lovably chaotic “little brother” (Eric André) suddenly reappears.
'The Theft of the Caravaggio' is directed by Joshua Cassar Gaspar, who co-wrote with Monika Maslowska. A priceless Caravaggio vanishes from a Valletta cathedral. The investigation (Elektra Anastasi, Peter Galea) that follows becomes a quiet, devastating reckoning for the man (Paul Kissaun) tasked with protecting it.
'The Invite' is directed by Olivia Wilde, and written by Will McCormack & Rashida Jones, a remake of 2020 Spanish film and play 'The People Upstairs' by Cesc Gay. A dinner party spirals into unexpected places when a couple (Olivia Wilde, Seth Rogen) invite their enigmatic neighbours (Penélope Cruz, Edward Norton) over. Have they reignited the spark in their troubled marriage -- or lit the match that burns it all down?
