  • [Debate] The movie 'Materialists': Sam vehemently dislikes 'Materialists,' calling it a 'clunker,' 'unfocused,' and 'tonally all over the place,' feeling it was a significant disappointment and a 'sophomore slump' for the director. The other host notes his wife enjoyed it more, suggesting a potential gender divide in reception, but Sam dismisses this. (Sam, with input from other host)
  • [Deep dive] 'Materialists' movie review and detailed critique: Sam provides a thorough breakdown of his negative experience with 'Materialists,' highlighting issues with its dialogue (written by a playwright), jarring tonal shifts, unrealistic character motivations (Chris Evans' 37-year-old in a sharehouse), and a poorly resolved B-plot. He contrasts it with the acclaimed 'Past Lives' by the same director, labeling 'Materialists' a 'sophomore slump.' (Sam, with interjections from other host)
