What's up to the 159 other Wisconsin subscribers. I went to Kopp's last night for the first time in far too long (flavors of the day: key lime pie and ultimate cookie dough). Man, do you know what place has incredible vibes? Kopp's on a Sunday summer night. Why are there still so many soccer teams there at 9:00 PM? Some things should remain a mystery.
I caught Seven Veils, Atom E’s newest, during the maybe one week it was showing in NYC earlier this year and thought it was really great!! Strong late era energy, bit of a Tár thing going on, amazing Seyfried performance—everything else after Sweet Hereafter seems like a curio at best but this one I’d heartily recommend for the Atomheads among us
I’ll be listening closely for any and all MN mentions during this series. The Coens are one of the only things we have. 🥲 also if you guys want any insight on what it’s like to spend your entire life in the Greater Twin Cities Metropolitan Area, hmu
Connoisseurs of Context: I was hoping the dossier would delve into WHY the 2012 film, “Vamps” uses footage of Gael Garcia Bernal singing in the music video “Quiero Que Me Quieras” recorded for the 2008 film “Rudo y Cursi” as the famous celebrity Sigourney Weaver is hoping to date/eat?
The Carrie Diaries was solid (at least season 1). That's where *I* know Austin Butler from. Why hasn't AnnaSophia Robb had at least 3 more shows of her in the decade since TCD ended?
Yeah, I think that was the idea proposed during the voting. Definitely interested to hear what they’re gonna do. The Naked Man? The Jesus Rolls? Ethan’s plays?

Which Kopp's? My childhood Kopp's was the one by Bayshore in Glendale with the sculpture of a cherry on a giant spoon.
I'm in Riverwest, so that's my local. The giant cherry spoon remains, as does the stoic line of guardian cows overlooking the parking lot.

Strong agree. Seven Veils deserved better than a perfunctory spring 2025 release after premiering at TIFF 2023 (maybe even 2022?).

I love the Twin Cities!

Marie talking about the Coens reminds me of how I feel about Lynch and Mann. Respect them, appreciate them, just haven’t hit their wavelength (yet).

Did not know about Dracula being Judas in Dracula 2000. That’s a really great idea.
I appreciate that J.J. is also a huge ALDI head based on his Poppi recommendation.
So Ella McKay will be one of the rare films co-starring a friend of the pod? Ayo is currently 4th billed on Letterboxd.
Can you tell us what any of the Coen Bros. series Patreon bonus episodes are going to cover?
Yeah, I thought their single directorial efforts would be Patreon bonuses but it looks like they're main feed now
Yeah, I think that was the idea proposed during the voting. Definitely interested to hear what they’re gonna do. The Naked Man? The Jesus Rolls? Ethan’s plays?
