Ep. 88 Cloak & Dagger
Today’s movie is Cloak & Dagger directed by Richard Franklin. This movie is part of our Kickstarter promo series, where we watch movies that are related in one way or another to our graphic novel trilogy Meow the Infinite. The campaign for the final book is now live on Kickstarter! If you enjoy the podcast, please consider checking it out!Cloak & Dagger is a nostalgic movie for 80s kids that didn’t stand the test of time. Davey, whose imaginary friend is a spy hero named Jack Flack, finds himself embroiled in an actual spy drama. This movie has a handful of great ideas that are connected by a lot of hokey, cartoonish action and implausible plot points. We dive into what worked and what didn’t.Thanks for joining us for another episode of Molly Movie Club! This is a public episode.

Ep. 87 Munich
Today’s movie is Munich directed by Steven Spielberg.We were a bit split on Munich. Casey found the writing to be too heavy-handed and disconnected, sometimes to the point of silliness. Anna, on the other hand, resonated with Spielberg’s heightened style and found the film do be deeply emotionally affecting.Thanks for joining us for another episode of Molly Movie Club!In June we’ll be running a Kickstarter campaign for our graphic novel series Meow the Infinite!

Ep. 86 September 5
Today’s movie is September 5 directed by Tim Fehlbaum.There’s a lot to like about September 5. The detailed production design makes the film feel extremely immersive, almost as thought it was actually shot in the 1970s. But for all the attention to detail and excellent acting, the movie ends up feeling ephemeral and ultimately forgettable, in large part due to its short runtime and limited ability to show locations outside of the studio. Still, it’s worth a watch.Thanks for joining us for another episode of Molly Movie Club!In June we’ll be running a Kickstarter campaign for our graphic novel series Meow the Infinite!

Ep. 85 Saturday Night Fever
Today’s movie is Saturday Night Fever directed by John Badham. There’s something so refreshing about Saturday Night Fever. John Travolta is fantastic as Tony, a young man struggling to find his place in 1970s Brooklyn. The film isn’t afraid to explore the darker side of humanity, and the result is an deeply relatable film that refuses to give in to narrative cliches.Thanks for joining us for another episode of Molly Movie Club!In June we’ll be running a Kickstarter campaign for our graphic novel series Meow the Infinite!
