You must bounce on it. Scythian style!

Equality State Of Mind
I agree. You can tell he never wrested in high school tho
Equality State Of Mind
Goofy, yes. That's how cops are, though. They get too far out in the sticks and just give up on calls sometimes.
Equality State Of Mind
You should see them, though. There's two are pretty fun.
Equality State Of Mind
Yeah, and giving them a hug while stabbing them is just unwise, from a criminal point of view, so you know he's got psychology.
Equality State Of Mind
They should have Felix on that one to do some gratuitous commentary on weapons and combat tactics!
Equality State Of Mind
So, the scene where Wendy gets back in the cab after talking to Trish? It's the only time she looked genuinely upset when there was nobody around to swindle; she was worried about getting AIDS, 100%. Given the decade and her perfect narcissism, there is no other reading. She was the protagonist, but she was not a hero. Heroism requires an heroic motive. She was a sexy, evil genius whose only motives were greed and assuaging her own boredom.

In the Ars Amatoria, Ovid calls reverse cowgirl “riding Parthian”

These movie mindset episodes have become some of my favorites, extremely entertaining. Thank you!
J.P. McD.
The male cohost helpfully pointed out that women are underestimated in real life as well
Pattern Recognizer Jr
Does anyone else think that maybe these women are being underestimated by the men around them and have to use their sexuality as a weapon and/or defense? Didn't hear this come up.
Tim Holland
Loved this episode. Great pairing of films for discussion and awesome guests.
Tim Adams
Hesse can you please 🙏 do Heat vs Den of Thieves?
Nolan
Plutos intent on killing in the most gruesome and intimate way is chilling.
James Browning
I recommend the graphic novels Fatale,Criminal,Incognito,The Fade Out,and Scene of The Crime if you want some excellent Femme Fatale/Crime Noir. Pretty much anything by Ed Brubaker with Sean Phillips doing the art is superb in this genre. This episode made me think of those books and older films as well. I need to check these films out. Thanks for covering them🙏🏻

According to Wikipedia Linda Fiorentino had considerable Oscar buzz for this role but the academy denied her a nomination because the movie played on HBO before it was in theaters. Just one more reason the academy should be burned to the ground.

Putting it on the watchlist

I shouldn’t be commenting. I know it is annoying. But Hurricane takes the detectives to the uncle shack before he overhears their mockery. His retelling of the interaction with the uncle is what begins their little backyard bbq. He overhears their mockery before taking them to fantasia’s family home, and this is when the cracks in his character really begin to show.

Hit Factory & Chapo? You love to see it. Dream movie analysis blunt rotation
Ruckle McChuckle
I wish they did Romeo is Bleeding. It’s perfect for those conversation

Women always be closing

"City? She's in Cow Country" ABSOLUTELY GOD DAMN RIGHT
Aaaaaaaaaaa
Mr Mindset, if you do a Paul Schrader double feature with Mishima and First Reformed I will sail to the ends of the earth to evangelize the word of Movie Mindset
Dude of H-town
Really glad they mentioned the Pellicano/Fiorentino connection. Truly, completely wild. A Pellicano story would be a perfect Coen Bros thing. He’s like a darker, real life version of Josh Brolin’s character in Hail, Caesar.

There’s a Last Seduction ll where Bridget goes to Spain to get her groove back (kill men again).
Erik Aldrich
The Last Seduction is on Tubi. watching it now!
Daniel E
It doesn’t matter if I’ve seen the movie or even if I ever will, i just really like listening to y’all talk about the movies
Wesley Campbell Caretto
Oh nice, Aaron and Carlee are getting the Chapo Bump! 🔥🔥🔥
THEKILLERWHALE
The Devil circa 1994: "Why yes, of course I can make a Linda Fiorentino erotic thriller..." {Makes Jade, a film so baffling and off-putting that it somehow manages to not be sexy} "HAHAHAHHAHAAAHAA"
Ben Reed
As a straight white man, I learned from these movies to stay away from women.
Salid Tahsaar
Can't believe they didn't touch on Gary Fleder's incredibly underrated "Thing to Do in Denver When You're Dead"
etienne
OFM trailer voice sounds exactly like the sample on Audubon by $uicieboy$ lol
Phubarrh
Linda Fiorentino in The Moderns is on another level altogether for me.
Scott Grabel
Only leading role for Bill Paxton? Has Will not seen “A Simple Plan”? Another 90s noir with Billy Bob?
Fingerless
paxton heads, check out Bill Paxton's New Wave Band, Martini Ranch. they've got some bops. James Cameron directed one of their music videos and it's the most James Cameron thing imaginable. https://youtu.be/rkz0Lx6VyxA?si=woWv8WRRWp4ENNN3

Tommy Lee Jones is notorious for being an asshole so he’s got some nerve blackballing Linda Fiorentino.
Robert Ditty
They mentioned it when they said Tommy Lee Jones refused to do Men In Black 2 if Linda Fiorentino was gonna be in it.
Thomas Ceparano
I’m upset no one brought up Men In Black which was my introduction to Linda Fiorentino and that was probably my very first introduction to thinking women are hot
emalco
Carlee’s analysis is excellent
snudge crunkies
Me too buddy, me too
Ian
The LAPD cops, the retired deputy, and the literal child getting lost on country roads was so goofy.
Ben Reed
That scene in One False Move where Bill Paxton wrestles that guy trying to break into his house with an axe rules.
The Children of Jack Acid
At first I thought you said this movie featured "Lucinda Williams" and it sounded just amazing! But Cynda Williams is fine, too. Lucinda Williams WAS in Allison Anders' "Strutter" and she basically played herself, out of a cabin in Joshua Tree. It was awesome.
Malaparte_Animal
Linda Fiorentino yes yes
Jordan Hunnicutt
I’m so stoked for this episode. Both these movies slap. The Last Seduction, especially, is insanely good.
Pat Yourell
Movie Madness, tho, too.
Evan Tiesman
going movie mode 🍿

I'm glad to have something to quench my thirst other than 1996's Bound

Best double feature so far this season. Real pumped for the Gorky Park / Pennies from Heaven ep !
Nick Paradise
I love movies
Burt Chintas
Just rewatched the last seduction right before this was posted! So glad you’re discussing this.
