Marguerite and Luke
Welcome to Sacré Bleu! We review and rate movies on a 1-10 scale based on directing, writing, acting, production design, and sound + editing. Brought to you by an underqualified duo of cinephiles who are fueled by baguettes and inescapable self-loathing.
13. Joker
All we have are positive thoughts about the latest representation of the Clown Prince of Gotham. Todd Phillips shows he's more than the 'Hangover Guy' by slowly creeping under your skin as he shows a mentally ill man transform into one of the most beloved villains in existence. Joaquin Phoenix might as well have scales, a curly tail, and a three foot tongue because the man is a goddamn chameleon. He raises the bar on a character that has been played by some of the best actors of their generation. This standalone film is so subtle and detailed that a second watch is more than worth your while. Although dark and disturbing, Joker will definitely make you put on a happy face. Sacré Bleu!

12. Ad Astra
We're in space, but this time...... it's Brad Pitt! More like Chad Pitt, because the man can do no wrong. Pitt puts on his hiking boots and carries this movie from start to finish, giving an extremely emotional and complex performance. In spite of its relatively slow pace, this movie keeps you tense as you watch an accomplished astronaut's mind slowly decompose. Moon pirates and a believable world where space travel is commonplace, this film is fascinating from the start. However, the core plot development was illogical at times and included a few superfluous characters. Good thing the most handsome man in Hollywood was there to save the day. Sacré Bleu!

11. Da 5 Bloods
Da 5 Bloods is a Spike Lee joint from start to finish with the Oscar winning director's fingerprints all over it. This film follows four Vietnam vets (and one son) as they return to the land that scarred them forever in search of the treasure they left behind. It flows seamlessly between present day, flashbacks, and historical footage to display the plight of black Americans at home and abroad. Made as a commentary on the hypocrisy of racism in America, Spike Lee hits the bullseye in his newest film. Join us as we break down this Oscar nominated (probably will win a few) film. Sacré Bleu!

10. Spenser Confidential
Wake up at 2:30 AM, say your prayers, and start pumping some iron because Marky Mark is back in Spenser Confidential. Join us as we review Netflix's latest action comedy and don our worst Boston accents. This movie has everything an action-comedy needs, but falls flat in the end with a few redeeming bright spots along the way. You already know exactly what happens without having to watch it, but watch it anyway just in case the Funky Bunch makes a guest appearance. Sacré Bleu!

9. The Meg
Just when the stakes couldn't get any higher…. THEY DO! This week we dive into The Meg, a movie so corny you wish Micheal Bay would have directed it. Almost a parody of itself, this film has action, romance, goofs, and gaffs. Nonetheless it is a fun watch, so join us as we critique this beast and then display our lack of knowledge as we cap this episode off with a little trivia. Sacré Bleu!

8. Ford v Ferrari
No Viagra needed for this non-stop dad boner extravaganza. Travel back to the 1960's and follow Carroll Shelby (Matt Damon) and Ken Miles (Christian Bale) as they attempt to overthrow Ferrari as champions of the 24 hours of Le Mans. We critique this beautifully shot and edited film along with Luke's disdain for men who wear cowboy hats miles away from the nearest radio. Sacré Bleu!

7. The Willoughbys
What the Willoughby is up with Netflix's newest animated original? Join Luke and Marguerite as they break down this off-beat flick narrated by Ricky Gervais and featuring the voices of Maya Rudolph, Terry Crews, and a litany of other stars. Usually animated movies are about orphans trying to find a family and not children trying to become orphans. You can watch it all play out in the wonderfully whimsical world of The Willoughbys.

6. The Gentlemen
This one’s a right proper review, innit? This week we visit Guy Ritchie's latest British crime adventure starring Mathew McConaughey and half of Britain's working actors. Booze, bud, tailored suits, and firearms? What's not to love. So pour a pint and grab a bag of crisps for our latest edition of talking out of our bullocks. Sacré Bleu!

5. Parasite
Sit back, crack a soju and join us as we review Bong Joon Ho's Oscar winning film, Parasite. You know it's a winner if it gives a grown man nightmares and makes an ignorant American willing to read while they watch. This film is near perfection from start to finish much like this podcast. Sacré Bleu!

4. Onward
Onward we go to a magical land of elves, magic, quests, and Tom Holland. Pixar's latest follows two brother's (Spiderman and Chris Pratt) as they go on a journey to reconnect with their deceased father. Luke apparently only gets emotional while watching animated movies and Marguerite dons a tinfoil hat and delves into the Pixar Theory. Onward!
