MAESTRO, THE ZONE OF INTEREST and DUNE 2: Dr Hazelnut and the Banality of Evil

Cinema Bing Bong

Beware the Ides of March—awards season is over and no one in Australasia can agree on how to pronounce Dune. Amelia has become the nation's foremost Frank Herbert fanatic and can't stop filling her boots with geriatric spice. The only Sandra Hüller movie Rebecca saw in 2023 was the unpopular Sisi und Ich. This episode contains a dramatic reading of FRISCO, the script that might seem like it was plagiarised by The Holdovers to people who saw it between two plane seats after being awake for 36 hours. Amelia is inconsistently bothered by anachronisms but insists she's still fun. Rebecca wishes she could love everything especially unallocated seating. Javier Bardem doesn't know how to drive.
* Spoiler Alert * — Spoilers for the end of Love Lies Bleeding from 1:19:15 – 1:31:27

Note: If you are neurodivergent and can't watch a three-hour film with your feet on the floor, your posture is trash and your thumbs can touch your forearms, it's time to look into hypermobility spectrum disoders
Correction: It's Charlize Theron who's in Sweet November, not Meg Ryan, which is WORSE
