Four Favorites with Patrick Willems: Wes Anderson, Evil Dead and a Fast shock

Video essayist and popular Letterboxd member Patrick H. Willems joins hosts Gemma and Slim to “Patrick Explains” his four Letterboxd favorites: Kiki’s Delivery Service, The Matrix, Evil Dead II, and Rushmore, and talk about why he devotes his time to demystifying the art of filmmaking, why he relates to a depressed thirteen-year-old witch, the life-changing energy of The Matrix, Sam Raimi’s extraordinary output, Bruce Campbell’s jaw-dropping jawline, and precocious Wes Anderson characters.

Plus: Patrick fills us in on his accidental feature film and his Can’t Get Enough of Keanu Podcast, we get his shocked live reaction to the Fast X director news as it happens, and quickly recover with some deep dives into Josh Hartnett’s best work. Patrick has a bone to pick with High Fidelity, and Slim promises to finally watch the best action scene ever made—the train chase in The Wrong Trousers.

Lists mentioned:
Warm Hug Cinematic Universe; Movies where a person who isn’t a love interest enters someone’s life and makes it better; Sad Bastard and Loser Cinema; movies where the Romantic Moment™ features profound chasteness instead of making out
