By the Sea

Do you remember when Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt spent their honeymoon making a movie about the disintegration of a married couple on the island of Malta? According to the movies box office and 35% score on Rotten Tomatoes, you probably don't. But in 2015, the couple formerly known as Brangelina quietly released the slow burn marital drama "By the Sea."

Dismissed by critics as an indulgent vanity project for the most beautiful celebrity couple alive, "By the Sea" has drifted into obscurity over the years, but has always kicked around in the back of your beloved hosts minds. Moving at an often catatonic pace with a whispery Angelina Jolie performance that mostly consists of her doing her make-up and lounging morosely in her gorgeous seaside villa, the film is hardly without its flaws, but there's a lingering sensation to its opaque meta-romance that's impossible to deny.

So join us for a trip down tabloid memory lane for the couple's last hurrah, as well as a rundown of the podcast's most obscure movies according to Letterboxd, as well as another special podcast shout-out to the 1999 air traffic control romance, "Pushing Tin."
