Euphoria Season 1 (2019) TV Review

In this A24 vibe discussion, these film reviewers discuss what many critics are calling "the film of the decade" in One Battle After Another. Paul Thomas Anderson directed this Thomas Pynchon adaptation, while Leonardo Dicaprio, Teyana Taylor, Sean Penn, and Chase Infiniti star in it. It revolves around a revolutionary group named the French 75, and a love triangle that forms between two revolutionaries and an immigration detention center officer. On top of being a Best Picture favorite, One Battle After Another has garnered a lot of conversation around its portrayal of fascist America. Is it worth the hype?

In light of A24's latest release "The Smashing Machine" with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson: the A24 Rocks crew invites on fellow podcaster, sports fan, and film-buff Naaim Siddiqi to blind rank the top 16 sports films of all time. These movie-lovers randomly generate numbers 1-16, and whatever number a co-host ends up at, they must pick at that number. BUT each co-host has two vetoes and can force a ranker to pick a different film at the same number. Will personal biases show between these Midwest sports rivals in the heat of the baseball playoffs and in the middle of football season? Will they go for the happy-go-lucky kids films, underdog stories, or the more gritty and gripping sports tales? If you ain't first, you're last.

For the 90th film in the A24 chronology, the A24 Rocks crew discusses the Jersey Shore mystery-thriller Low Tide starring Keean Johnson and Jaeden Martell. Low Tide was distributed in a limited release and certainly didn't create much buzz back in 2019 and is not a film many remember, yet it holds a 72% Critic's Rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It's placed in the early 90s and follows a group of mischievous teen boys, but does it earn a comparison to Stand By Me? Listen to find out.

Before Everything Everywhere All At Once, and after Swiss Army Man and the "Turn Down for What" music video, Daniel Scheinert directed a commercially unsuccessful indie film called "The Death of Dick Long." It's about two friends who get into a heap of trouble horsing around in Alabama. They drop their curiously injured friend Dick Long off at the emergency room one night, and the suspense that ensues next leads the audience down a path they'll never forget (for better or for worse). Since 2019 and the success of Everything Everywhere All At Once, The Death of Dick Long has garnered somewhat of a cult following amongst A24 fans as a dark comedy with beautiful cinematography. How will the A24 rocks crew saddle up for this one?
