Hi, I’m Megan Braun. I’m the host of the synagogue podcast. Intermission, Cinema Paradiso, Fargo. Donnie Darko has been my movie forever, and I’m gonna end it with Sexy Beast. So make of that what you will. Hi, I’m Olivia. I’m one of the producers from the intermission podcast by the synagogue, Delma and Louise, before sunrise, Jennifer’s body, if you know, you know, and lost in translation. Hello, my name is Manny Leota. Slash movies with Manny. My letterbox handle is Manny Leota. Shout out you guys being the greatest people of all time, I’ll tell you that till the day I, I. I have seen The Virgin Suicides about 18 times. I have to say, it’s just the greatest soundtrack movie ever made. Sophia Coppola is a real one, as we all know. I’ve been directing a musical. Golden Age musical. So The Red Shoes has just been there 24 7, 3 65 in my head. Greatest Technicolor movie ever made. Eight and a/2. Slash Julia of the spirits, slash Knights of Gabiria. There’s just no way to choose between those three. Fellini. I’m Italian. It needs to happen. And then let’s go with this amazing movie that just came out in Criterion Collection called I am Cuba. It’s the greatest shot movie ever made, I promise you. My name is Raj Jawa. My handle is also Raj Jawa. I tend to keep things simple that way. Love Liza. I’d love Phillip Seymour Hoffman, so that’s always a great reason. To. To enjoy it. And it’s also actually written by his brother, which I found was very interesting as well. Koyaanisqatsi. I mean, the title says it all. It. Life is out of balance in the Hopi language. Visionaries, uh, in similar vein is the anti corporate movie that I really enjoy. You know, you have Office Space. Um, but I think visionaries goes a little further, making it about the. The soullessness and the selling out of the corporation that is kind of expected out of us. In the most heightened examples of, I don’t know, this kind of capitalist take over we have in where everything is. Is commodified, you know, like, there’s not one thing that is. Is, um, is just enjoyed simply for the art’s sake. And finally, collateral, which is kind of my more mainstream pick, but I think that is the really a love letter to Los Angeles. We have very interesting Tom Cruise in a role that he doesn’t typically do, you know, as a villain. Hi, letterbox. I’m Verona, and my username is Maxine Minx. My friends and I always joke that I have the most lesbian top 4 of all time, starting with bound from 1996, which I believe is the perfect movie. It’s the best movie ever made. It has literally everything you could ever ask for. It’s so suspenseful. It has graphic lesbian sex. We love it. It’s a perfect movie. And my second one is a favorite from childhood. I Think it’s what shaped me and who I am today. It’s now and then from 1995. It was one of the only movies I was allowed to watch at my grandmother’s house. And so when I was a kid, I was just popping that VHS in over and over and over again, and it really laid the foundation for, like, who I am today and, like, how special female friendships are to me. My third favorite is very ironic because they’re showing it at videos tonight. It’s Josie and the Pussycats, 2001. I think it is a camp classic. Peak cinema when it comes to Camp. Alan coming, Parker Posey. Why aren’t we casting them as a duo in things anymore? We need that. All of these are very formative to me, but I feel like this might be the most formative was Jennifer’s Body from 2009. It really shaped me, as all of these movies did, but that one really helped me come to terms with being lesbian when I was very young and too young to be watching that trailer upstairs in my room alone. And I got to tell Diablo Cody how much that movie meant to me, which is so special. And, yeah, that’s my top four.
