HenryHOST
like you don't classic
SamuelHOST
classic move for this whole filmography kelly really loves doing this yes
HenryHOST
like the mom i don't think you even realize is her mom until like the second
SamuelHOST
conversation they have the vibes are so off in the first you know something's up but it's not explicit until i think there's a moment when lizzie just says dad and you're like oh okay you wouldn't say that
13 MINS LATER
HenryHOST
Animals tie these things together.
SamuelHOST
Yeah.
HenryHOST
You know what, though? She's also building an incredible animal kingdom through her filmography.
HenryHOST
This movie has cats and birds.
James ClementHOST
That's a good movie.
Nick MasonHOST
The Mastermind, yeah.
James ClementHOST
Mm-hmm.
Nick MasonHOST
That's a good one.
HenryHOST
I felt like this was kinda the biggest test in some ways in terms of, like, that slowness and that slow pacing, just 'cause this is, I'm pretty sure, the first one of her movies that's over two hours.
HenryHOST
And it might even be the only one actually, 'cause I feel like Showing Up and Mastermind are not terribly long.
SamuelHOST
Not at that run time.
HenryHOST
Yeah, they're both sub two hours.
25 MINS LATER
HenryHOST
A24 is distributing it.
SamuelHOST
Yep.
HenryHOST
That's a big deal, right? I think this is the only m- maybe they also do Showing Up next, but I don't think they distributed The Mastermind.
HenryHOST
It's interesting sometimes the way A24 will kind of, like, snatch up certain filmmakers.
RebeccaGUEST
But yeah, I think people, once they meet them, they fall in love with them.

Jan WallsCORRESPONDENT
As well as the fairly local streets, as you say, there are lots of footpaths once you get away from the main dog walking area.
ScarHOST
Before Walk This Way, or was it Before I Have to Walk This Way? But, yeah,
RoshaniHOST
The Mastermind.
RoshaniHOST
Same time, same time.
RoshaniHOST
Yeah.
Ben CahnHOST
So yeah, why this one?
Shane McAvoyGUEST
Well, a lot of the movies you guys have been showing, Ben, like Crash or The Mastermind.
Shane McAvoyGUEST
I don't know if there's any others that...
Dillon MooreHOST
Both Steve picks, by the way.
ScarHOST
Before Walk This Way, or was it Before I Have to Walk This Way? But, yeah,
RashaniHOST
The Mastermind.
RashaniHOST
Same time, same time.
RashaniHOST
Yeah.
SamuelHOST
But this is like, I gotta be honest spoilers for the end of the series when we'll do our rankings I am in like linear time order with one movie flipped like this just keeps being like actually I like this movie better than all the last ones every time
HenryHOST
I do not expect that trend to hold but well damn but I mean I mean it could for some of them I think if I had to guess You will really like The Mastermind, which is her latest movie, and you will be more mixed on First Cow and Showing Up.
HenryHOST
I think Showing Up is so slight that you are going to have that one pretty low.
HenryHOST
But the reason I say that about, like, you know, she made a bad movie is, like, if you go on Letterboxd, other than River of Grass, this is her least logged movie.
1 HR 25 MINS LATER
HenryHOST
It's just, I don't think any of them have a similar feel to this movie.
HenryHOST
Fair.
HenryHOST
Like, there are thrillery elements to the Mastermind, but it's not the same tone.
SamuelHOST
Sure.
Lucien WandailyHOST
And I think she has proven in recent months to be a major value add when she pops up and stuff.
Lucien WandailyHOST
in two films in particular which were the drama and the mastermind uh which were uh three star movies that i think became three and a half star because of alana heim being in them yeah like i think she's so so good in both of those films as in respectively the friend who gets really pissed off at the school shooting thing and the kind of long-suffering wife to josh o'connor but But then, obviously, that's not to mention her terrific performance in Paul Thomas Anderson's Licorice Pizza, which I think her and Cooper Hoffman are both fucking incredible in and were rudely snubbed for Oscar nominations for a film that otherwise got loads of Oscar nominations.
Lucien WandailyHOST
And I think she's amazing in that.
Lucien WandailyHOST
She does a really good job of playing on her vague age.
John GholsonGUEST
... a series of novels, so maybe there are people that are familiar with the character from the novels that would be interested in these.
Chris CoxHOST
But staying with crime films, we have a newer film by director, uh, Kelly Reichardt called The Mastermind.
Chris CoxHOST
And, uh, I, I admit I was [sighs] I was curious about this film only because people kept telling me, 'cause they know I don't like Kelly Reichardt films.
John GholsonGUEST
I tend to...
Chris CoxHOST
Uh, I'm just like, get s- take some... [laughs] Like I wanna like, please, take some anti-depression meds.
Chris CoxHOST
Uh, [laughs] I, I, I not, didn't like any of them.
Chris CoxHOST
Uh, and everyone kept telling me, "No, The Mastermind is gonna be the one that turns you around on, on her." Uh, I liked it better than the other ones.
Chris CoxHOST
I would not say it has turned me around on Kelly Reichardt.
