Tue, 26 Mar 2019 - 42min - 7 - Climax & Krisha
THIS WEEK we're talking about two movies that take on situations you might actually find yourself in in real life and makes them frankly terrifying. Climax (2018) finds you locked in a warehouse party after taking too many drugs; Krisha (2015) is about going to a family party where you feel on the outs. And they're both genuinely scary!!

Mon, 11 Mar 2019 - 37min - 5 - Never Look Away & Killer Joe
This week, we're talking about two movies from cinematographer Caleb "Zooey's Dad" Deschanel: Never Look Away (2018) and Killer Joe (2011). One's a high point of the McConaissance, the other's a just-fine three hour German melodrama that was somehow nominated for three Oscars this year. SPEAKING OF OSCARS, we also talk about the one time Deschanel got an Oscar nom for Fly Away Home, the movie where Jeff Daniels and Anna Paquin teach a goose how to fly.

Sun, 03 Mar 2019 - 44min - 4 - Episode 4: OSCARS + Columbus & The World Is Yours
In this episode, Chris and Caleb talk all about the Oscars, though it's a little confusing because they recorded it before they actually aired, though it's coming out after! Extremely timey-wimey stuff. Also, this week they look at two movies you can stream now: Columbus (2017) and The World is Yours (2018). One is a talky look at discovering yourself through architecture, and the other is a supposedly good French gangster comedy. But which is actually best choice? Find out!
Mon, 25 Feb 2019 - 48min - 3 - Episode 3: Oscar faves: The Favourite & Can You Ever Forgive Me
The Oscars are this weekend, which is frankly wild. It's been the craziest Oscar season since everyone had a collective delusion that Crash was a good movie, so instead of making predictions exactly Caleb & Chris talk about their favorite movies nominated this year: The Favourite and Can You Ever Forgive Me. Also the animated shorts! Also Caleb talks about his big crush on Lucas Hedges! Title music is Life Story by Kevin Hairs. Learn more here: https://kevinhairs.bandcamp.com/releases
Mon, 18 Feb 2019 - 46min - 2 - Episode 2: We got that Fyre
This week on Actually Best Choice Movies, Chris and Caleb talk about dueling documentaries released just days apart on the Fyre Festival from competing streaming services Netflix and Hulu. We all know Fyre was a hilariously outlandish scam -- but how are the movies? What's most important in a documentary, emotion, character, presentation of information, or the moral/immoral actions of the filmmakers? Which of these two films on exactly the same topic, released at the same time, is Armageddon, and which is Deep Impact? Title music is Life Story by Kevin Hairs.

Mon, 11 Feb 2019 - 43min - 1 - Actually Best Choice Movies: Roma and Cold War
In this episode, it's Amazon vs. Netflix, Mexico vs. Poland, and dog poop vs folk dancing. Chris and Caleb talk about Roma and Cold War, two moody black and white films both nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the 2019 Academy Awards. Can Caleb understand Donald Duck? Which Oscar is about the part of filmmaking that "helps you digest lumpy movies" (a totally gross thing Caleb says), and are Polish folk songs actually dope? All this and more revealed on this episode of Actually Best Choice Movies! Title music is Life Story by Kevin Hairs. Learn more here: https://kevinhairs.bandcamp.com/releases
