Travis Bickle On The Riviera podcast

1:31:29

Celia and Tucker get together so Celia can hear Tucker's LUKEWARM PRAISE for the big movies and his BOUGHT THE HYPE hustle for the overrated indie picture. Can this submarine be brought to the surface? Is that a robot I see in my future? Breaking Bad: you missed an opportunity!

Matt Seneca, Celia Mattison & Tucker Stone catch up with The Great Silence, catch zero heat off of Darren Aronofsky, and talk about Charlie Dickens and The Triangle of Sadness. It's a movie cast, for the people, by some persons.

Celia and Tucker talk about Barbarian, The Fan (not the Tony Scott one, but the one that James Garner thought was the worst thing in his lengthy catalog of terrible things), and one of the worst movies that Celia has ever made it all the way through: Don't Worry Darling . They also trade secrets regarding their inexplicably personal feelings towards Kyle Reese. Movie time!…

This time around, Matt Seneca dug Tucker up out of a well, shocked him back to life, and asked him why, why oh why, hast thou never seen Bela Tarr's Damnation? To which Tucker replied that he had been busy watching Black Adam. "Buddy" said Matt, "You can do both." A podcast was born, and in the afterbirth of its labor, you'll also find a brief discussion of Stephen Spielberg.…

Celia's here, and she's been plugging away on the Festival circuit, like a movie robot, beep click and all that. But first we talk about The Northman (sort of!) and then we talk about Letterboxd (why not!) and then it's comic book time (yes ma'am!), before closing it out with Johnnie To's Throwdown.

Tucker is joined by Tessa Strain and Geoff Lapid to talk about Michael Bay's Ambulance, which may not have performed as well as some hoped at the box office, but performed extremely well in Tucker's heart--and that's the only metric that matters! We're also blessed with some hot takes on cold violence, with the Los Angeles duo explaining why, in fact, Tucker was right to stay home from the Northman and replay Conan in his minds eye instead.…

In this episode, Celia and Morgan valiantly attempt to keep the podcast on the rails, but Tucker has been isolating himself proving once again that outside of Soprano's, there no such thing as the Golden Age of Television. But when they do get him back to movies, there's only one movie allowed: THE BATMAN. Maxwell Wolkin and Tucker trade favorite moments--violence, green PCP, why youtube should be ignored--but eventually, yes, we do talk about another franchise: Spielbeg and his musical!

This time around, Morgan, Celia & Tucker are debating DUNE. A debate you say? Yes: a debate between the two sides of Morgan's brain--the side where he doesn't seem to like Dune (2021) and has a lot of reasons why, and the other side, where he keeps saying "no, I actually did like it!" Meanwhile, Celia admits that her neglect of the Synderverse may have resulted in a pent-up affection for Stern Faces, and Tucker conserves all his energy so that he can make the case for pee-pee, and make that case with all the passion and seriousness he can muster.…

There's also the return of Ridley, sloughing off that cemetery dirt and firing a shotgun into the ceiling: this ain't the first duel baby, it's The Last Duel. Do we talk about Lamb? Yeah, sure.

We brought in Travis Bickle's very own official James Bond expert to talk about the return (and immediate retirement) of Daniel Craig, in 2021's No Time To Die.

That turned out to be the case. But wait, there's more: John Q as well, a movie that dares to ask the question of whether James Woods can play someone who has a legitimate moral arc where the conclusion is that he can in fact be a good guy. Today, tonight, this morning: there's no time like the present to catch up on these, The Manchurian Candidate, Morgan's refusal to talk about Loki, and Tucker's undeniably obnoxious commitment to watching an MTV game show instead of the Criterion Channel.…
