88Nine: Cinebuds: Recent Episodes
88Nine Radio Milwaukee
Every Wednesday, 88Nine’s Justin Barney and Milwaukee Film’s Kristopher Pollard discuss Milwaukee’s film scene – new releases coming to the city, local filmmakers, our historic theaters and more.
Adapting a beloved Brodway musical is a road fraught with danger. Just ask Dear Evan Hansen. From box-office receipts alone (more than a half-billion dollars worldwide as of this writing), we know Wicked managed to avoid any sleep-inducing poppies and flying monkeys waiting for it on the path to success. But movie executives and movie audiences have very different definitions of “good,” and we only care about the second one.
Dori and Kpolly went into Wicked with fond memories of the classic Judy Garland film, and yet carried a healthy amount of excitement into the theater rather than skepticism. For the most part, that faith was rewarded by a film that managed to balance its two assignments: entertain the audience and set the table for part two.
You’ll hear all the details about their theater-going adventures (one involved an intrusive singalong, one did not) and their in-depth feelings about Wicked in the full episode.
Even before the casting was announced, we knew the success or failure of this film would hinge on the performance of the actor at its center. Ultimately, that task fell on the physically slight but thespian-ly broad shoulders of Chalamet, who in the past few years has established himself as one of the more reliably solid actors in Hollywood.
From a breakout performance in Call Me by Your Name to the excellent Dune movies to the adequate Wonka, Chalamet consistently rises to meet the challenge in front of him.
While vastly different films, Dune and A Complete Unknown presented a similar task: Fully embody a character with a rabid fan base ready to tear you apart if you set a foot wrong. As a result, Chalamet finds himself at the center of the critical discussion around the Bob Dylan biopic — as well as the discussion you’ll hear in this episode.
The movie doesn’t come out until Christmas Day, but Dori and Kpolly managed to secure one seat at an advanced screening and — in the spirit of the season — gifted it to someone perfectly suited to cast a critical eye (and ear) toward the screen.
Sam Taffel, in addition to earning a master’s degree in film, is a huge Dylan fan from a family of Dylan fans who grew up in New York City, the setting for most of A Complete Unknown. You’ll hear him lay out his bona fides at the top of the podcast before he launches into his well-informed review of director James Mangold’s film.
Traditions make the holiday season what it is. Chestnuts roasting on an open fire. A treasured decoration hanging in a place of honor on the tree. The annual viewing of Stanley Kubrick’s psycho-sexual thriller Eyes Wide Shut.
Maybe you don't venture outside the lines quite that much, but Milwaukee Film's "Season's Screenings" holiday series sure does. In honor of the adventurous range of selections being shown at the Oriental Theatre through Jan. 1, Dori and Kpolly have a spirited conversation about what we watch around this time of year, roast a few and unwrap the ones they might not be quite as familiar with (perhaps Tangerine or Tokyo Godfathers).
To see the full lineup of films, along with links to purchase tickets, go to our story on the Radio Milwaukee website.
Our two very definitely not old hosts welcome another very definitely not old guest and first-time Cinebuds visitor: Molly Snyder from OnMilwaukee!!! The young-at-heart trio talk about the newest gem in Aubrey Plaza's acting crown, My Old Ass.
In the new movie, an 18th-birthday mushroom trip brings Elliott face-to-face with her wisecracking 39-year-old self. When the older Elliott starts handing out warnings about what her younger self should and shouldn't do, she realizes she has to rethink everything about family, love and what's becoming a transformative summer.
Hear what Dori, Kpolly and Molly thought about this time-trippy and other-trippy film, and whether they learned a thing or two along the way.
Movie studio A24 gets a lot of credit for injecting new life into the horror genre. Talk to Me, Midsommar, The Witch, Hereditary — whoever’s making the decisions over there seems to have their finger firmly on the pulse of what notoriously passionate (and opinionated) fans of the genre are looking for.
Most recently, their loving gaze has fallen on Heretic and the familiar face of Hugh Grant playing a role that would’ve been deeply unfamiliar earlier in his career: unhinged psychopath.
Grant brings his unique mix of charm and smarm and menace to the new movie, which shares that complexity by throwing philosophical ingredients into its mix of horror and psychological thriller. In other words, it does what A24 movies have been doing for the last decade or so. But does it connect with everyone?
Our focus group of two shares their surprisingly divergent thoughts on this episode of Cinebuds.
When the worlds of music and movies intersect, we tend to think about concert films — gigantic spectacles glamorizing the wonderful side of fame, like Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé or Olivia Rodrigo: GUTS World Tour.
On some level, we know that we don’t really know these artists. Yet it’s still jarring every time we get a glimpse at their actual lives, especially when we discover that these larger-than-life individuals often have problems to match.
They don’t come much bigger than what indie-pop duo Tegan and Sara endured in secret for years while playing some of the biggest stages on the planet. They shared their story with the recent release of Fanatical: The Catfishing of Tegan and Sara — an eye-opening documentary now available on Hulu.
Dori and Kpolly provide the two perspectives most people will bring to this film: Tegan and Film superfan (Dori) or total newbie (Kpolly). Fanatical is pretty much guaranteed to connect with the first audience, but what about the second group? The conversation between our cinematic duo answers that question and might just nudge you toward Hulu for a home viewing (and spook you away from social media for a little while).
Forget the chicken and the egg. Nevermind the sound of one hand clapping. Let's answer something truly difficult:
What's your favorite Keanu Reeves movies?
That’s what Dori and Kpolly bravely take on in this episode of Cinebuds, which takes inspiration from the Keanuthon currently underway at the Oriental Theatre.
As you follow along with our duo’s typically high-minded conversation, ponder your own preference when it comes to the filmography of Keanu Reeves. Do you go for the clueless comedic version in the Bill & Ted series? The “in over his head” action star of Point Break and The Matrix? The “man of few words but many guns” from the John Wick series?
Dori and Kpolly run through all the Keanus in this episode and hopefully discuss why Milwaukee Film didn’t include his best role — Duke Caboom in Toy Story 4 — in the Keanuthon that runs through the end of the month.
Dori Zori & Kristopher Pollard interview comedian Eugene Mirman (voice of Gene in Bob's Burgers) and discuss what they've been watching lately.
Dori Zori from 88Nine recently spoke with Micki Seinfeld, Director of Special Events, and Julie Lookatch, Marketing Director, to highlight must-see films at the 27th Annual Milwaukee Jewish Film Festival. The festival will take place from October 27th to 31st. For more information, visit the event website here.
First rule of bite club is to talk about it as much as you can. They talk about the Oriental Theater's upcoming "Bite Club," an exploration of vampire movies of all blood types; from funny to scary they break down their favorites.

Beetlejuice is back baby! Dori and K-Polly give it the old Cinebuds back rub. The 2024 version is gonna be playing for a bit at the historic Oriental Theater, and the way our cinematic duo tell it, you'll probs want to go see it. They reminisce over the original 1988 film and its more recent tranformation; role reprises, career arcs and even the dope new soundtrack. Plus, they talk about a couple of other films they've been viewing, like The Fall Guy and the documentary Lover of Men.

A 93 on Imdb, Sing Sing is a movie about a man falsely accused and Dori and Kristopher have some thoughts. Sounds serious but, in truth, a comedy of sorts.
Divine G (Colman Domingo), imprisoned at Sing Sing for a crime he didn’t commit, finds purpose by acting in a theatre group with other incarcerated men. When a wary outsider joins the group, the men decide to stage their first original comedy, in this stirring true story of resilience, humanity, and the transformative power of art, starring an unforgettable ensemble cast of formerly incarcerated actors.

Even if you really love movies, you likely have at least one genre that’s sectioned off with caution tape. For Dori, it’s romance. So when Kpolly approached her with an unapologetically romantic selection for this episode, her instinct was to turn tail and head the other way. Then he said the magic words:
“It’s Icelandic.”
OK, not the most traditional of magic words. But it was at least enough to pique Dori’s interest and get her eyeballs on the film at the center of their conversation: Touch.
This story from household name Baltasar Kormákur is miles away from the rom-coms that have very nearly ruined romances for Dori. It’s a decade-spanning journey one man takes to track down his first love, and of course there are very dramatic stakes involved. There are also not one but THREE languages featured in the film, which allowed our Cinebuds to check off the rare “trilingual Icelandic romance” off their genre bucket list.
So did Touch completely restore Dori’s belief in love (or movies about love anyway)? Or was it an obvious attempt to get her to cry in public?

Kristopher Pollard and Dori Zori are joined by Radio Milwaukee's Jen Ellis as they talk about the new biker flick The Bikeriders. Over the course of a decade, a Midwestern motorcycle club evolves from a gathering place for local outsiders to a sinister gang, threatening the original group's way of life. Tom Hardy, Austin Butler and Jodie Comer lead a strong cast capturing an era of motorcyle clubs transitiononing into gangs and the consequences that become inevitable and deadly. They also dive into Chicagoland accents and vintage bikes and style.

Unlikely revenge thriller Thelma goes through the Cinebuds rinse. Thelma follows the titular nonagenarian lead as she gets scammed and gets revenge in a film that is part comedic and part Mission Impossible in all the best ways.

Dori & Kristopher celebrate Pride Month by delving into the interesting revenge film Femme; a film that explores many themes. In addition to being a fascinating take on the revenge film theme, Femme is a film that keeps you guessing, all while being about redemption, self acceptance and taking back your strength. A film that may be triggering for some whose overall arc is very powerful.

The comedy subgenre of “oh crap I’m pregnant and not ready to have a baby” is fertile ground. Pun intended. Recent years have brought us the likes of Juno, Knocked Up and Waitress, and to that list we add the focus of this episode: Babes.
It should first be noted that the comedy chops behind this recent release are strong. Ilana Glazer penned the script along with Broad City alum Josh Rabinowitz, Pamela Adlon handled directing duties, and Glazer stars with the similarly wonderful Michelle Buteau. Of course, great talent does not guarantee good results. And R-rated comedy is a tricky area to navigate. So how does this one fare?
Obviously, we’d like you to listen to the full podcast to find out. But we can say, like Glazer’s character in Babes, initial results are positive.

We’re down a Cinebud this week, but worry not because we called in a couple of Jokers to compensate.
To be more accurate, our very special guests joining us on this episode are two of the people who worked on viral and cinematic sensation The People’s Joker: composers Justin Krol and Quinn Scharber. The Milwaukee-based duo are the driving force behind the film’s score and thus have enjoyed a front-row seat to its tumultuous and controversial existence.
We won’t get too into the legal weeds here, but to summarize: The People’s Joker debuted at the Toronto Film Festival back in 2022, was shelved under the threat of legal action from Warner Bros., snuck in a secret midnight screening at the Milwaukee Film Festival in 2023 and then finally began its proper theatrical run last month.
With Kpolly on the sidelines for this one, Dori uses her finely honed interviewing skills to get Krol and Scharber chatting about their early days as Milwaukee musicians, their connection to the movie’s star/creative force Vera Drew, and the chutzpah required to get into this very competitive field.

Did you know that over the course of its two weeks, this year’s Milwaukee Film Festival will have screened 131 features and 169 shorts? For the math heads out there, that’s a whopping 300 titles filling the 2024 event’s program. Even for a cinephile with unlimited time and energy reserves, seeing every single one isn’t an option. That’s why we’re here.
"We" is, of course, Kpolly and Dori — AND returning for yet another Milwaukee Filmtastic episode is the organization’s programing director, Kerstin Larson. If you missed our last installment, Kerstin joined our ’Buds to provide the kind of recommendations you might expect from the person responsible for picking the films that show up in the fest.
But that was just week one. We have a whole second week to tackle, and you can hear the trio’s must-see movies in this episode.

From Academy Award®-nominated directing duo Ben Proudfoot and Kris Bowers, The Last Repair Shop grants an all access pass to the nondescript downtown warehouse where a dwindling handful of devoted craftspeople keep over 80,000 student instruments in good repair."

We didn't love "Mr. Harrigan's Phone," a new teen suspense film based on the Stephen King novel.

Dori and KPolly talk it out, plus they share what else they're watching.
Dori and KPolly are all in on "Tár," from the well-crafted and musically-driven screenplay, to Cate Blanchett's stunning transformation as Lydia Tár, a troubled and renowned musician on her fall from EGOT grace.

On this episode, host Dori Zori is joined by local artist dwellephant and 88Nine Music Director Erin Wolf, who each loved the film for different reasons.
Disney's new live action and animation hybrid 'Pinocchio' certainly brings the sweet, but is it too sweet? For young kids, probably not, but for our full adult Cinebuds it was a bit much at times.
