Netflix’s The Crash is an Ethical Sinkhole | SVU Podcast Episode · Filmspotting · June 9 · 1h 30m

"You are better than this. By virtue of listening to this podcast, you have established yourself as an elite, an intellectual, a mindful person living the examined life. And this movie, The Crash, a directed Netflix true crime tabloid horror show, is beneath you." - Jordan Hoffman's fire intro to this week's Filmspotting: SVU review of Netflix's THE CRASH, which has been in the service's Top 10 since it was released in mid-May.

New SVU ep coming Tuesday the 9th.

Excited to drop our new podcast – Movie Death Match!

In anticipation of Disclosure Day, Spielberg’s two most beloved alien films face off in the inaugural episode. Host Chris Klimek adjudicates as Vulture's Jen Chaney argues for E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL and Dr. Margaret A. Weitekamp from the National Air and Space Museum makes the case for CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND.

Lord of the Flies: The BBC Brings Art to Netflix | SVU Filmspotting · Episode

Filmspotting: SVU! In your Filmspotting Feed every Tuesday.

This week, Matt and Jordan see if Netflix’s massive rom-com hit People We Meet on Vacation lives up to its 50-million-stream hype. Also, Jordan recommends an under-seen 2023 indie mafia drama and Matt invites us to fall in love with a 1963 French New Wave short. Plus, a pair of listener requested recommendations inspired by 1975's The Taking of Pelham One Two Three. And Producer Sam challenges Jordan’s 3-0 winning streak in a high-stakes game of "Full Service." Fun show!

Just recorded another super fun episode of SVU - People We Meet on Vacation plus streaming recs and maybe my favorite game yet. Also Jordan told a story about the original Super Mario Bros that I will never forget. A true classic.

Top 5 Meryl Streep Scenes coming on Friday. What is your single favorite Streep performance?

(And why is this so hard? Is it because her best lead performances are in things that don't get a lot of rewatches? And/or that her most memorable performances are as part of ensembles? That is, fave streep performance probably isn't the same as fave streep movie? Discuss.)
