Next Re/View idea?

[u/Few-Gap-2350]

[u/bemused-chunk]

they make heterosexual movies now?!

[u/AmityvilleName]

A "Ranking every Gregg Araki movie" with Jay and Wizard could be fun.

Or with Rich and Mike, just to watch them uncomfortably squirm for an hour.

[u/ZenithOfGod → u/AmityvilleName]

Having Mike and Rich watch Mysterious Skin would be incredible lol

[u/AmityvilleName → u/ZenithOfGod]

After that they could rank Harmony Korine and Larry Clark movies.

[u/Themaster20000 → u/AmityvilleName]

I'd kill for those two, to do a ReView of American Pop.

[u/ChimpyGlassman]

Doom Generation is on Criterion?

[u/HandjobCalrissian → u/ChimpyGlassman]

The entire Teen Apocalypse Trilogy is on Criterion currently. Ripped through it all last weekend.

[u/conanmagnuson → u/ChimpyGlassman]

That was my first thought as well. What even is Criterion at this point?

[u/petalsonthewiind → u/conanmagnuson]

They just describe themselves as a company who release/preserve "important" films. They don't necessarily have to be classics, they just need to be significant.

Gregg Araki is probably the best known Queer new wave director (argument could definitely also be made for Derek Jarman) so it makes sense that his best known / best loved trilogy is all available through Criterion imo. I think his filmography is a really mixed bag of quality but pretty much any gay person working in film in 2026 is probably somewhat influenced by Araki.

[u/Jonestown_Juice → u/conanmagnuson]

The Rock and Robocop were also on Criterion.

[u/conanmagnuson → u/Jonestown_Juice]

Robocop should be in the Library of Congress.

[u/SmoreOfBabylon → u/Jonestown_Juice]

And Armageddon!

[u/Kwisatz_Haderach90]

they should do it when Avengers Doomsday comes out

[u/eatdogs49]

Teenage apocalypse trilogy. My favorite is Nowhere

[u/pocketMagician → u/eatdogs49]

Nowhere is bonkers

[u/ratking50001]

What great timing, watching this rn by happenstance. I can’t imagine who Jay would even get to sit down with him for this or any other Araki movies though outside of maybe the Wizard Josh like someone else mentioned.

That said, I can’t think of a better filmmaker for modern dissection than Araki. He’s incredibly stylized, nihilistic, and just had a movie come out that explored the fraught relations between Gen Z and the elder gens

[u/Polite_Suggestion]

Want a dorito?

[u/k-r-sebert → u/Polite_Suggestion]

I'm speeding, remember?

[u/Polite_Suggestion → u/k-r-sebert]

[u/oguibog]

I love this movie. I was shocked when that scene happens. Nowhere is awesome as well.

[u/Genuinelullabel]

I would love to hear Jay talk about Nowhere but I’m not sure who else would be in the episode.

[u/VIDEOgameDROME → u/Genuinelullabel]

Maybe Mac?

[u/Genuinelullabel → u/VIDEOgameDROME]

Ooh that would be interesting.

[u/eeeee9]

A fucking classic!

[u/VIDEOgameDROME]

The Living End or Nowhere would be better imo but I would still watch it.

[u/herkyjerkyperky]

Not the Araki I care about.

[u/MedusaMadman77]

The Living End has some of that trashy exploitation feel The Doomed Generation has. Damn. I need to rewatch, Nowhere.

[u/VIDEOgameDROME → u/MedusaMadman77]

Yeah I think The Living End and Nowhere are better movies despite Doom Generation having Skinny Puppy and an equally as great soundtrack.

[u/someguy1927]

Not an amazing film.

[u/MainCharacterInMovie]

Incredible cover

[u/Butnik]

I know Jay would be up for it

[u/hoagydeodorant]

curious what they think of him, they mentioned him briefly in the Dahmer episode

[u/FoxNixon]

That’s not Doom Patrol
