Reminder: Most of The Grand Budapest Hotel is a story-within-a-story-within-a-story-within-a-story. Zubrowka doesn't even come up until we're a full three layers deep, and none of those layers match one another.

And written by James Gray!

Perry's actually pretty good in The Single Moms Club. No joke.

Late-period Godard. 3D. Whaddaya need, a road map?

Not your fault. Long story short: Director and distributor fought over the cut, movie was withheld from release and then buried. (Ditto Snowpiercer. Same distributor, too.) Definitely something that should be seen on the big screen, but it's on Netflix.

A 2015 release.

Actually on tomorrow's Best Of list. No joke.

I've met Jesse exactly once, and our conversation consisted of me saying "Hi, sorry I have this deadline" and him saying "Wow, you're way taller than I expected." He lives in Brooklyn.

His real name, actually. Michael Edward Lonsdale-Crouch –– about as English as it gets. Perfectly bilingual, though.

Nope, it's supposed to be Carnegie Hall. However, most of Whiplash was shot in California for budgetary reasons, and the theater they used for the interior looks like Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Center.

Pompeii is a totally fine movie.

Zemlya is Russian for "land." In Pope's time, it was transliterated into English as Zembla. (Novaya Zemlya, which @avclub-e0b2ce3685c37ff452b211bd8b6b1b5c:disqus mentions, just means "New Land.")

On an average week, two-thirds of the movies we review are limited releases of one sort or another––documentaries, low-budget indies, subtitled imports. A lot of those don't opt for a rating; when you're distributing a 4 1/2 hour Japanese production, you can be pretty sure your audience is gonna consist entirely of…

Hulu Plus has Cure, which is the best place to start.

I cover movies, Erik covers TV. Erik was out for this week's column, hence no TV.

They refer to the out-dated textbooks as "federal," which implies that they no longer have a federal government. And though they never say who's funding the now-underground NASA, the suggestion is that all other national agencies have ceased to exist along with it.

I actually considered both Killer Of Sheep and The Exiles, but decided to save them for future Watch This theme weeks.

Nope.

And Greene edited Listen Up Philip! But, seriously, Fake It So Real is tops.

In the film, she reveals that, because production got pushed back, she was very visibly pregnant by the time they shot Season 4, which limited what she could do. Pretty much every scene, they had to hide her mid-section; that's why, in her final scene, she's awkwardly holding a coat in front of herself.
