The One Where They Discuss Lav Diaz’s Magellan and F. Gary Gary’s The Italian Job

Had the Pope recently seen Lav Diaz’s latest picture before he formally blessed the art of slow cinema? What are EelPods? On a scale from one to ten, how homophobic was the real Ferdinand Magellan? How much misogyny can Charlize Theron overcome in order to successfully run her girlboss safe-cracking company? All these pressing questions (and more!) will be blasted wide open in this, another installment of the movies imo encore. What is movies imo? It’s a podcast. What’s a podcast? I don’t know! But this one is anchored by three gay guys who are known to most in the “podcasting space” as not merely being a little light in the loafers, but a little heavy on the crosstalk too. This week the crew (as in: Charlie Croker’s crew) break into the following topics:

Brandon: See, We ARE Doing New Releases: All of Us Enjoying Lav Diaz's Magellan (2025)

Daniel: Celebrating the D Line Extension with My Formative Metro Film Memory: F. Gary Gray's The Italian Job (2003)

Beyond the act of plunder, what are the through lines between these two disparate films… Well, they don’t really get into that. But they do have a laugh along the way and hope you do too. EelPods!
