Hot takes incoming! David and Devin begin this month’s discussion with John Carpenter’s Stephen King adaptation CHRISTINE (1983). Classic nerd Arnie Cunningham has a killer new car - emphasis on “killer.” But when the self-driving self-healing automobile goes on a murderous rampage, and Arnie changes into a real jerk, are we sure it’s all Christine’s responsibility? Or has our geeky hero been hiding a darkness, a darkness which he is now embracing as he reaches maturity?
Then, we’ll switch gears and decades to Lynn Ramsay’s disturbing psychological character study WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN (2011), starring Tilda Swinton and John C. Reilly. Eva has raised a monster: her teenage son Kevin has murdered his classmates with a bow and arrow, and in the aftermath she recollects on his childhood. Was he always like this, or did she fail him as a mother? What motivated Kevin to shoot up his school? Can we even know?
