Phantom Thread (2017)

Mushroom omelette, anyone?

The title may deceive you--there are no phantoms in this movie. Just a very ornery dressmaker. Join Nick and Brennan as they discuss Paul Thomas Anderson’s haute couture character study Phantom Thread, a film that makes the Spineless Boys pose questions such as: Do Vicky Krieps and Daniel Day-Lewis be f***ing? Is this film secretly about Alfred Hitchcock? And, most importantly, what do Reddit incels think about all this? The only thing Nick and Brennan can agree for sure on is Harriet Samson Harris Oscar yesterday, please.

FOR THE HUNGRY BOY

Melancholy (that's right we brought it up again)

The Criterion Collection is an ever-growing roster of movies deemed internationally significant on an artistic level. Each new film added to the collection is given a Spine Number, making any film NOT in the collection: SPINELESS. Join Nick and Brennan (your very-favorite SPINELESS BOYS) as they cover the classic and contemporary films they feel are most deserving of the Criterion treatment.
