The Cook, the Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover (1989)
We Watch Food

Ep. 62
It's time to look at ugly things through a beautiful lens, which means it's time for 1989's The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover.
Sophie & Mitch talk about this grimy movie and what make it so intriguing to watch. We talk about the distance style creates between an audience and a piece of art. We discuss how presenting crass or vulgar content can serve a greater purpose. It's a loaded conversation for a dense film!

Time to dive into one of the few food-film-franchises, beginning with 2009's Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Sophie & Mitch talk about the insanity of both the protagonist and the concept of food falling from the sky. We also break down all the small details and character work going on in this film. Not only that, but we continue our meatball talk with a small report on the history of the form.

The God of Cookery (1996)
We Watch Food
07/27/19 • 56 min
Ep. 63
Continuing the summer movies with Stephen Chow's 1996 film The God of Cookery, and hoboy what a movie.
We try to discern the actual plot, make sense of the intense stylization, and figure out if Stephen Chow (the character) ever really learned the secret of cooking. We know he has magic food-related kung fu, and that's worth the watch alone, if you're looking for something wacky and more.
