Episode 74: "Live-Action Charlie Brown" - Hot Take Roundup / Your Name 10th Anniversary / Coyote vs. Acme

<p>The Brendans welcome back Devindra Hardawar of the FilmCast to close out a hot summer with some hotter movie takes. Are <em>Blade Runner</em> and <em>Interstellar</em> really that good? Is <em>Troy</em> actually bad? We hash it out along with thoughts on <em>Tony</em> and <em>The End of Oak Street</em> as well as a celebration of Makoto Shinkai&#39;s masterpiece <em>Your Name</em> at 10 years before we end on an early look at the miraculously rescued <em>Coyote vs. Acme</em>. </p><p>Devindra&#39;s work can all be found at <a href="https://devindraorg.wordpress.com/">⁠his website⁠</a>, on <a href="https://audioboom.com/channels/4997224-the-filmcast">⁠The Filmcast⁠</a> and at <a href="https://www.engadget.com/about/editors/devindra-hardawar/">⁠Endgadget⁠</a>, and on <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/devindra.bsky.social">⁠Bluesky⁠</a>.</p><p>Our Opening/Closing Music is from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): &quot;Skies of Hope&quot; by RA</p><p>https://uppbeat.io/t/ra/skies-of-hope</p><p>You can follow Foley on <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/thetruebrendanf.bsky.social">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> and/or read his work on <a href="https://cinapse.co/author/brendanfoley/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cinapse⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> (like<a href="https://cinapse.net/2026/08/lets-talk-about-sadie-sink-in-spider-man-brand-new-day/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"> his piece on Sadie Sink&#39;s role in <em>Spider-Man: Brand New Day</em></a>) and you can follow Agnew on <a href="https://letterboxd.com/blcagnew/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Letterboxd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>, <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/blcagnew.bsky.social">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>, writing at <a href="https://cinapse.net/author/brendanagnew/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cinapse⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ occasionally (like <a href="https://cinapse.net/2026/08/practical-magic-4k-review-the-cult-romantic-fantasy-flies-to-uhd/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">his review of the new 4K release of <em>Practical Magic</em></a>), and wherever you can bloody well find him.</p>
