Ranking director roomates

This week we're quarantined, so we're breaking from the usual formula. Brian De Palma, Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, Francis Ford Coppola, and George Lucas were all roommates. We rank them based off of their top five, along with other nonsense.

The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension vs Italian Spiderman

An adventurer/neurosurgeon/rock star finds out that aliens have infiltrated society and battles them in Buckaroo Banzai. Then a shotgun toting obese superhero who's worse than the villain saves(?) the day in Italian Spiderman. It's superheros...sort of!

Feeling Minnesota vs Impostor

Feeling Minnesota is about a woman forced to marry a man, so she bangs his brother and runs off with  him. And Impostor tells the tale of a man who may be an alien robot with a bomb built inside him. It's the films of Vincent D'Onofrio.

eXistenZ vs Videodrome

A woman gets shot with a tooth gun and...well...hold on. A man develops a vagina stomach that takes betamax tapes and programs him to...never mind. We're doing eXistenZ and Videodrome. That's right: the movies of David Cronenberg.

Strange Brew vs Beerfest

Max Von Sydow will stop at nothing to control a brewery and his only foil is Bob and Doug McKenzie in Strange Brew. Then the Wolfhouse brothers must win a drinking competition or lose a beer recipe forever in Beerfest. It's movies about making beer.

Hamlet 2 vs Adaptation

Two movies about adapting source material with Katherine Keener for Box Office Battle this week. First, a failed actor writes a sequel to Hamlet and turns his town inside out in Hamlet 2. Then Charlie Kaufman writes himself into his adaptation of an unfilmable novel in Adaptation.

Freaks (1932) vs Freaky Friday (2003)

Box Office Battle covers the most opposite movies with the word "Freak" in the title. Freaks happens when  trapeze artists try to murder sideshow artists. Freaky Friday happens when teenagers and mothers find magic fortune cookies. There can be only one.
