BEHEMOTH! MOVIE REVIEW
The One of Us crew continues their journey into the Austin Film Festival with the big premiere of Tony Gilroy’s latest film, Behemoth! Pedro Pascal is Alex, a prodigy cellist, who’s taking up gigs in scoring feature films after some family & relationship drama. As he’s finishing up a session, word spreads fast that he’s back in town and his ex-girlfriend Carol (Olivia Wilde) comes barreling in looking for him as if it’s an action thriller. What Gilroy takes advantage of in the film is the magnificent musical talent he has at his fingertips to score traditionally pedestrian scenes with a bombastic full symphony. A simple scene of a scorned lover trying to speak with their ex turns into tension filled chase scene. A scene where someone tries to find an artifact in a house turns into a sweeping epic. The film takes place during various periods of Alex’s life such as diving into a relationship with fellow musician Nadia (Eva Victor), his distant relationship with his brother (Will Arnett), and trying to find some connection with his late father (Hank Azaria), all the while trying to find his place in the world. Listen as Wright and Nathan sing Tony Gilroy’s praises with his film, Behemoth!
DIRECTED BY: Tony Gilroy
STARRING: Pedro Pascal, Olivia Wilde, Eva Victor, Alexa Swinton, Kaya Ralls, Erik Griffin, JoBeth Williams, Margarita Levieva, Hank Azaria, Will Arnett
YOUR REVIEWERS
Wright Sulek (The Other Boss, Trash in the Can, Digital Noise, Highly Suspect Reviews, One Man’s Trash, Screener Squad)
Wright hails from the northern suburbs of Dallas, Texas. His passion for filmmaking brought him to Austin to study and make movies. Since then he’s had his hand in acting, writing, and directing his own short films with numerous like-minded film geeks he’s met along his journey. His newest interest has brought him into the podcasting world. He co-hosted a few different movie related podcasts such as ‘And Now This’ and ‘The Match Cut’. He currently co-hosts with longtime friend, Eric Samaniego, where they talk shop about the grimiest, trashiest, lost gems of movies on their show, ‘Trash in the Can’. Wright also guests and hosts reviews on Screener Squad and Highly Suspect Reviews as well as co-hosts Digital Noise with Chris Cox. As of 2024, Wright has now been inducted into the Austin Film Critics Association as well as co-owns the One of Us network with Chris Cox.
Nathan Flynn (Screener Squad, Highly Suspect Reviews)
Nathan Flynn is the resident goofball of OneofUs.Net, often found overly caffeinated, slightly stoned, and ready to unleash the hottest takes imaginable. As the resident Letterboxd Lunatic, his movie opinions are as bold as his love for Top Gun: Maverick — a film he considers less of a movie and more of a religion. When he’s not passionately defending his latest cinematic obsession, Nathan manages a comedy club in downtown Austin, where he’s somehow avoided being heckled… so far. Around here, he’s usually the punching bag, but hey, someone’s gotta do it.
