This one has a shockingly young, skin-headed Gary Oldman banging around in a giant metal pot, and if that doesn't sell you on Meantime, then I just don't know what will.

Twenty-One: Mank, the Writer, the Holy Fool, and the Organ-Grinder’s Monkey
It's Manksgiving, y'all.
Twenty: The Firm, Hooliganism, and Masculinity Gone Awry
It’s bad for society, and y'know, it’s really bad for men.
Nineteen: The Scarlet Letter, Alcoholism, and “Being True”
The movie was hammered with bad reviews at the time. "Yeah," concedes Gary, "but there's some good work in there."
Eighteen: The Book of Eli, Westerns, and the Politics of Faith
As gunslingers and sinners, they each need redemption, but they suck at going about it-- one moreso than the other, maybe, but they're both in trouble. And no, I'm not talking about the 2020 election (okay, I am, kind of).
Seventeen: The Unborn, Trauma, and Jewish Horror Movies
It's kinda weird that Catholicism gets dibs on (arguably) the scariest movie of all time. Where is the Jewish Exorcist?
Tiny Gary is all about civic duty
Gary Oldman has stressed that he is still a British citizen, and thus cannot vote in US elections. But Tiny Gary is American made. Yay early voting! Good luck out there.
Sixteen: Hannibal, Scary Makeup, and Hiding in Plain Sight
Verger is an incredibly revolting character, but not because of his lewk.
Important PSA:
Some people don't.
Fifteen: Bram Stoker’s Dracula, Oceans of Time, and Sexiness
That's right: Bram Stoker's Dracula directed by Francis Ford Coppola IS sexiness. Sometimes even surprisingly so, even though we are talking about the 1990's aesthetic colliding with one of the most sex-obsessed works of literature ever.
