No Other Choice (dir. Park Chan-wook) and Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie (dir. Matt Johnson) - (both 4.5/5)
Park Chan-wook is the director of Oldboy and The Handmaiden and a bunch of other amazing movies so it's not really a surprise how good No Other Choice is. It is surprising how funny it is though. Still a bit of a grim premise but it manages to both be a lot of fun and so delicately crafted and full of intentionality.
And the names associated with NTBTSTM probably won't be quite as recognizable but you might recognize them as the people who made the Wii Shop Wednesday song (see below). Their previous movies (The Dirties and Operation Avalanche) are both thoroughly worth watching too, but this one is based on their longstanding webseries turned show, where they play a couple dumbasses who are trying to get their band booked at a local club. You don't need to know anything going in though. I overheard a lady in theatre talking about how much she liked Kurt Cobain before the film and spoiler (not really), this isn't about that Nirvana. She was laughing her head off through the whole thing though. It officially comes out in a couple months so if you get a chance to see it, watch this dang movie.
