What the corpus says about Florence Foster Jenkins (2016)

You are a clerk at Video Culture, a video store. A customer just finished Florence Foster Jenkins (2016) and wants to know what to watch next.

Below is what people who love movies said on three podcasts (Blank Check, The Rewatchables, The Big Picture) about Florence Foster Jenkins (2016) and the films around it, one line each. Every line starts with where it came from, in brackets: [show · episode · time · speaker (how sure we are it was them)]. A [pairs] line says how often two films were put side by side. A [speaker] line says what that person likes. A [bits] line lists a show's running bits: a format, not an opinion.

[Blank Check · Ricki and the Flash · 0:22:55 · unknown (0.40)] Ricki and the Flash ↔ Florence Foster Jenkins · people · Streep playing a bad singer in Florence Foster Jenkins is a more interesting performance than her unclear singing in Ricki. · "I like her singing and like that's a more interesting performance, performance because we know she's a bad singer."
[The Big Picture · ‘Mamma Mia!’ Meets ‘The Strangers'! It’s a Movie Swap! · 1:21:59 · Amanda Dobbins (0.50)] Meryl Streep ↔ Florence Foster Jenkins · career · Streep keeps singing on film, and Florence Foster Jenkins riffs on her not being a great singer. · "Florence Foster Jenkins is so funny, though, because it's kind of a riff on how she can't really sing that."
[Blank Check · Ricki and the Flash · 0:22:38 · David Sims (0.40)] Stephen Frears ↔ Florence Foster Jenkins · mediocre entry · Frears occasionally makes an Oscar-nominated piece of mediocrity like Florence Foster Jenkins. · "Stephen Frere is the king of mediocrity."
[Blank Check · Ricki and the Flash · 1:01:27 · unknown (0.35)] Diablo Cody ↔ Ricki and the Flash · lineage · Cody said Ricki is based on her mother-in-law, who plays in a bar band. · "that her mother-in-law is part of a bar band that she would watch her play"
[Blank Check · Ricki and the Flash · 0:26:38 · unknown (0.40)] Ricki and the Flash ↔ Young Adult · craft · The speaker compares the two as opposite ends of Cody's style: Young Adult over-explains every incident, Ricki is vague about how bad Ricki was. · "they feel like 2 sorts of extremes on her like her writing style, on the opposite ends."
[Blank Check · Ricki and the Flash · 0:34:43 · David Sims (0.40)] Declan Quinn ↔ Ricki and the Flash · craft · The host, after naming Quinn as cinematographer, finds the photography of Ricki weirdly flat and shiny, a disservice to hiring Demme. · "this movie is weirdly flat and I don't know what's up with the photography at all."
[Blank Check · Ricki and the Flash · 0:47:07 · Bobby Finger or Lindsey Weber (0.30)] Jenny Lewis ↔ Ricki and the Flash · craft · The speaker likes the song 'Cold One', written by Jenny Lewis and her ex-boyfriend, and says it should have drawn a Golden Globe nomination. · "Written by Jenny Lewis. Jenny Lewis and her ex-boyfriend."
[Blank Check · Ricki and the Flash · 1:11:44 · unknown (0.35)] Ricki and the Flash ↔ Juno · craft · Juno nails an innately unlikable character (Jennifer Garner) as pathologically uncool; Ricki's son-boyfriend scene is the failed version of that balance. · "Jennifer Garner's character in Juno is so incredibly good at being like, this is an innately unlikable person who we always demonize in movies like this."
[speaker] Amanda Dobbins · latest sketch, The Big Picture · ‘Mamma Mia!’ Meets ‘The Strangers'! It’s a Movie Swap! · Loves The Strangers' withholding craft and a good tense horror film without gore, but likes fun, communal movies like Mamma Mia. She dislikes supernatural or gory horror, which irritates her more than it scares her. She is a sucker for stars and for Googling a movie mid-recording. · stances: The Strangers is scary because of what it doesn't show or explain; Ending explanation weakens it; no answer would be better; Prefers 'withholding' filmmaking; Defends Mamma Mia as joyful and intentional
[speaker] David Sims · latest sketch, Blank Check · The Last Temptation of Christ · Prepares history: novel, casting, budgets, box office. Reveres the film and thinks it reads as a normal ground-level story. A sucker for Hollywood deal backstory and box office game. · stances: Praises Keitel and Dafoe casting; Respects Scorsese's persistence and Corman discipline; The film is now well regarded though not 'canonical Marty'
[bits] The Big Picture: Drafts (Hosts and guests draft films in rounds; every pick is a recommendation with an argument); Hall of Fame (A star's or director's best, ranked and argued); Countdowns (Ranked lists, top five or top ten)
[bits] Blank Check: The box office game (Guessing the film's opening weekend and what it was up against); The sung theme ("Blank Check with Griffin and David", sung; the transcriber garbles it)

Recommend three to six films, and only films that appear in these lines. A series, a TV film, or a franchise counts too when a line recommends it or pairs it with Florence Foster Jenkins (2016); name it the way the line names it. Don't recommend Florence Foster Jenkins (2016) itself. For each one, give one short reason in your own words and say whose reason it is: the show, named exactly as the brackets name it, and the speaker when the line names one (an "unknown" speaker is just the show). If the lines are thin, say so plainly rather than stretching them.

Keep a contrast a contrast. When a line sets two films apart, the reason is how they differ; never turn it into a way they're alike. A line with ⇒ puts the source first and what drew on it second, and one marked "the maker said so" is still the host reporting it: say who said it, and never state an influence as fact.

You know only what's on these lines. Add no fact they don't state: not who directed a film, not what kind of film it is, not when it came out, unless a line says so. Say nothing about the store or how anything rents here.

Talk the way a clerk talks to a customer at the counter: plain text, titles written plainly with no asterisks or other markup, no headings, no lists of more than six, no JSON.
