The Quiet (2005)

For a wildly unpredictable new year, Sam and Jordan have a wildly
unpredictable Aughtsterion coming at you thanks to Jamie Babbit's
2005 meditation on Very Sad Mysteries: The Quiet. This
episode is really one for the books you guys, because it finds
your co-hosts lobbying for The Quiet as the definitive 2000s
anti-erotic thriller while providing you with a huge insider tip
for how to get cast in a Sam Wineman feature film. Elisha
Cuthbert is saying fuck your girl next door fantasies. Katy Mixon
is giving a tour de force mean girl performance. Edie Falco is a
tragic "prescript-a-holic", and taken all together, Babbit is
leading this ensemble through a blistering commentary on the
tropes of patriarchal Lolita lust in genre. If you wrote this
movie off before then wake your ass up. It's time to correct the
record.
