For this Wednesday Super Slop Night, first up is Delicatessen, a surreal dystopian French black-comedy-satire about a post-apocalyptic city in which meat is a rare luxury, eagerly sought by the surviving inheritors of the ruined world. Amidst this carnist hellscape, a man falls in love with a butcher’s daughter, and is manipulated by her family into helping out the family business. This is considered one of the best films of director Jean-Pierre Jeunet, who is best-known for Amelie (2001) and Alien Resurrection (1997). Looks cool; let’s watch.

Next is How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003), a screwball rom-com starring Kate Hudson as a journalist who bets that she can drive off any man within ten days, and Matthew McConaughey as a womanizer who bets that he can seduce any woman within ten days. Hilarity ensues. Surely these two won’t stand each other. For some reason, this movie is really popular on Letterboxd; 6th most popular film of 2003 there? Well, okay, we’ll check it out. Director Donald Petrie is otherwise best-known for, uhh, Miss Congeniality (2000) and Richie Rich (1994).

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Hextube, right here:
