The final film of 2020 is a Spike Jonze family picture, adapted from a short picture book, somehow featuring arm rips and throwing friends into other friends. What a perfect film to remind you of the mayhem of Christmas past, as we sit alone in our pandemic world, feeling every emotion and waiting for something good to come. Max and the Wild Things are 2020, and Andrew and Johnny and friends Jim Broadbent and Paul Giamatti ease the Christmas fear for another season.
201 - ERIN BROCKOVICH
It’s back to reality, oop there goes gravity, as Andrew and Johnny square up to Isolation August with a spin around 2000’s Julia Roberts Oscar winning performance as Erin Brockovich. Nobody’s going insane or depressed at home, so why wouldn’t a fun romp around big corporations killing and hiding the facts of killing innocent working class people be the kind of film we all enjoy? I’m rambling, one second, I’ll continue, it’s a podcast episode, go listen. End communication.
182 - MARGARET
Sitting on the shelf after a long time, we release an episode on Kenneth Lonergan’s much-delayed epic human drama, where Johnny has some sort of comprehensive understanding of humanity and the universe, and Andrew reminisces on the single-screen opening day in London.
