Episode 10: The French Dispatch // The Power of the Dog

The French Dispatch // The Power of the Dog

 

After an extended Weekly Watch List (how did Mike’s water bottle end up in a toilet?),  we look to the future and discuss some exciting new movies. (01:35)

 

Next we grab our bicycles and review “The French Dispatch,” Wes Anderson’s journalism anthology. Who in this massive cast stood out, and who was underused? Can any of us decipher the origin of the student protest? Most importantly, what is Henry Winkler doing in this movie? (27:26)

 

Then we head to Montana (a hundred years ago) to discuss Jane Campion’s “The Power of the Dog.” How does the invisible Bronco Henry loom over the entire story? What role does self-rejection play? Most importantly, how effective is the pinano music? (54:35)
