In which we mourn the passing of a great actor and look at the world of films that aren't told from the default point of view. 0:50 - R.I.P. Philip Seymour Hoffman 8:40 - Box Office: Wolf of Wall Street = One long beer commercial. Also, Frozen and the high returns on Bechdel Test-friendly cinema. 23:40 - Feature Segment: Movies about a culture where the main character is actually a part of that culture. Why so rare? 44:05 - Overlooked Gems: It's Dave's turn to pick a documentary. Kevin picks a quiet film from a director more recently known for broad comedy. Also, here's the Alyssa Rosenberg we keep talking about this episode. Talking Pictures is hosted by Kevin Smokler (@weegee) and David Dylan Thomas (@movie_pundit). |
