From director Sam Mendes (Revolutionary Road, 1917) comes a road trip rom-com about some soon-to-be parents. The expectant couple are played by comedy legends Maya Rudolph and John Krasinski who hit the road in an attempt to figure out what kind of parents they want to be. Along the way they’ll encounter new ideas, old wounds, and anti-stroller rhetoric. Hop in with Jim and A.Ron as they explore the themes and ideas Sam Mendes is sharing with us.
Special thanks to Frank Cantelmi for pulling the metaphoric trigger to commission a podcast on “A Prophet”, a 2009 French film and Academy Award nominee directed by Jacques Audiard. An intense, beautiful, absorbing look in how a hapless youth is pulled ever deeper into a world of violent crime, Jim and A.Ron compare it favorably to The Godfather, Goodfellas, and Scarface. Yes, really. Thanks again, Frank!
Special thanks to two time Commissioner Andrew Mount for tasking us with the pleasure of watching Watchmen, a 2009 Zack Snyder adaptation of the classic comic book series by Alan Moore. We both love the movie, and talk about our experiences with the comic and the movie, the metaphysical realities of being Doctor Manhattan, the philosophy of the Watchmen’s world view, and of course, giant glowing blue dongs.
