Father's Day (Colman Domingo, Tracy Letts, Gary Lewis and Rawiri Paratene) | Episode 8

Don't Know Her? - A podcast by Michael Peers & Scott Thomson

Categories:

Welcome along for episode eight of Don’t Know Her. This time round we are changing things up a little to chat about Dads on film as we celebrate Father’s Day. For the episode we selected four films with Father characters we are particularly fond of, namely: Gary Lewis in Billy Elliot, Rawiri Paratene in Whale Rider, Tracy Letts in Lady Bird and Colman Domingo in If Beale Street Could Talk. We also spoke about some of our other favourite movie Dads and perhaps what kind of stories we’d want for Father characters in cinema moving forward. So please join us as we share the love for some amazing Dads of the big screen and wax lyrical once again on some truly wonderful films!!
