Episode 11: The Pleasure-Seeking Knuckleheads Edition

Due to the holiday break, we haven’t recorded a new podcast in a month, but the movies haven’t exactly stopped provoking conversation in our absence. In fact, there’s so much to talk about that we decided to forego our usual game and 30 Seconds To Sell segments just to get to a larger fraction of the topics we had in mind. We start the new year with an argument between podcast hosts Scott Tobias and Tasha Robinson, who tend to disagree a lot, but rarely as fervently as they do on Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf Of Wall Street. From there, an advertisement promoting Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit as “From The Director Of Thor” has us wondering about directors like Kenneth Branagh, whose career seemed to promise one thing, but delivered something else entirely. And finally, we share what movies, new and old, we watched over the holiday break and offer some good recommendations.
