The final film of 2020 is a Spike Jonze family picture, adapted from a short picture book, somehow featuring arm rips and throwing friends into other friends. What a perfect film to remind you of the mayhem of Christmas past, as we sit alone in our pandemic world, feeling every emotion and waiting for something good to come. Max and the Wild Things are 2020, and Andrew and Johnny and friends Jim Broadbent and Paul Giamatti ease the Christmas fear for another season.
202 - INTO THE WILD
Andrew presents one of his all-time favourite films during a time when neither host has been able to experience any kind of outside adventure in almost half a year, it’s a perfect time to lament and wistfully watch a film like this. Will Johnny join Andrew in loving this film, or like Andrew to any of Johnny’s films, will Johnny nitpick this to death?
199 - BEING JOHN MALKOVICH
It’s episode 199 and Andrew is bringing the Spike Jonze and Charlie Kaufman of it back to Johnny in a conclusively final first creative experience episode. Andrew considers Catherine Keener and a sexual awakening, whilst Johnny struggles to comprehend the mindblowing nature of art, puppetry and Cameron Diaz’s hair.
BONUS - S1MONE
Mark Searby, author of Al Pacino: The Movies Behind The Man now available on Amazon, tasks the boys with watching S1mone, and of course Al Pacino pops by to help out with this whole shindig. Hooah. Attica! Gattaca!
032 - DEATH TO SMOOCHY
Robin Williams, Edward Norton, Jon Stewart, Danny DeVito and Catherine Keener star in a film you've never seen and maybe shouldn't?
