Film Chat

It's our 200th episode!!! We celebrate this massive landmark by acknowledging it. Otherwise this episode is just like the other ones.REVIEWED: Monos, an acclaimed, surreal arthouse film about child guerrillas that Peter Bradshaw called "deeply mad" in a five-star review. Danny condemns the film and everyone who liked it. Plus, we review The Laundromat, a star-studded Steven Soderbergh movie that broadly speaking does for the Panama Papers scandal what The Big Short did for the subprime mortgage crisis, that is tell a detail-rich story of financial corruption in a breezy, fourth-wall-breaking way that makes you feel like you're learning even if you're not. ALSO DISCUSSED: Two films for which we cannot wait: A sexy sounding drama in which Stanley Tucci and Colin Firth play a romantic couple, and Daniel Kaluuya's collaboration with toy company Mattel on a presumably-soon-to-be-Oscar-nominated Barney the Dinosaur movie.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
