Film Chat

This week we review a pair of quiet, tender dramas about people stoically enduring a tough old time: a troubled veteran and his daughter in the case of Leave No Trace, the latest film from Winter's Bone director Debra Granik; and French women left behind during World War I in Xavier Beauvois' The Guardians. Serious movies receiving serious treatment from this podcast. There's no levity or bantering about for 90% of the episode, but there is constant moody string underscoring. Just letting you know.We also talk about the superlative tweets of Eddie Marsan, Greta Gerwig's Little Women adaptation, and some more film spinoff TV series that absolutely nobody on earth was asking for. Plus, with our listeners' help, we do some 1970s-era Marvel Universe fantasy casting.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
