Episode 48: Anora / Fall Roundup feat. Trap / Juror #2 / Fight Club 25th Anniversary

Is ANORA a progressive indie all about representation and destigmatization, or a hilarious, madcap romantic thriller? Perhaps it’s a bit of both. The Brothers explore these questions and more as they review Sean Baker’s Palme d’Or winner. In particular, they focus on the film’s anthropological lens, its lead performance, its pacing, its humour, its setting, and, of course, the critical discourse surrounding the film. Afterwards, they go on a tour of their recent fall viewing, touching on revisits and new releases, including M. Night Shyamalan’s TRAP, Sean Baker’s TAKE OUT, David Fincher’s FIGHT CLUB, which turned 25 this year, Clint Eastwood’s JUROR #2, Edward Berger’s CONCLAVE, and the HBO series ROME, for good measure.
