35 - Manchester by the Sea (2016)

Tim and Ben are joined by friend of the show Nick to discuss Kenneth Lonergan's brutal yet hopeful "Manchester by the Sea". We talk about the incredible comeback story this movie represents for Lonergan, the John Krasinski connection, Michelle Williams as a genius of crying, emasculating Matthew Broadrick, yet another reminder how how good 2016's movies were and how this movie captures Ben's lived experience possibly more than any other movie to date. Also discussed: Ghost in the Shell, Nirvana: The Band The Show The Movie, Robocop, La Flor pt 3 plus Ben and Tim both saw the Odyssey and only one of us liked it, tune in to find out who you want to yell at. We will be back next week going back to one of the muses of this show Steven Soderbergh and his Palme d'Or winning 1989 debut "Sex, Lies and Videotape". Thanks to Disco and Eric as always.
