It’s a week of Black & White films. In fact, in honor of the films, we recorded this in black and white. And mono. This may be the episode that breaks Matt. Because first up, It’s Joel Coen’s adaptation of the classic ‘The Tragedy Of Macbeth’. Denzel Washington plays the titular Macbeth. Can it’s streamlined production save it from Matt’s wrath? Then it’s on to Mike Mills’ ‘C’Mon C’Mon’. A slice of life film featuring Joaquin Phoenix in the thoughtful, sensitive role that perhaps further cements him as one of our greatest living actors. There’s the essential listening that is the big releases on Physical Media, featuring the Streaming and Straight to DVD Picks of the Week. The show then closes as Matt and Chris share their 5 Favorite Passion Projects, featuring Travolta, Bruno, Spielberg, and more!
