Tune in as Robyn Zabukovec (@TheFinalGirly) circles back around to the podcast to cover Blue Ruin, the 2013 revenge thriller about the brutal and messy fallout from a quest for vengeance on which a drifter embarks against the man who killed his parents twenty years ago. Movies that have “sound” in the title and other easy ways to snag an Oscar, the underrated con artist flick I Care a Lot and other parts of Macon Blair’s filmography, reading an anti-violence message in Jeremy Saulnier’s work, and Robyn sharing her gripes with the Jumanji requels stand out as a few talking points for this episode.
Written and directed by Jeremy Saulnier, Blue Ruin stars Macon Blair, Devin Ratray, Amy Hargreaves, Kevin Kolack, Eve Plumb, David Thompson, Brent Werzner, Stacy Rock, Sidné Anderson, and Bonnie Johnson.
