We're back! We've been on a bit of hiatus due to Coronavirus but now we're back in the studio (safe and socially distanced) and doing our damn thing again. I know we didn't get the Westworld Season 1 pod out to y'all but it is on our radar still. Instead, this week we're talking about the 2019 Guy Ritchie flick "The Gentlemen" and his body of work.
"The Gentlemen" is a return to form for Guy Ritchie and a fun, fast-paced, many charactered, Brit gangster movie within a framed narrative... We talk about the Ritchie formula, his (classic) hits and (complete) misses, why the film works, what we like and we don't like... PALMREADER talks about his mid feelings about Matthew McConaughey but we both gush about Hugh Grant, Colin Farrell and Charlie Hunnam who deliver stellar performances.
We discuss questions of how a gangster film can be politically correct, ask "how much is a pound of flesh?", the genius of the script, grime music, movies about making movies, "banter", his use of multiple storylines, the political issues raised against the film and the differences between the UK and North American English. The movie rules if you like Guy Ritchie movies.
Next week? Hereditary. Let's join a cult and summon a demon.
