Wes Anderson is like marmite; you either love him or you hate him. The question is, "what did we think?" Join your favourite transatlantic podcasting duo - Ian & Liam - as we take up residence in the 2014 Wes Anderson critical favourite, The Grand Budapest Hotel. We're joined in the lobby by our two would-be lobby boys Ellie and Georgia to discuss an audience request which had us asking some rather unique questions. It's an 18th Episode that borders on the absurd as we discuss:
- Just how severe is Wes Anderson's rule against adlibbing?
- Which scene required over 40 takes to get right
- What is it with directors kicking their actors in the face.
- How much creepier is Monsieur Gustave if Anderson had his original choice for Tilda Swinton's part
- What's the difference between a cheap cut and a prime fillet
- Is this the best Ralph Fiennes films that we've reviewed on the podcast?
- Can a film be too clever for its own good
- What 2 moral stands does the podcast take during this episode.
- If "The Grand Budapest Hotel" is it the best film ever.
