Description

Wes Anderson has occupied a rare space in film - critical appreciation, award show recognition, and box office consistency.  He's been able to do this while making nine feature films.  Before his tenth film, The French Dispatch, comes out later in 2020, Jon and Chris are joined by John Axford to discuss the works of Anderson, from Bottle Rocket to Isle of Dogs.
