#162 Amsterdam, Blonde, Silver Linings Playbook

This week, we tackle the loud and opinionated Blonde; a films about the late star Marilyn Monroe/Norma Jean. We also look into the films’ controversy, bombastic style and how and what it chooses to fictionalize a real person. We also dig into a double feature of David O Russell’s films. The first is his latest, Amsterdam; a period piece about a group of friends mired in a crazy conspiracy. We look back to ten years ago when Russell’s Silver Linings Playbook came out and we take stock in how good of a romantic comedy it is. 

 

Next Time: Triangle of Sadness, Watcher, The Bourne Identity
