121. Wasted Potential

from Shot/Reverse Shot Hosted by Shot/Reverse Shot

Inspired by Spectre and its insistence on squandering the scenery-destroying talents of Christoph Waltz, Matt and Ed are talking about Wasted Potential this week. They discuss artists who don't fulfill their potential due to the actions of others (Orson Welles), because of their own choices (Marlon Brando), or just because they stopped trying (Robert De Niro, Al Pacino etc.). They also wonder if Jesse Eisenberg's awful-looking performance as Lex Luthor in Batman v Superman is secretly brilliant, share their #hottake on the recently announced BIFA winners, and accidentally create a mashup of Night of the Hunter and Shadow of the Colossus. 00:00:00 - 00:12:57 - Intro & News00:12:58 - 00:51:09 - Matt and Ed discuss Wasted Potential00:51:10 - 00:55:38 - SRS Recommends & Outro - Here is the Nathan Rabin article on Wish I Was Here that Matt references during SRS Recommends.
