198. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood & Bait

After a hiatus spent reflecting deeply on the time travel mechanics in Avengers: Endgame, we are back! We review Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, a paean to Tinseltown that will make you want to build a little shrine in your home to the hardworking actors who were big on TV in the 50s but never quite made the transition to film. Bless their pure souls. Danny also gives his take on Bait, an arthouse drama about Cornish fishermen painstakingly shot on black and white 16mm. Critics love it - but what about our contrarian Film Chat host? He also thought it was good.Plus, we discuss Ben Wheatley's move into blockbuster filmmaking, we marvel at the ambition of Richard Linklater's next generation-spanning megaproject, and we hold back the gasps and sobs while ruminating on the demise of the Jeremy Renner app. Hosted on Acast.
