48. Coppola Cast #29: Jack (1996)

It’s time for Bryan and A.J. to make sense of perhaps the oddest movie in Francis Coppola’s filmography, Jack (1996). We break down what works and what doesn’t as this kids movie swings from silly kid friendly comedy to heavy themes of mortality and whether or not Jack, a child who ages rapidly, will have a full life. Of course we talk about the career and performance of the late and forever great Robin Williams. We are surprised by how much there is to discuss about Jack and how it surprisingly ties into the rest of Coppola’s filmography. Our conversation leads to an unexpectedly emotional tangent about The Coneheads and a discussion of the 1996 Stinkers Bad Movie Awards. This episode’s Coppola wines were: Diamond Collection Pinot Grigio 2019 and 2020.Be sure to check out The World is Wrong Podcast w/Andras Jones and Bryan Connollyhttps://www.theworldiswrongpodcast.com/
