Boyhood & The Snail and the Whale

Mad Mums takeover this week as Reegs's long-suffering wife makes the nominations. Most of us yearn to travel if only just to spend a few precious nights away from the little ones, to see strange new places and experience different cultures and we attempt to scratch that itch by discussing our top 5 film travel destinations.BOYHOOD is director Richard Linklater's 2014 epic literal coming-of-age drama starring Ellar - son of Robbie - Coltrane as the boy to whom said boyhood belongs. Academy Award winner Patricia Arquette and Ethan Hawke are superb as the now separated parents struggling to bring up their son. Filmed over 12 years, the movies plot is concerned with typically Linklater-ian low-level suburban drama but the real-life aging of all of the main cast lends the movie a profoundly moving quality quite unlike anything you've ever seen before.If you're listening to this podcast there's a good chance that you are a parent, or if not, you will almost certainly have spent some time around children. You may even have been one at some point in your life. So it's a foregone conclusion that you will have spent a portion of your parental time in the delightful imagination of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. This week sees the Dads reminiscing generally about this absolute staple of childhood but specifically the 2019 computer animation of THE SNAIL AND THE WHALE.Come and talk to us!
