Episode 147: First Cow - Bill & Ted Face The Music

Josh is joined by recurring guest Ben Luben for a double feature everyone made time for this year. First (Beginning-49:01), they discuss the newest film from writer/director Kelly Reichardt, "First Cow." They begin by making the case for why Kelly Reichardt deserves all of the Oscars before discussing how "First Cow" is impressive in simultaneously being a movie about friendship, capitalism and the baking of French pastries as well as a great showcase for Orion Lee, John Magaro and Toby Jones. Then (49:02-1:25:44), they talk about the newest movie in the Bill & Ted franchise, "Bill & Ted Face the Music," as they discuss whether the movie was successful in capturing the spirit of its predecessors, its decision to follow the title characters' daughters into the past, whether it was smart in its depiction of the future and much more! Then (1:26:45-End), they give other recommendations for what they have been watching or plan to watch soon!
