Episode 3: Toni Erdmann (2016) and Tully (2018)

In this episode Gabriel and Tom discuss Maren Ade's German cringe-comedyToni Erdmann and Jason Reitman's coming of middle-age dramedy Tully. We open the episode with our movie recommendations of the previous week which includes Geo Copolla's The Last Showgirl and Ryan Cooglers Sinners. Chat turns to ageing starlets, disjointed scripts and Chicago dust storms before turning to our chosen Gut Punch movie moments.
