Episode 329 - The Disaster Artist

James Franco has created a poignant, hilarious comedy about the making of the worst movie ever.  His performance anchors the film, and he clearly cares about his character.  He has an aptitude for directing comedy that Phil felt was sorely missing in his serious adaptations of Faulkner novels.  Andrew also really liked this film, another solid A24 release.  Our two hosts debate the bona fides of the central friendship, which is based on real life, but seems unlikely.
