Episode 37 - The Rover

  One man lives by his own brutal code in a barbaric Australian wasteland.  Eric (Guy Pearce) is a survivor of a global economic collapse that has rendered paper money nearly worthless and safety an impossibility.  After his prized car is stolen, Eric sets upon a journey to recover it, at any cost.  Along the way he encounters Rey, and the two attempt to reconcile their mutual desire to confront the car thieves.  Phil found this film to be a little too slow-moving to prove satisfying, particularly when the compelling action sequences overshadow the philosophical conversations the characters undertake.  He also was not impressed with Robert Pattinson's interpretation of a character described in the film as a "half-wit".  Andrew and Phil shared the same praise for Guy Pearce's badass portrayal of Eric and the film's inventive musical score.  Andrew went on to express his admiration for the screenplay and other aspects of the film. Overall, the duo was split in their final recommendations.  This doesn't always happen, folks.  Listen to the podcast and weigh in using our comments section.
