MANK
from Aya Vs. The Big Boys Hosted by Aya Lehman, Kevin Cookman
Ladies, germs, and enbies, the day is upon us: sweet, sweet MANK day. Have you MANK'd? Aya and Kevin MANK'd their MANKs so hard. Aya's favorite director dropped a new big boy, a biopic of a B-tier Hollywood director's screenwriter brother written by Fincher's late father decades ago, so the duo dives head-first into The Great Depression to figure out exactly why David Fincher made this weirdo, pain-stakingly crafted exploration of the purpose of cinema beyond held-over sentimental feelings. Or, maybe, that's all the reason you need to make a movie. There's discussion of William Randolph Hearst's sinister wealth, the uselessness of Gary Oldman, the modern function of D.W. Griffith's THE BIRTH OF A NATION, and nonstop adulating praise for Miss Amanda Seyfried. Should you MANK your MANK? You'll have to listen to find out!
