Paul and Corey Cross the Streams: S7E03 [THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS (2001)]

Welcome to Season 7! As we are now a quarter of the way through the 21st century, like Bill Murray in Tootsie, Paul and Corey are asking, "What happened?" This season we are looking at the trends, genres, styles, and more that make up cinema of the past 25 years. Now, if you came here expecting us to discuss The Avengers (2012), we apologize. Both Corey and Paul only made it about 40 minutes in before they tapped out. If you'd like to hear their thoughts, stick around at the end of the episode. With that said, Wes Anderson's third feature film The Royal Tenenbaums 2001)! What a treat this was. It's the first Anderson film we've covered, and so we dive into what makes him...him. And obviously Gene Hackman's passing made us want to celebrate one of his great roles. From cinematography, to set design, cast, soundtrack, writing, and all the rest, this is a perfect film.
