Reel Rap S5 E5: Sofia Coppola's 'The Beguiled'

After a brief break for Split Tooth Media's 31 Days of October Horror series, Shane and Bennett are back in top form to continue talking through Sofia Coppola's filmography. In this episode they discuss the Civil War drama of a wounded Union soldier (Colin Farrell) being taken in by a group of women (including Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst and Elle Fanning) in a boarding school in what Bennett calls a high-brow horny film. They also talk about the satisfaction of slamming shades shut, the possible Cassavetes housing connection and the incredible performances turned in by the entire cast. A comedy duo straight out of William Penn’s backyard, Bennett Glace, an adult Disney fan, and Shane Pfender, an ordained minister, have for years lent a critical eye to Hollywood’s most tedious auteurs. They are a comedy duo for film snobs and slobs alike. Exhausted by the current uninspired landscape of film criticism, the two work to find a new language with which to understand and interact with the films they cover on their inimitable podcast, Reel Rap.
