S2E7 - Manchester By the Sea and Demolition

Manchester by the Sea (2016) put simply is the story of an uncle who is asked to take care of his teenage nephew after the boy's father dies. The complicated emotions that are involved are what caries this incredible film. Casey Affleck leads a film that is so grounded and true to life.  Demolition (2015) stars Jake Gyllenhaal as a successful investment banker struggles after losing his wife in a tragic car crash. We discuss these two powerful, emotionally driven films by Jean-Marc Vallée and newcomer Kenneth Lonergan. A rare, no nonsense discussion by the two Mikes. Enjoy because we sure did.
