Taika Waititi: Boy (2010)
from After the Hype Hosted by Bryan Dressel
Talk about a jump in quality! This week in our Taika Waititi retrospective we discuss Boy, his feature-length follow-up to Eagle vs. Shark set in New Zealand in 1984. It's a story about overcoming grief, growing up, and being there for your family, all told from the point of view of the title character. Taika has a larger role in this film compared to the last and his energetic and comedic touch REALLY work. Could say more, but you should probably just dive into the episode. We also talk Team Thor, Team Thor Part 2, and his Flight of the Concords episode "New Zealand Town," all of which are pretty funny but maybe don't pop in the way we've come to expect from a Taika Waititi venture.
