The Royal Tenenbaums (2001) : Fly Mordecai Fly

This week, we unpack the pastel-drenched, melancholically whimsical world of Wes Anderson’s The Royal Tenenbaums. We dive into dysfunctional genius, family trauma wrapped in vintage Adidas tracksuits, and the subtle art of deadpan delivery. From Margot’s smoky mystery to Richie’s tennis breakdown, we talk character arcs, absurd set design, and how Gene Hackman somehow makes being a terrible father so watchable.Plus: Is Pagoda the real MVP? Does Owen Wilson's cowboy get enough credit? And what exactly is a Tenenbaum family meeting?Grab your eyeliner and falcon, and join us as we laugh, cry, and try not to get hit by a BB.
