The Trash Collector

we’re back with another episode- number forty four, in fact- and *much to think about*:  on the news front, we cover the trailer for denis villenueve’s ‘dune’ (3:55), the sad passing of chadwick boseman (12:20) and a quick look at netfix’s teaser for ‘rebecca’ (including armie hammer’s questionable accent) (18:00) after that, we spend some time pontificating about charlie kaufman’s latest head scratcher, ‘i’m thinking of ending things’ (25:30), explain why we’re NOT covering ‘tenet’ (42:50) before sharing our thoughts on the first four episodes of HBOs ‘lovecraft country’ (45:40).  then for our main topic (1:04:55), we take inspiration from two pieces of shia labeouf’s work and talk about those actors whose films you’ll always watch (even if they’re bad). we consider the lows- the recently released ‘the tax collector’ (1:08)- and the career highs- last year’s critically acclaimed ‘honey boy’ (1:12:58)- before discussing a few other actors whose work we’ll always show up for, regardless of quality (1:30:00). to end- as always- obsessions of the week!
