Episode description

Eyy! Rachel Getting Married! It's a heavy movie! We talk about Ann Hathaway playing into public type, the incredibly strange casting, Demme as a physical filmmaker working in a kinetic-digital world, rehab, European family vs American Family, 'Realism,' and other stuff.

Hey: there's a weird little background sound in this episode. Sorry we hope it doesn't drive you insane. We were recording at Workers' Tap and the music was a little loud. We swear the episode is good enough that you will be able to ignore it.

Interesting interview about the movie's sound mixing here. Good essay comparing the movie to Mike Leigh's work here.

Matt recommends the new Adam Curtis thing. It's called 'Shifty.' Corbin recommends "On Fire" by Galaxie 500. Our Next Episode is about "Che," a movie that is very hard to watch on the internet. More information on this in the audio of the episode.
