Episode 65 - Silver Linings Playbook Discussion and Critique

<p>Straight from the Patreon catacombs comes another movie review! Well, less review so much as Joel ranting to Naomi for an hour about his disdain for David Russell&apos;s 2012 film. There&apos;s a reason for that though - Naomi could not sit through it and forced her kindly older brother to shoulder the burden.  <br/><br/>The Guy siblings break down their issues with a highly-regarded and highly-lauded rom-com, ranging from nonsensical plot points to poor representations of mental health to weird casting decisions to a creepy director who needs to be MeToo&apos;d out of the industry. Joel also talks about ways one could improve the film with even just mild tweaks, in a section screenwriters and Hollywood executives will probably reference for years to come. <br/><br/>All credit to the Weinstein Company (yeah, <em>that </em>Weinstein company) for use of their poster and audio clips from the film.<br/><br/>All credit  to Gaumont for the clip from the Fifth Element. <br/><br/>We strongly urge our listeners to support the work of Planned Parenthood by donating <a href='https://www.plannedparenthood.org/planned-parenthood-arizona/donate'>here</a>. Patreon donations are sweet, but there are more important causes to support.<br/><br/>Interested in starting your own podcast?
