Ep 19 - Read After Burning
Burn After Reading (2008), In the Loop (2009), & The Informant! (2009)
ALL MOVIES SPOILED
In this film block, Jeremy and Brian explore the upward failing American idiot, a person who believes everything they do, no matter how heinous, is justified. They have to believe it. They are the hero of their own story. They are not wrong, the world is wrong. Whether they are part of the deep state or a fortune 500 company, their fuckups are always someone else fault. So of course, stories like this are best told as comedies where the audience is provided some much-needed ironic distance.
