This week The Talkies come together to discuss the films of the one and only Noah Baumbach. But first in classic Alex tradition she kicks off the show with a scathing review of Now You See Me. Then the group talks unlikeable characters and awkward moments with Kicking and Screaming, The Squid and the Whale, Margot at the Wedding and Greenberg.

Finally, in the main review The Talkies gush over Frances Ha and Long’s new crush Greta Gerwig. Just how adorable does he find her? Which Talkie lets Baumbachs shortcomings pass every now and again? You’ll have to listen to find out!
