Best Film Ever

Episode 234 - Boyhood


Listen Later

(Deep Dive begins at 34:50)

The film that took twelve years to make and almost as long for us to review it.  Join your favorite TransAtlantic podcasters, Ian, KevDog and Georgia, as we're heading back to our collective childhoods as we watch Boyhood for its 10th anniversary. We're expressing our hatred for squash in our 234th episode as we discuss:

  • What risks did Richard Linklater take when making this film
  • What was Ian's prediction at the end of the film
  • We got some more film school as Ian talks about spectatorship and ideology
  • We talk about the various barriers to engaging with this film
  • The writing, acting, and directing all come under a pretty hard gaze
  • Is Richard Linklater just trying to send a message to his ex-wife?
  • How much does the scope of this film forgive to wrap it all up?
  • Much like Mason asks, what is the point of it all, anyways?
  • Whether or not Boyhood is the Best Film Ever
