EPISODE 42: Almost Famous, Cast Away, and Unbreakable
THIS WEEK: Upon Further Review - The Year 2000! Audy continues his new series by reviewing three films from that year. He brings on two guest co-hosts Warren James, and his producer Jessica Elliott, to walk through memory lane and review Almost Famous, Cast Away and Unbreakable. First, all three review the Cameron Crowe directed and written, coming of age drama, Almost Famous starring Billy Crudup, Kate Hudson and Frances McDormand. All three hosts thought that the movie was overrated, even though there was a benign sweetness tied to the characters. The movie ultimately did not age any better to due lack of strong character arcs. Second, is Cast Away, starring Tom Hanks, and Wilson the Volleyball. Directed by Robert Zemeckis, Cast Away was a popular film back in the day that all three admitted they entirely didn't get or didn't even want to get originally. Upon further review Audy loved it, Jessica really liked it and Warren came away really appreciating the film regardless of the heavy handed and ambiguous ending. Lastly, Unbreakable by M. Night Shyamalan starring Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson. Audy couldn't stand this movie, and really wanted more. He further admitted that it had some potential but was very hallow in its concept. Jessica didn't think much of the film watching it again, but praised Bruce Willis' performance. Warren, unapologetically loved this film and after rewatching it still loves it and feels it's one of the best superhero movies ever, and definitely his favorite Shyamalan film.
