In this episode of Cast-a-Role, we tackle Jim's first wildcard from his junk food list, Quentin Dupieux’s Rubber  — the cult indie comedy-horror film that dares to ask the question: What if a tire... but make it murder? Spoiler: It’s weird, it’s meta, and it might be trolling us all.

We break down this head-scratching horror-comedy, where a sentient tire named Robert uses telekinesis to explode people’s heads, roll through the desert, occasionally watch other people watching the movie he’s in, and try to get it on with a hot chick. It's a film that throws out plot, logic, and pacing in favor of... something? Maybe art. Maybe nonsense.

🎙️ In this episode, we discuss:

Why Rubber might be the most pretentious B-movie ever made

Whether it's clever or just an 82-minute fever dream on wheels

The role of the in-movie audience, the sheriff who quits halfway through, and the haunting question: Is this movie actually about anything?

What it's like to feel both confused and judged by a tire

If you're looking for a funny movie podcast that’s not afraid to roast a cult film, this brutally honest Rubber review is for you.
