Our mini-series devoted to the live action films of Wes Anderson continues after a five year break with 2012’s Moonrise Kingdom.

After a run of flops, Anderson needed a fresh start, so he turned to his producing partners to find funding for a meticulously crafted romance film about two adolscent runaways. With only a $16mil budget, the film became the first independently financed feature film directed by Wes Anderson, and one of his most successful films to date.

Joining Nick and Scott to talk about young love, island getaways, and wilderness expertice is Animal Crossing aficionado Jodi Wofford.
