This week on Bad First Impression:

I took my friend Alex Wolz to an age-appropriate showing of Moonrise Kingdom at one of my favorite movie houses in New York: The Film Forum. Discussion topics include:

 

• Does Wes Anderson make accessible, mainstream films, or does he deserve his reputation as a highfalutin auteur?
• How do the jokes in this movie feel off-the-cuff when their construction is so particular and specific?
• Have I successfully converted Alex to attending movies at smaller movie houses instead of exclusively maxing out his AMC A-List reservations?

All this and more!
