Perfect Days (Review)


Listen Later

Episode 02. For the first review of the year, we discuss Wim Wenders’ 2023 film, Perfect Days, but not before we debate if 2 inches of snow constitutes being "snowed in," and compare our matching LEGO race cars. Perfect Days is a delightfully simple movie, about a man's solitary but happy existence cleaning the public toilets of Tokyo, listening to soft rock, and taking pictures of leaves. We also talk about the best bathrooms we've ever encountered, a park where you can bring your own tree, what is and isn't a "slice of life" story, setting paintings on fire, and how F1: The Movie got nominated for Best Picture.
