Robin Williams had a knack for playing the one person that no one else in the world could understand. From his bizarre beginnings as an alien on the sitcom “Mork & Mindy” to his kooky portrayal of real-life doctor “Patch Adams”, Robbins had the ability to capture what it was about us that felt weird and unique. The 1996 film “Jack” is no exception. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, the silly film –written by the man now responsible for “The Purge” franchise– follows a ten-year-old struggling with a genetic disorder that makes him appear to look four times his age. The hosts discuss appearances by JLo and Diane Lane as well as Robin’s performance. An impossible premise masquerading as a feel-good hit, the hosts question whether “Jack” is instead one of the darkest existentialist films in recent decades.
