The ADR Podcast

In the most bizarre form of Stockholm Syndrome ever, I rewatched Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel and have more reasons why I don't like it. Shocking.

Topics include the incredible appeal of the movie overseas, Anderson's personal wounds, and how quirk can get in the way of character. 

2008 brought one of the most bizarre yet affecting movies I've ever seen, Martin McDonach's In Bruges. I talk about how it manages to make lots of different styles and moods work together and try to navigate spoiler-filled waters to entice those who haven't seen the movie yet. 

After a long hiatus, ADR is back with a look at Zach Braff's film Garden State, which resonates with me a lot. Topics include the idea of home, the film's abrupt ending, and Manic Pixie Dream Girls. 

For the first half-hour ADR Podcast, I take a look at the original (or rather, real) trilogy of Star Wars films. 

Topics:

• Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope
• Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back
• Star Wars Episode IV: Return of the Jedi
• Documentary update

A week full of coming-of-age films comes to a close with 2012's The Perks of Being A Wallflower based on the 199 book of the same name. 

Another great coming-of-age film is Wes Anderson's Rushmore, starring Jason Schwartzman and Bill Murray. 

One of last summer's big teen movies, The Way Way Back is all about overcoming obstacles and becoming a real person. I finally got to see this a few nights ago. I apologize for the crappy sound quality today, I'm not entirely sure why it's as choppy as it is. 

Francois Truffaut's first film is in the spotlight today!

Foodfight! is one of the worst things I've ever seen. Ever. I go a little overboard ranting about how much this movie sucks. 

Special thanks to Asidus for his fantastic theme music! 

A spoiler-filled discussion of last night's Game of Thrones episode with my first ever guest, Neetha Nathan!
