Our mini-series devoted to the live action films of Wes Anderson continues with Anderson’s biggest success story, 2014’s The Grand Budapest Hotel.

Both a culmination and arguably a masterwork for Wes Anderson as a filmmaker, his eighth feature was also a massive hit, raking in $172 million at the global box office, and a critical darling, earning over fifty award wins and hundreds of nominations. But does it hold up as the Crème de la crème of Anderson’s entire filmography?

Joining Nick and Scott to talk about matryoshka timelines, intricate baked goods, and fascinating life stories is actress and casting director Chelsi Kern.
