Then, they channel their inner grumpy old men and talk about "A Man Called Otto" (34:37-End) and whether they bought America's Dad Tom Hanks playing a neighborhood grouch, if the movie's flashback with Hanks' son Truman playing the younger version of his character served the story well, how the movie managed its tones in juggling comedic moments with sensitive subject matter such as suicide attempts and much more!
