Andrea and Jodie watched The Talented Mr. Ripley, the 1999 psychological thriller that features Jude Law at the height of his powers. We talk about what makes the casting work in a story that depends on believing Tom and Dickie’s strange connection, the beauty of sun-drenched Italy on film, and Jude Law’s perfect face (and terrible hat). There’s also Cate Blanchett being effortlessly delightful, the realization that we maybe haven't given Matt Damon the credit he deserves, and Patricia Highsmith’s stunning lifelong commitment to horrible opinions.
Next week, we’re talking Jennifer’s Body, the horror-comedy revenge cult classic that deserved better the first time around.
