Summary

Buckle up because we're kicking off "Toxic Masculinity Month" with a doozy: Michael Haneke's polarizing 1997 home invasion film Funny Games (but it's okay if you watched the remake instead because they're the exact same film). Helping us parse through these waters is Justin Nordell! Join us as we offer a brief primer on Haneke before going all in on this twisted and cruel little film that holds a mirror up to its audience and makes us question the responsibility of media when it comes to violence. From the fourth wall breaks to the infamous rewind scene, Funny Games is one of the most satisfying, if infuriating, viewing experiences you're ever going to have. Questions? Comments? Snark? Connect with the boys on Twitter, Instagram, Youtube, Letterboxd, Facebook, or join the Facebook Group to get in touch with other listeners > Trace: @tracedthurman > Joe: @bstolemyremote > Justin: @jnordell / Be sure to support the boys on Patreon! Theme Music: Alexander Nakarada
