Summary

For our third podcast review this week, I am joined by Josh Parham, Dan Bayer, Ryan C. Showers, Tom O'Brien & Will Mavity. This week, we are reviewing one of the last big Oscar contenders of the 2020 film year, "The Father" starring Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman. Adapted from his own play and making his directorial debut, Florian Zeller has given us a terrifying and dramatically effective look at dementia that is anchored by an all-timer of a performance from Anthony Hopkins. What did we think of the film's cinematic techniques? The performances? Its Oscar potential? Tune in to find out all of this and more! Enjoy!
