Summary

For our second podcast review this week, I am joined by Nicole Ackman, Daniel Howat & guest Isaac Feldberg to discuss the latest film from Wes Anderson, "The French Dispatch." Starring a large ensemble, which includes Benicio del Toro, Adrien Brody, Tilda Swinton, Léa Seydoux, Frances McDormand, Timothée Chalamet, Jeffrey Wright, Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, and a bunch of others, the film is presented as an anthology of separate stories paying tribute to journalism. What did we think of the craft on display, the stories themselves, the performances, where Wes Anderson finds himself at this stage in his career, and the film's Oscar prospects? We discuss all of these points and more in our review, which you can listen to down below. Enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
