Summary

For this week's main podcast review, I am joined by Dan Bayer & Adriano Caporusso. This week we're reviewing the second feature film from Academy Award-winning filmmaker Florian Zeller, "The Son," starring Hugh Jackman, Laura Dern, Vanessa Kirby, Zen McGrath & Anthony Hopkins. Ever since its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival, the film has received mixed to negative reactions for its depictions of teenage suicide, performances, and writing. Coming off the heels of the critically acclaimed film "The Father," we discuss what went wrong, what could've been improved upon and how the two films compare in Zeller's filmography.
