Barry Lyndon (1975) & The Great Gatsby (2013)
Season 1, Ep. 45
•
Finn & Uther watch Barry Lyndon (1975), Kubrick's timeless and beautiful period piece on how the rich are terrible, and The Great Gatsby (2013) from Baz Luhrman, a film that's also like that but in a slightly cringe way. Topics covered include: Explosure. Finn "faked" the moon landings. All the great gags in 2001: A Space Odyssey. The best square men. James Gunn is put on trial. Uther gets confessional, once sincerely, once about his Wolverine claws. Absolutely the most batshit Letterboxd review we've yet found. The time Finn tried to burn Moulin Rouge. A lot of talk about camp. Even more talk about whether Nicole Kidman is a "hunk".
