The Thin Man
Talking about The Thin Man--a zany crime comedy and one of the last films to show a couple realistically before the Hayes Code brought censorship to Hollywood.
Message: “The Problem with the Virtuous Hero”
Bryne and JR. recap some of our favorite films of a very good year, then dive into a couple that signal a shift in how we are telling stories as a culture. The Big Short, Sicario and Netflix’ Making a Murderer demonstrate an important shift away from the traditional virtue narrative Americans like so much toward more complicated, complex and honest storytelling. We evaluate this shift, and why we are so excited for it.
