In Episode 231 below, we review The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, Support the Girls, Monsters and Men, Bathtubs Over Broadway, Incredibles 2, and Mortal Engines. Lots to cover on this week’s show as award season races toward the finish line for BOFCA! First up, we hear from Dave who calls in with his thoughts on The Ballad of Buster Scruggs (2:00). Then Kris makes a hard case for Support the Girls (8:25), which was a hit on the festival circuit but ought to be way more widely seen. I walk you through Monsters and Men (19:07), a pretty good take on a story that has nonetheless been covered in more interesting and absorbing ways by other films this year. Kris saw Bathtubs Over Broadway (28:56), a delightful story about one of the oddest phenomena in American entertainment: the industrial musical. I saw Incredibles 2 (35:23) — surprise surprise, it’s good — and Kris wraps things up with Mortal Engines (41:57) — surprise surprise, it’s not.
