Episode 186: David O'Russell (feat. Frank & Sean of Film Junk)

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After a slew of bonus episodes, we return to our regularly scheduled program all the way up until the summer. Film Junk’s very own Sean Dwyer and Frank Knezic return to the show for an energetic conversation about a fascinating filmmaker by the name of</span> <a href= "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_O._Russell"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">David O’Russell</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">. No stranger to controversy but also one of the better directors of screwball-style comedy out there. We focus on the majority of his work including</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Three Kings</span></em> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">and then the award-winning romantic dramedy</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Silver Linings Playbook</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">. But we also bring up each of his films throughout the entire conversation as expected. During the newly dubbed, “what we watched recently” segment, I review another time loop teen drama called</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Map of Tiny Pretty Things</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">while Sean caught up with the action-side of that premise with</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Boss Level</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Frank briefly goes through his recent viewings of</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">The Nutty Professor</span></em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">,</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Raya and the Last Dragon</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">and</span> <em><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Attack Of The Murder Hornets</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Lastly, I quickly mention that I couldn’t help but enjoy Soliel Moon Frye’s documentary,</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kid 90</span></em><span style="font-weight: 400;">. As always, it was a complete blast talking to two podcasters who are partially responsible for me getting into podcasting in the first place. </s
