Should…should I be watching old-person movies now??
Welcome to part 2 of our discussion of Sneakers. In it we discuss the unfortunate casting tropes of women in caper movies, how we (or one of us) have gotten to the age where we say “warmth” wrong, how we (or one of us) have gotten to the age where we enjoy “old guy movies”, and how the magic of good casting can really add up to greater than the sum of its parts. Also, how do you make a movie about hacking interesting when watching someone type is not so interesting? Fear not, listeners, for we have solved these problems for you.
