Kelsi and Trey discuss David Robert Mitchell’s The End of Oak Street and Matt Johnson’s Tony. First, they unpack why The End of Oak Street’s strange mix of Spielbergian sentimentality, camp, parody, dinosaurs, and suburban satire never fully worked for them. Then, they get into Tony, Dominic Sessa’s performance as a young Anthony Bourdain, Leo Woodall and Antonio Banderas as competing versions of masculinity, the movie’s “huge boy” energy, and whether a biopic can really deconstruct a cultural icon without mythologizing him all over again.
