This week we review the 2015 American biographical comedy-drama film Joy written and directed by David O. Russell and starring Jennifer Lawrence as Joy Mangano, a self-made millionaire who created her own business empire.
We start off by discussing the appropriate dress code for a funeral and somehow we end the conversation discussing masturbating over zoom. Don't ask just listen!
As for the film this is not one for the Scotsman - "a semi interesting semi biographical movie" he says.
The Aussie cant believe it.....He loves a good rags to riches story and really can't seem to see past that.
The Scotsman emplores him to dig deeper and to find more within himself - to bring something more that he can discuss about the substance, the essence of the film.
Not a great deal of background work from the Aussie in this one - he needs to lift and the Scotsman lets him know.
This movie is "inspired by the events of daring women". And for that we applaud it.
This one is for entrepreneurs, business owners, people starting out in life and thos with more to give - a rags to riches tale with a great cast.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
