Our new theme this cycle is 'The Long Journey'. We'll be watching movies where the characters undergo an extensive journey, whether literal or figurative, leading to self-discovery or transformation.
This week the shakeup is 'unlikely heroes' and the movie is 'Beau Is Afraid'. Written and directed by Ari Aster, Joaquin Phoenix stars as Beau, a mild-mannered but anxiety-ridden man. Following the sudden death of his mother we see Beau confront his darkest fears as he embarks on an epic odyssey back home.
As usual we discuss the film and all kinds of other topics so strap in and join us on this long journey.
