Two for the Road: Movies with Matt and Adam

26: The Great Dictator (1940) and JoJo Rabbit (2019)
Text Matt & Adam!
Well, it isn't often that we curse on the show, but this is a big F--- YOU, NAZIS! pod. We start with Charlie Chaplin's first talkie, which has a lot to say. We prefer the verbal satire over the slapstick, which feels dated. Historically this movie is hugely important, but we think that the final speech will likely be the one thing that lives on. It should be given at every graduation, at every level of schooling, forever. JoJo Rabbit has a better sense of humor and irony. It feels absurd and energetic, but it never loses its heart. Every performance is remarkable. And, Hitler gets kicked in the balls (Matt edit: ball).
