The Phantom of the Open (2022): New Movie Discussion

Jeff, John and Dave celebrate the renaissance of golf with a giant F-U to the LIV golf tour. Just kidding! We talk about an incredibly charming movie that is more character study than sports movie, yet with all the perks of both. Mark Rylance, perhaps the greatest living English-speaking actor, paired with a luminous Sally Hawkins & antagonized by a yuppy Rhys Ifans, star in this Craig Roberts film about a crane driver (operator) in a working class coastal English town who decides to take up golf by entering The British Open in 1976. Based on a true story! Script by Simon Farnaby who co-wrote Paddington 2, so you know it’s well a jolly well done job!
