The Good House and Bros

Sigourney Weaver gives an award-worthy performance as an alcoholic real estate agent in "The Good House," which HCC film professors Marie Westhaver and Mike Giuliano discuss in this podcast episode. Although Weaver and frequent co-star Kevin Kline as a former boyfriend work together extremely well here, some of the other characters and plot elements are not quite as satisfying. Marie and Mike also talk about "Bros," a gay romcom starring Billy Eichner and Luke Macfarlane. The subject matter is bold in terms of mainstream Hollywood releases, but Marie and Mike agree that one reason the film is somewhat disappointing is that it ultimately adheres to predictable romcom conventions.
