Palm Springs, The Last Thing He Wanted: It Was The Best of Film, It Was The Worst of Film (of 2020)

In our second episode of our Oscars/Razzies mashup, we prove how professional we are by using co-host Jeff's backup phone voice memo audio because his file got royally screwed during our recording. Deepest apologies to you, and may God have mercy on his soul. We begin with a discussion of indie darling Palm Springs, starring Andy Samberg, Cristin Milioti and JK Simmons, available now on Hulu, and how enjoyable, moving, funny and rewatchable this film is. We then discuss a potential Razzie nominee (I'd bet against a nomination, but we'll see), The Last Thing He Wanted, starring Anne Hathaway, Rosie Perez, Ben Affleck, Willem Dafoe and Toby Jones. It was directed and co-written by Dee Rees, her first movie since Mudbound in 2017, bought in 2018 by Netflix, adapted from a successful Joan Didion, yet somehow got terrible reviews. Was it really that bad?
