About this episode

The hosts discuss the film 'Birdman' and its themes while enjoying beers.

This week, the boys head to the St. James Theater on Broadway to discuss “Birdman (Or the Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)”. Alejandro Iñárritu’s film goes meta in one take as Michael Keaton confronts his time as Batman… I mean, his character Riggan Thomson can’t escape his former superhero character, Birdman. This movie rocks. We grab some beers and discuss! linktr.ee/theloveofcinema - Check out our YouTube page! Our phone number is 646-484-9298.
