This week, we take a look at Joe Swanberg’s 2013 film Drinking Buddies. We talk about improvising, Olivia Wilde’s jawline, burnt condoms filled with gas, why we like hearing people’s reactions to this movie, and discuss our differing readings on the film’s ending. Then we look at the mumblecore movement, what’s good about it in theory but not in practice, and why Drinking Buddies elevates that style of film.
