KnockBack, Episode 153: The Royal Tenenbaums
Added 2021-01-11 17:00:04 +0000 UTCIn the late '90s and early '00s, writer and director Wes Anderson came out swinging with his beloved comedies Bottle Rocket and Rushmore. His third film, however -- 2001's The Royal Tenenbaums -- is perhaps his most beloved project, a movie all about an equally talented and troubled family of two estranged parents, three peculiar adult children, and a small group of outsiders that make up their wider clan. The Royal Tenenbaums is a hysterical flick, but it's also deep, moody, and meaningful. Let's discuss.

Life Aquatic is amazing, especially if you're a fan of Bill Murray. Andersons bizzare and subtle comedy really shines as well. I think you would like it and I would love to hear a future Knockback on it.

2021-01-13 21:14:35 +0000 UTCI really do need to sit and watch Life Aquatic. It's weird I've not seen it (I don't think).

2021-01-13 20:44:07 +0000 UTCDuly noted. Honestly, those are probably the easiest episodes with the least amount of prep-time. Doing more of them would be easier for us; but I don't think that's what this show is. I like peppering them in, but I want the series to largely circulate around products. Thank you for your support!

2021-01-13 20:43:09 +0000 UTCI love this movie and most of Wes Andersons work. This film along with Bottle Rocket and Life Aquatic were really important for me and my closests friends growing up, we watched them over and over and quoted them endlessly. Also, we probably thought we were very smart for getting the subtle and quirky humor at such an early age, just a bunch of pre-hipsters i suppose..

2021-01-12 02:19:41 +0000 UTCI love the "one of" episodes of Knockback but would REALLY love to see more general discussions on nostalgia topics from the Moriarty brothers. My favorite episodes are the ones where you guys reminisce on life in the 80s and 90s, the video store episode, or the episodes on school, the pool, best friends and music of the era. I understand these are probably more difficult to build out, but maybe put one in rotation every month or so. Love you guys. Just upped my contribution to account for the VAST entertainment you give weekly.

2021-01-11 22:05:18 +0000 UTCThere's a streaming dispute over the show right now, so it's not available anywhere. So, don't expect it until that's resolved! =\

2021-01-11 17:51:13 +0000 UTCWell, add that to the long list of films I never would have gotten around to watching if it weren't for KnockBack.
