C’mon C’mon & Jackass Forever (Movie Squad Podcast #62)

Tristan Fidler and Simon Miraudo take on black-and-white indie cinema and a gut-busting prank show in this week’s Movie Squad podcast.

(Breakfast host Taylah Strano even chimes in with her take on the new video game adaptation Uncharted, starring Tom Holland.)

But first, Tristan reviews Mike Mills’ semi-autobiographical C’mon C’mon, starring Joaquin Phoenix as a documentarian who looks after his estranged sister’s son (played by Woody Norman) and discovers the highs and lows of parenting. But is Joaquin’s Big Uncle Energy enough to make the film worthwhile?

Then, Simon explains why Jackass Forever is better than “four or five” of 2022’s Best Picture Oscar nominees. Can he convince Taylah and Tristan that this latest entry in the gross-out stunt-and-prank franchise is actually a “triumph of the human spirit”? Listen in to find out!

Both films are now showing in Australian cinemas.
