This week on Popcorn Pals, Tim travels to the American South West with freelance film critic Andrew Fraser to discuss Wes Andrerson's latest, Asteroid City. With an all-star cast, lead by Jason Schwartzman, Scarlet Johansson and Tom Hanks, it follows a writer on his world famous fictional play about a grieving father who travels with his tech-obsessed family to small rural Asteroid City to compete in a junior stargazing event, only to have his world view disrupted forever. Tim and Andrew bask in Anderson's trademark whimsical narrative and pastel aesthetic with much to discuss. The pair share their relationship with Anderson as a filmmaker, his unique visual style, the balance of character and tone and a surprising link to Barbenheimer. All this and much more!
