Tearjerker Films - Week 1
š The Critic and the Cynic: Season 2 Premiere! Dave and Hilary are back and diving headfirst into a season dedicated to tearjerkers! š§ This week, they explore two films with emotional depth and distinct storytelling styles: The Lovely Bones (2010) and The Peanut Butter Falcon (2019). From dreamlike visuals and haunting performances in The Lovely Bones to the heartwarming adventure of unlikely friendships in The Peanut Butter Falcon, the hosts reflect on themes of grief, redemption, and the beauty of human connection. š„ Highlights include: Hilary's thoughts on why The Lovely Bones gets a "5 on the cry scale." Dave's admiration for Shia LaBeouf's transformative performance in The Peanut Butter Falcon. Insightful banter on whether emotional punches land differently for the critic vs. the cynic. Fun facts about casting decisions, including Ryan Gosling's surprising involvement in The Lovely Bones. Join us as we laugh, cry (maybe), and debate what makes a movie a true tearjerker. Next week: more films, more feels! š„āØ š§ Listen now! #TheCriticAndTheCynic #PodcastPremiere #Tearjerkers #TheLovelyBones #ThePeanutButterFalcon #MovieDiscussion #FilmLovers #PodcastLife
