155. The Royal Tenenbaums with special guest Donovan Marcotte - a podcast by Scott and Pete

"I always wanted to be a Tenenbaum, you know?"  We watched The Royal Tenenbaums (2001) with our friend Donovan Marcotte and we're all of us especially *not* a genius. This "quirky" family dramedy is peak Wes Anderson and quote possibly his best film.  Fight us.  We all laugh a little too nervously as Gene Hackman's Royal Tenenbaum eviscerates with words everyone in his path - even his children and ex wife (too real?). Are every hipster couple in their Margot and Richie Halloween costumes missing the point of the movie completely? Maybe. Either way we still wish were an inkling as cool as Margot, as smart as Chas and as sensitive as Richie.  But at the end of the day maybe we're all just Eli Cash watching from the window across the street.
