Episode 204: Being the Ricardos, Last Night in Soho + The French Dispatch - a podcast by Film Buds

Hey film buds,

Beyond reviewing the Movies We Missed in 2021, we are also examining specific idea per episode. Today, we're looking at Period Films depicting stories from the 20th Century, across different genres from multiple directors. We are looking at three films crossing three decades.

First, we are talking about Being the Ricardos from Aaron Sorkin; a biopic on Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz in the fifties. Second is Edgar Wright's horror film Last Night in Soho, depicting the Swinging Sixties. We finish off our discussion with Wes Anderson's most recent film, and ode to journalists, The French Dispatch.

Each film had a dedicated team of people to help establish a sense of time period, and we want to answer the question "How does a film create historic periods accurately?" We also praise the Creative Teams that achieved it, talk about What We're Watching, and more.

We also have episode on Wes Anderson's The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou, The Royal Tenenbaums, and Edgar Wright's Baby Driver, Shaun of the Dead, and Hot Fuzz.

Also, be sure to check out last week's episode.

Thanks y'all,

The Buds

PS This episode is dedicated to Amun Ra, and all the lost pets
