Episode 55 - The Phoenician Scheme w/ Aidan

Here, have a hand grenade. Seth is joined by Aidan Kedz to discuss Wes Anderson's latest cinematic journey, The Phoenician Scheme! What's with the wig on Cumberbatch? How does this one stack up against the rest of the oeuvre? Is the story of a businessman that influences politics and avoids the law a little too close to home these days? Also: A nun adorns herself, Benicio del Toro looks great while looking bad and an ode to the opening credits of Tár.
