The One Where It's an Entire One-Shot Film! For the podcast's landmark 30th episode, Bradley and Carly are discussing the philosophical dramedy, Birdman, which was edited to look like a one-shot. In the recap, see the unraveling of Riggan (played by Michael Keaton), a fading movie star fighting desperately to get back in the spotlight at the cost of every important relationship in his life. Somehow, Carly finds connections to the movie Matilda, while Bradley discusses Edward Norton's nudity. Plus, an unforgettable monologue by the supernova legend, Emma Stone!! In the 2nd half, the hosts discuss the director, stars, and the 87th Academy Awards. Finally, the podcast heads back to the 1960s for their next film!
