Show Notes

The Cinema Bums are joined by Isaac Beckner to discuss Denis Villeneuve's third film, Polytechnique! This movie is a brutal depiction of the real-life, tragic, gender-focused school shooting at École Polytechnique in 1989. Our trio discusses the impact of the film's violence, how it has aged in the decade since it came out, and the behind-the-scenes journey of working with the real-life survivors. In lighter news, they also end by talking about the House of Gucci trailer. Tune in to hear Emmet lead a historic quiz, Wade make an unforgivable mistake in said quiz, and Isaac take us through some of the most exciting photography in this movie. Thank you for listening, and please enjoy!
