Ep. 27 - Bottle Rocket (1996)

This week we're covering another debut film from the year 1996 (go check out our episode on BOUND for the first of these), made by one of the most important filmmakers of his generation, Wes Anderson. It's BOTTLE ROCKET (#16 on the board). Its not just Anderson's debut either, as this film introduced the world to his childhood friends and collaborators Owen and Luke Wilson. A sweet little film that is well worth your time, not just for the historical context.
