American Beauty

This week we discuss the 1999 American black comedy drama film American Beauty directed by Sam Mendes in his directorial debut.

Winner of 5 oscars this movie stars Kevin Spacey as Lester Burnham, an advertising executive who has a midlife crisis when he becomes infatuated with his teenage daughter's best friend, played by Mena Suvari.

Annette Bening stars as Lester's materialistic wife, Carolyn, and Thora Birch plays their insecure daughter, Jane.

Wes Bentley, Chris Cooper, and Allison Janney co-star.

This is an interesting movie, subject matter and podcast debate in light of Kevin Spacey's sexual misconduct accusations and subsequent not guilty verdict.

But is he still guilty in the court of public opinion? The Aussie thinks so.

We discuss mid life crisis - not giving a f^&k and letting loose.

We have a big debate about Annette Benning and her OCD or not OCD - would you in the height of passion tell someone their beer is about to spill and ruin the moment?

And the Aussie gives maybe the worst and most incoherent wrap we have ever heard!

Check this one it's a classic even if we do say so ourselves.
