Ep. 119 - André Holland (feat. Josh Outing)

In this episode, the Munsons are joined by first-time guest Munson, Josh Outing, and take a deep dive into the career of Andre Holland, an actor whose project choices are as calculated as his performances are captivating. With a filmography that spans critical darlings and cult TV favorites, Holland’s career showcases a fascinating contrast: sky-high critic and audience ratings paired with head-scratching IMDb scores and minimal box office returns. We break down this odd trajectory and explore how he’s still managed to carve out a niche as one of the most compelling actors of his generation.

From his commanding presence in The Knick and Castle Rock to the emotional resonance of Exhibiting Forgiveness, we marvel at Holland’s control of pacing, tone, and subtlety. We also settle the battle once and for all between DJ Jazzles and DJ Request. How does he rank on the Munson Meter? Listen to find out.
