Duimpjeworstelen


Professioneel filmfan Ruud Vos gaat elke week babbelen met een toffe gast, met wie hij van mening verschilt over een film. Nieuw of oud, het maakt niet uit. En het gesprek mag verder alle kanten op gaan.

Jul 28, 2020

Two nations far apart connect in a weird way. It's the story of both this episode and the film we discuss in it. This is the very first game of Thumb Wrestling across nine timezones ever. The game has gone Transatlantic, baby! And the movie shows a weird connectedness between an aging partygirl in the U.S. and a monster in South Korea.

Our friendly podguest in this week's show is Hollywood actor Galen Howard! You may have seen him in guest parts in tv-shows Agents of Shield or Brooklyn Nine-Nine. But more probably you saw him dance with Justin Timberlake. That's right, he's in the music video of Can't Stop the Feeling!, that was helmed by One Hour Photo-director Mark Romanek.

He and host Ruud hash it out, over probably the least known of the three monster-stand-in-for-trauma-films of 2016 and 2017. Colossal stars Anne Hathaway as partying drunk Gloria. While she's wasted at night, a monster pops up in Seoul and tramples on South Koreans, mimicking her exact movements. Is she in control? (Pun intended...)

Also, we touch on what corona is doing to California, breaking the rules in filmmaking and we hazard into some educated guesswork on the Twelve-Step Program. So, great fun!
