The Curious Case of Benjamin Button with Richard Lawson
2007\u2019s THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON is a film that dares to ask the question, \u201cWhat if he baby but old?\u201d Despite the meme-ification of David Fincher\u2019s trip to the uncanny valley, we are pleased to make our belated case for why this movie is GOOD, actually, and in step with the themes of Da Finch Man\u2019s body of work - not a sappy outlier. Vanity Fair\u2019s Richard Lawson returns to the podcast as we all grapple with mortality, wistfully opine about tugboats, and develop an absurd running bit about late character actor Orson Bean (who is not in this movie).
