Mike is in a tailspin of grief. Jos\xe9 likes Matt Damon and little else. It's Downsizing, a film that looked good in the trailers. Ostensibly a light satire on middle class life and aspiration, it leads us into discussions of its attempt to weave several themes together, its lack of humour, the way it constructs its worlds, whether its use of stereotypes drifts into offensiveness, and most importantly, how unbelievably tedious it is.\n\nMike reminisces about the few movies he saw at the cinema that inspired him enough to leave the film for a bit to play on his phone, or just leave. And\xa0Sideways is rubbish too.\n\nRecorded on 1st February 2018.
