Listener's Choice Volume 002 // Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)

Published: Oct. 4, 2021, noon

We promised you a listener's choice episode four weeks ago on social media. We deliver, while late, still deliver. Listener Nate submitted 2014's Birdman starring Michael Keaton, Edward Norton, and Emma Stone. Jacob and Sage spend most of the episode trying to come to grips and actually get a score for the movie. Tate had already seen this movie and enjoyed it the first watch so gets to explain those reasons. We also get into how people who are critics or review movies are awful people, the merit of blockbuster movies, and more!

This movie was directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu.
