Episode 121: Mr. and Mrs. Smith: Does it Hold up?

Published: March 4, 2022, 6 a.m.

Andi and Lise unpack the 2005 spy/assassin romance movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith, starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and determine that it holds up in some ways but not in others, particularly with regard to gender roles. But on sheer character chemistry, Jolie and Pitt are an excellent action duo.\xa0

Shout-outs: Lise has been playing a lot of Mario Kart, and finds it\u2019s an excellent mindless escape from\u2026well, everything. Andi has been watching The Gilded Age on HBO Max, and notes that things really haven\u2019t changed all the much in terms of the American racialized caste system, but following the individual characters navigating social and economic change is interesting.\xa0
