49: The 400 Blows (Les quatre cents coups) (1959) and The Squid and the Whale (2005)

Published: Dec. 16, 2020, 3 a.m.

This week's theme is neglected kids (or bad parenting).

Matt and Adam slightly disagree about the 400 Blows. Matt hails it as groundbreaking and Truffaut as a rebellious genius. Adam does not quite get it and wanted the kid to be worse.\xa0 The ending is open for interpretation. The guys agree that the Squid and the Whale is Baumbach at his finest - a tight film with biting humor. Jeff Daniels is a beast. It's the little things. "How's your grip, my brotha?"

Next week: A retrospective - we choose the top 5 recommendations from the other guy.
