In this episode of Whose Filmography is it Anyway? Josh and Steven cover Wes Anderson's landmark film, The Royal Tenenbaums. This star-studded quirky melodrama tells the story of Royal Tenenbaum (Gene Hackman) trying to reconnect with his children (Ben Stiller, Luke Wilson, and Gwyneth Paltrow) and ex-wife (Anjelica Huston). All of which are going through their own personal grievances. The synopsis makes the film sound more glum than it is. It is as witty as it is heartfelt.
