Episode 526: "Duchess" and "The Instigators"

Spoilerpiece Theatre

Because of some truly bizarre audio difficulties this week, Megan was unable to join us. Which is a bummer! Because she had things to say about both movies on the docket. First, Dave talks about DUCHESS (2:35), directed by Neil Marshall and written by Marshall and its star, Charlotte Kirk. And how is it? Well, it's dog shit! Like most of Marshall's movies! Ho ho! Then Evan and Dave talk THE INSTIGATORS (14:41), a Boston crime comedy that goes out of its way to be very Boston-crimey and Boston-funny, but doesn't quite do either well! Just how much charisma do Matt Damon and Casey Affleck have to exude in order to sell this farce? More than they do! More than they do, gang. (At least we get some good scenes with Hong Chau.) And because we had audio difficulties, the Patreon bonus episode didn't turn out (clicking, clacking, and buzzing; it was weird). But we'll figure out what's wrong with it so this kind of thing doesn't happen again. And we're so sorry! But please know we're taking care of it. Thanks for understanding, everyone!
