"It's Mom and me versus you and Dad"
As we reach the end of our series on "F*cked Up Families", what better way to see it off than with one of the definitive movies about the toxic effects of divorce? For this episode, The Movie Newbie boys are graced – for a SECOND TIME – with an appearance from our beloved friend of the show Neringa Mikutytė to chat about Noah Baumbach's breakthrough dramedy The Squid & the Whale. Featuring career-best performances from Jeff Daniels and Jesse Eisenberg, it's a bitterly funny, quietly sad semi-autobiographical story about two young boys coping with the implosion of their parent's marriage in 1980s New York. (It also happens to be one of Oliver's favourite movies!) Listen to hear us all get real about familial history, discuss our favourite songs as teenagers, and struggle to pronounce... ANNA PAQUIN!
