Ben & Rob stay in school with ‘The Holdovers’, the Alexander Payne coming-of-age drama that’s nominated for no less than FIVE Academy Awards! Starring Paul Giamatti, DaVine Joy Randolph and Dominic Sessa in his debut role, ‘The Holdovers’ tells the tale of a curmudgeonly teacher having to stay in school over the Christmas break; to babysit students who are unwanted at home for the holidays. Filled with subtle performances in a career highlight for co-stars Paul Giamatti and DaVine Joy Randolph, we recorded the episode before it came to light this film may have been plagiarised from a script named ‘Frisco’; if it turns out to have all been a big scam we WILL re-record!

Ripoff claims aside, ‘The Holdovers’ might just be the warmest, comfiest film of this decade. So why does director Alexander Payne despise having his film described in those terms? Which of Paul Giamatti’s eyes is lazy and how did they achieve it? And why was Ben spiked by Rob into an eight hour trip?!
