Swiss Army Man

Super Film Bros

What's going on super film fans! The boys are back at again this week with another addition to our request line up this month, with a new episode on 2016's Swiss Army Man starring Daniel Radcliffe and Paul Dano. We've got special guest Rick Flair 2.0 on the show again this time around and after a quick discussion on our possible future Twitch endeavors we get to our news segment The Weekly Hornet.

Swiss Army Man is a very peculiar film and I'm not really sure what to classify it as. Possibly a comedy-drama/adventure flick? I have no idea but I digress. A quick low down on the synopsis will give you a better idea of just how avant-garde this selection is and how it's often a love it or hate it affair in many, many ways. Dano plays Hank, a man who is attempting to commit suicide after being lost on a deserted island, when he sees a corpse, portrayed by Radcliffe, wash ashore. He begins to develop a friendship with the dead body and discovers that he can manipulate the cadaver to accomplish many different tasks just like a Swiss Army knife.

And there you have it, an unusual premise for sure. Whether you find this story disturbing or endearing all depends on your sense of humor or understanding of it's metaphor laden subtext. The film can be taken and or enjoyed in a multitude of ways, if you want something ridiculous to watch or if you really want to analyze its deeper symbolism you can do that too. To find out what the crew had to say be sure and listen in.

We'll be back next week with our final request selection this month so be on the lookout to see what it is! Thanks again you guys!
