It’s the most inanimate time of the year! Kicking off our new Anthology series - Movies Set at Christmas, That Aren’t Christmas Movies - the boys revisit one of their all-time favourites: In Bruges (2008). Tommy’s been watching Diddy: The Reckoning (it’s… a lot), while DL’s juggling The Wheel of Time: Book 2 andTrue Grit the OG, both highly recommended. Then it’s time to check into Belgium’s darkest fairy tale, where the snow is festive, but the mood is not.Timecodes:(00:00) Intro(06:50) What Have You Been Up To?(20:50) MAIN TOPIC: In Bruges (2013)(22:00) Stupid Plot Summary(25:40) Plot(29:30) One human, the rest are Muppets?(30:38) Acclaim vs Success(40:40) Characters(45:30) Direction(50:31) Four Oscar Nominees...(51:53) TRIVIA: Fake or Not Fake?(57:17) Miscellaneous Notes(59:19) Tones & Themes(1:03:35) 3 Best & 3 Worst(1:08:17) Critical Reception(1:08:26) Better or Worse than Aquaman (2018)?(1:09:17) Better or Worse than Aquaman (2018)?(1:10:01) Trivia True or False(1:14:09) Wrapping UpMain Topic:In Bruges is Martin McDonagh’s pitch-black comedy about guilt, purgatory, and accidentally kicking a dwarf. Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson shine as two hitmen laying low after a job gone wrong, while Ralph Fiennes turns up to scream about principles. It’s foul-mouthed, funny, and somehow heartfelt, like Home Alone if Kevin had PTSD and a Browning. DL calls it a masterpiece. Tommy would probably fight someone over that opinion. Everyone agrees: this is not a Christmas movie—but it kind of is.Is In Bruges the best anti-Christmas Christmas movie ever made? Let us know at
