The boys head to prison on Devil’s Island to discuss 1973’s “Papillon”! One of the highest-grossing movies of the year, this true-story account of Steve McQueen’s character befriending Dustin Hoffman’s character to help keep each other alive and prepare their escape from the no-chance-of-return prison, a world away from their native France. Made by the team behind Oscar-winner “Patton” from 1971, shot very much on location, some call this McQueen’s best performance. Before we get into it, John gives us a mini-review of “Hamnet”, the romantic drama film by Chloé Zhao starring Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley, based on the book based on the play.
