    Consumed by Ego (Birdman)
    Mar 9 2022

    This week we’re diving into the 2015 Oscar winner Birdman. It’s a look at male ego and we dive into why and if that matters. We also get to flex our film school muscles and talk about the camera work, the score, and the acting. Spoiler alert, Rosey didn’t enjoy it and isn’t good at pretending she did.

    (This is a shorter episode as Avery was both sick and virtual.)

    Next week we’ll be talking about the Netflix’s Bridgerton (season 1)!
