Long Shot

Lisa and Charles Adrian love June Diane Raphael, Lisa Kudrow and also, to a large extent, the Charlize Theron/Seth Rogen vehicle that is Long Shot. Those are the main take-aways from this episode.   Year: 2019 Writers: Dan Sterling and Liz Hannah Based on a story by: Dan Sterling Director: Jonathan Levine Stars: Charlize Theron, Seth Rogen, June Diane Raphael, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Ravi Patel   Show notes:   Note: We record these episodes over the internet and the sound quality in this episode is not always perfect. Our apologies.   In this episode, we talk a lot about how much we love June Diane Raphael, who has a crucial supporting role in Long Shot as Maggie Millikin, the chief aide to Charlize Theron’s character (Secretary) Charlotte Field. We also talk about how much we love Lisa Kudrow, who has a short and memorable cameo as a pollster. And we get into the nitty-gritty of how we might go about fixing two or three of the small but intensely irritating problems with the film as a whole.   Oh, and we do also talk about how much we like this film. We really do like this film.   In this episode, Charles Adrian makes a comparison with a climactic scene from Notting Hill (1999) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0125439/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0) and Lisa mentions a previous Seth Rogen vehicle Knocked Up (2007) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0478311/).   Music in this episode is by Martin Zaltz Austwick (martinzaltzaustwick.com).
