Critique-Opolis
Jay & Louisa deliver a fiery, opinion fueled overview of movies, social movements, cultural behaviors and eating habits - dovetailed with a honey-based recipe and reviews of the most obnoxious movie/media news headlines we can get our eyeballs in front of. For our latest editions, we will be reviewing scripts from the infamous Hollywood 'Black List' (scripts with a ton of 'buzz' that have yet to secure a deal or go into production) - and adding our own casting and story development suggestions.

The Intouchables

We watched the 2011 French Film, the Intouchables, but before we get into that, Jay goes on an absolute, untethered tirade about a run in with a person at market who tried to steal a parking spot from a vendor. You should listen just for that. Jay becomes completely unglued. P.S. He forgot the recipe again (turn in next week, he finally remembered).
The Intouchables is a French buddy comedy drama that explores a transformative relationship from two men from two different socioeconomic backgrounds. Phillippe, a quadriplegic billionaire who struggles with everyday tasks and Driss, a poor immigrant from the wrong side of the tracks who stumbles into the role of Phillippe's caretaker.
What starts off as a contentious relationship soon morphs into a symbiosis that neither man expected, but both men needed. It didn't make me want to be quadriplegic, but it did make me want to be rich.
