This episode we check in at The Grand Budapest Hotel! Earl and Patrick discuss Wes Anderson’s latest film, compare it with the rest of his works, take a crack at the Great Artist Theory, and speculate on the future for the director. As well, not only do they screw up actors’ names, but even the accuracy of a person’s existence. They also manage to bring up Martin Scorsese, Bob Dylan, and True Detective to the mix. (Some spoilers for this episode.)
