First, we both admire the stones of the long-awaited Marvel blockbuster crossover Avengers: Infinity War, which just set a new opening weekend box office record with a haul of $258 million over three days (besting the previous mark of $247.9 million set by Star Wars: The Force Awakens).
Then for an avenger of a much darker sort, there’s Joaquin Phoenix as a deeply troubled vigilante hitman who rescues underage girls from the sex trade, in director Lynne Ramsey‘s latest You Were Never Really Here.
All that, plus I take a quick look at Lean On Pete, a more sobering and realistic portrayal of the “boy and his horse” archetype, from U.K. director Andrew Haigh (45 Years). Also, at the very end of the episode, we play a bonus clip of Haigh giving his pitch for a Marvel movie to Elvis Mitchell, host of KCRW’s “The Treatment“.
