Moonrise Kingdom – The Review Show 94

This week we watched Wes Anderson’s 2012 feature Moonrise Kingdom. It’s 1965 in a small island town off the eastern US coast. Sam and Suzy are two troubled youths who fall in love through pen pal letters and decide to run away together, prepared with little more than Sam’s scouting knowledge of the island. But they’re being pursued by every adult they know, plus Sam’s entire scout troop, armed with the same tracking skills. This island is preparing itself for the storm of the century, figuratively and literally.

The Whatnauts present The Review Show, a weekly book club style podcast for all sorts of pop culture. We cover a variety of genres and mediums movies, TV shows, comics, anime, manga, audio dramas picking out a specific piece of entertainment that we can cover in a week’s time. Every episode, your intrepid co-hosts Kyle and Melissa dive into the media of the week (with a spoiler warning!), give recommendations, and take turns pitching the next topic. For one episode a month, we check in with continuing coverage on a longer title, like a full TV series or comics run, and follow it all the way to the end. Join us for fun discussions on a wild variety of entertainment you should know!
