UW Film Club Podcast #72: Rushmore

“I guess you’ve just gotta find something you love to do and then… do it for the rest of your life. For me, it’s to podcast!”

With the school year coming to a close, we decided we will be kicking off our 2021 summer podcast series with a look back to our high school angst with Wes Anderson’s second feature film ‘Rushmore.’ In this episode, special guest Natalia Owen talks about why it’s her favorite film as we delve into the whimsicality of Wes Anderson, the complex characterizations that Anderson is able to create, and debate whether this is the most grounded work of his oeuvre. Check out our 72nd episode and get a glimpse of Cynthia’s existential quandary of “Why Wes Anderson?”

On this episode: Cynthia Li, Joel Garcia, Stephanie Chuang, Rohan Patel, and Natalia Owen
