What kind of a bird are you? I am so happy Chris Rednour joined me on this episode to talk one of my absolute favorite films of all time: Wes Anderson's 2012 Moonrise Kingdom. But! Not only do we breakdown the movie with important categories ( Favorite performance, what would you change, best scene...) but we also talk about Chris' passion: politics. It's a really fun conversation of where we both find ourselves politically but if you'd rather stick to just the movie stuff you can find that kick off somewhere around the 20 minute mark. Hope you guys enjoy!Find me on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/erichafner/Twitter: https://twitter.com/erichafner89Email: http://eric.hafner89@gmail.com
