If you've always hoped to see a combination of Shia LaBeouf and backyard wrestling with a Huckleberry Finn framework, The Peanut Butter Falcon is your answer. This debut by Tyler Nilson and Michael Schwartz (who both wrote and directed) has such a huge heart. Their film is compassionate and loves all its quirky characters, including real-life wrestlers Jake Roberts and Mick Foley. As far as the leading characters go, Dakota Johnson is warm and charming in one of her best performances, but it's the chemistry between LaBeouf and newcomer Zack Gottsagen that makes the movie work. Okay, so what about that ending? Is it real? Is it fantasy? Something else? We discuss. So run away from retribution, launch a raft, eat some peanut butter and practice your wrestling moves as you listen to us heap praise on this delightful indie hit.

Who remembers this awesome episode from earlier this year?! Listen (or listen again) for an amazing interview about an amazing self-advocate/celebrity! Enjoy.. You've seen Zack Gottsagen on the big screen during his hit movie, The Peanut Butter Falcon, and you've seen him onstage at the Oscars, but have you ever wondered about the woman who's supported him since the beginning? In this VERY special interview, we're talking to Zack's mom, Shelley Gottsagen, who's been shouting his worth boldly for 34 years. Not only was Zack the FIRST person with Down Syndrome to present an Academy Award on stage at the Oscars, he was the FIRST person with DS to be fully included in his elementary school, then the first to attend a prestigious performing arts school for middle school. And when he auditioned for a performing arts high school and didn't get it in, his mom fought back. Knowing her son was talented enough, she investigated and found out that the school had never let a person with a disability in before. She took this information straight to civil court, and Zack started at that high school the next year. Tune in to hear more about a lifetime of self-advocacy, fighting systems, Zack's relationship with Shia Lebeouf, The Oscars, Peanut Butter Falcon, what's next for Zack, and so much more. __ SHOW NOTES Watch Zack present an award at the Oscars with co-star Shia Labeouf here.

Menschen mit Behinderungen sind in Hollywood selten vertreten. "The Peanut Butter Falcon" geht aber einen anderen Weg und erzählt deshalb ein Südstaaten-Märchen mit Zack Gottsagen in der Hauptrolle. Kann uns das moderne Märchen überzeugen? Wir schauen uns auch noch an, wie unterschiedlich Kammerspiele realisiert werden können, bei welchen Filmen wir uns dachten “What the Fuck” - und welche Filme zwar wie Kinderfilme anmuten, jedoch keinesfalls als solche gesehen werden sollten. _______________________________________ SPOILERWARNUNGEN: (1:19:52) bis (1:32:16): I Kill Giants (1:44:20) bis (1:56:26): Wenn die Gondeln Trauer tragen (2:19:10) bis zum Ende: The Peanut Butter Falcon _______________________________________ Hauptfilm (2:19): The Peanut Butter Falcon [2019] Kammerspiele: (17:18): Intro zu: Kammerspiele (20:03): Der Gott des Gemetzels [2011] (29:37): Das Fenster zum Hof [1954] (41:25): Das Ding aus einer anderen Welt [1982] Vermeintliche Kinderfilme: (57:12): Intro zu: Vermeintliche Kinderfilme (58:15): Felidae [1994] (1:04:32): Unten am Fluss [1978] (1:14:24): I Kill Giants [2017] WHAT THE FUCK?!: (1:32:22): Intro zu: WHAT THE FUCK?!

Imagine Mark Twain's “Huckleberry Finn,” only with a crab-pot thief and a young man with Down syndrome, instead of Tom and Huck. And instead of the mighty Mississippi, imagine the estuaries of North Carolina. And instead of skipping school to run away, imagine running away to attend school (well, wrestling school). That's the plot of a new indie film, directed by Tyler Nilson and Michael Schwartz, and starring no less than Shia LaBeouf and Dakota Johnson. “The Peanut Butter Falcon” is not only beautifully shot and set, its message is badly needed in a culture like ours. The film stars newcomer Zack Gottsagen, who plays the role of a 22-year-old man with Down syndrome, who escapes a nursing home to chase his dream of becoming a professional wrestler named, you guessed it, The Peanut Butter Falcon. Along the way, he gets mixed up with Shia LaBeouf's character, a guy on the run from a pair of revenge-hungry fishermen. Against all odds, these two “fugitives” forge a brotherly bond and eventually come to understand that their journey is more of a pilgrimage than an escape. Dakota Johnson's character is Eleanor, an educated caregiver bent on chasing Zak down and returning him to state supervision. When she finally catches up with him and his new friend, she's surprised to learn that Zak's not only happy, he's a pretty good fisherman. And so, just as Zak forces Tyler to question his identity as a bad guy, he also forces Eleanor to question her well-meaning but stifling, overly-clinical approach to Zak's condition, one that leads her to miss something important: Zak, himself. Ultimately, she joins in on this pilgrimage to find “the Saltwater Redneck's” wrestling school. Through hijinks and scrapes, they learn that human beings can't be defined by their guilty consciences, or their college degrees, or even their chromosomal disorders. That's a lot to get across in a single movie, which “The Peanut Butter Falcon” does beautifully, without being in-your-face or preachy. The story and characters bring the message, while everything else from the camera work, to the directing, to the music creates the space necessary for the message to be heard. At the same time, the reality of life with disability is brought to life here too. Zack Gottsagen not only plays a title character who has Down syndrome, he really does have Down syndrome. When his character faces rejection and ridicule, and is relegated to a facility, he's portraying what is, for far too many people, reality. It's this down-to-earth portrayal that makes this a movie worth seeing. As is the story behind the film. In a compelling interview on a website called the Playlist, the writer-directors describe how they met and worked with Zak on a short film they made for a camp with people with disabilities. Zak became a friend and told them he wanted to be a movie star. Knowing how hard it is for anyone to make it in Hollywood, much less someone with disabilities, they tried to dissuade him. But Zak simply replied, “Cool. Sounds like we've got to do it together. You [guys] can write and direct, and I can be the movie star.” So, they wrote “The Peanut Butter Falcon” to make Zak a movie star. It's cool enough that such a crazy idea actually worked, but the fact that this film was produced on such a tiny budget offers a lesson that all Hollywood, and especially Christian filmmakers, should embrace: Budget constraints are no excuse for telling bad stories or churning out bad art. Now, I'll warn you that this film does include some salty language, including a word that would have earned an R-rating once upon a time. It's definitely not a movie for younger kids. Still, in a culture like ours in which the overwhelming majority of children diagnosed with Down syndrome in the womb are targeted for abortion, a film that affirms the value we all share as image-bearers, and the needs we all share as people who are created for community, is especially timely and especially important.
Zack Gottsagen is a young man with Down syndrome who is persistently trying to escape from his care facility in order to go meet his idol, a professional wrestler named the Salt Water Redneck (Thomas Haden Curch), who runs a wrestling school in Florida, hoping to fulfill his dream of becoming a pro wrestler himself. Along the way from the shores of North Carolina, he meets a wayward neer-do-well named Tyler (Shia LaBeouf), who is on the run after practically destroying the business of a local crab fisherman. Meanwhile, a woman who works at the care facility named Eleanor (Dakota Johnson) is tasked with tracking down Zak before he gets himself into further trouble, leading to a conflict between Zak's quest to meet his idol, Tyler's desire to help him while avoiding his comeuppance, and Eleanor's quest to do what her employers ask without making things worse for the resident she cares for.
Josh is joined by recurring guest Daniel Lima to talk about two movies, “Dora and the Lost City of Gold” and “The Peanut Butter Falcon.” First, they discuss “Dora and the Lost City of Gold” and how it manages to appeal to an audience both young and old, Isabela Moner's performance as the lead character, the interesting voice cameos and much more! Then, they talk about “The Peanut Butter Falcon” and how first time writer/directors Tyler Wilson and Michael Schwartz told a heartfelt story about a young man with down syndrome who inspires many in his life in a way that does not feel exploitative with the help of great performances from Shia LaBeouf and newcomer Zack Gottsagen.
