We decided to end the summer with another Listeners\u2019 Choice episode and your triumphant film was 2013\u2032s Sundance title\u00a0The Way Way Back<\/i>. The film was another massive Sundance buy for Fox Searchlight, who sold it to audiences very much in the mold of its successful\u00a0Little Miss Sunshine<\/i>. But even with two of\u00a0Sunshine<\/i>\u2019s Toni Collette and Steve Carell among the cast, audiences and critics alike were far less enthusiastic about The Way Way Back\u2019s summer vibes, leaving the film forgotten by year\u2019s end. Well, except by our good friends at the AARP M4Gs.<\/p>\n

The highest praise for the film was granted toward Sam Rockwell, still in the phase of his career as a critics darling before his first Oscar nomination. We get into his newfound typecast as racists, how the film feels like it should be a period piece, and the ethos of festival fever.<\/p>\n

Topics also include the Black List, water park culture, and Allison Janney as various anthropomorphized types of alcohol.<\/p>\n
