The Butler Did It: Angel Has Fallen and the Phases of Gerard

In the first I'm Talking Here! deep dive anatomy of an actor, the Joshes pay tribute to a modern 90s-style action star who nobody ever thinks about enough, Gerard Butler. First, they dig into the strange series of contradictions in his Fallen franchise, because Josh B. has seen the world's #1 movie right now Angel Has Fallen (2019), and has a case to make for why these movies are fun despite being partly gross. Then, it's a discussion of the greater Butler oeuvre, and Josh M. presents a unified theory of the four phases of Gerard: Most Supportive Butler, Win Butler, Underbutler, and The Butler Did It. With tangent admiration shouts to Timeline (2003), P.S. I Love You (2007), and How to Train Your Dragon (2010) as they go through the timeline (2003), you'll find that unlike in the current housing market, there's a Butler for everyone. The Bytowne is playing Balloon (2018), a film about a daring balloon escape from East Germany during the Cold War. You can also catch My Neighbour Totoro (1988) and The Blues Brothers (1980) at the Cineplex South Keys. Next week: IT: Chapter Two.
