Show Notes
Roofman tells the real-life story of Jeffrey Manchester — a man who escaped prison and spent months living inside a Toys “R” Us. In this episode, Popcorn Podcast reviews how Roofman blends heist thrills, emotional stakes and nostalgia in a way that’s equal parts unsettling and captivating.
Let's discuss:
- Why Channing Tatum’s performance might be his most daring yet.
- The film’s tonal balancing act between humour and empathy.
- What makes Roofman a compelling true-crime drama.
- Nostalgic callbacks to Toys “R” Us and 2000s pop culture.
- Whether it's right to be rooting for the criminal.
