Show Notes
Jim Groom and Michael Branson Smith unpack Wes Anderson’s The Royal Tenenbaums as a story about adult children trapped inside the myth of their own childhood genius and a father desperate to rewrite himself back into relevance, while asking whether Anderson’s ironic stylization deepens or dilutes the emotional stakes of estranged parents and adult children.
