Cinematic Omniverse

144 - Kumar Pullana

There's never been another character actor like Kumar Pullana (1918-2013). Glimpsed briefly in the revolutionary jungles of Mexico, he burst forth decades later from the brain of Wes Anderson, juggling, tumbling, and stabbing folks left and right. Join Marty and Scott for a star-studded tour of the Kumar Cluster! * Romance & Cigarettes (2005, Dir. John Turturro) at 4:01 * The Royal Tenenbaums (2001, Dir.

142 - Robert Redford Part 2 of 2

In the concluding episode of their Robert Redford duology, Scott and Marty spend a disproportionate amount of time snickering over a suggestive bit of production design in a 40-year-old movie. THAT'S the Cinematic Omniverse advantage! Also, we praise and bury four of RR's standout performances, as follows: * Legal Eagles (1986, Dir. Ivan Reitman) at 1:41 * Sneakers (1992, Dir. Phil Alden Robinson) at 16:31 * All is Lost (2013, Dir. J.C. Chandor) at 31:24 * The Old Man and the Gun (2018, Dir. David Lowery) at 43:29 * Continuity Boulevard (59:02) * The Lightning Round (1:06:02) Follow us on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, or Amazon Music.
