This week on episode #161 of The Harsh Language Podcast, we review Blue Moon, a film that completely defied our expectations by avoiding every tired biopic trope in the book. While we walked in expecting another sanitized tribute, Richard Linklater delivered a gritty, real-time character study that forced us to reconsider everything we thought we knew about the biopic genre. We dive into how the 90-minute "hangout" format creates a brutal, honest look at fame and obsolescence.

We also break down why Wonder Man is officially Marvel's best project in years. Plus, we discuss the historic milestone for John Carpenter’s The Thing and pay tribute to the legendary Catherine O’Hara.
