Overworked and underemployed philosophers and cinephiles, Rob and David, discuss movies and philosophy. Part movie club, part philosophy seminar, we're really just in it to watch the flicks we love, and hope you’ll join in.

CinePhils, Take 27: Wes Anderson’s Grand Budapest Hotel and The Life Aquatic, or “Viewmaster”
Actually it is take 27, we’ve been away for too long. Nostalgia, simplicity, yearning, and a bit of humanity is the cure for cynicism. Also, well constructed cinematic, symmetrical camera work and such.
