The Power of the Dog (2021): “Banjos, Bickering, and Benedict Being Benedict”

In Episode 7 of Can I Change My Score, Sophie and Matt tackle The Power of the Dog and somehow manage to turn a brooding Western into a comedy of errors. They fumble through intros like it's an Olympic sport, ponder whether Benedict Cumberbatch is a better cowboy or cucumber, and admire his method acting dedication (spoiler: he really committed to the smell). Sophie swoons over the sweeping vistas; Matt debates if it’s too much acting and not enough movie. Meanwhile, both agree that the banjo deserves its own Oscar. Verdict? A slow-burning Western sprinkled with accidental laughs.
