On this episode we talk  about one of our favorite films of the year, Andrew Bujalski’s RESULTS. This film is about two personal trainers played by Guy Pearce and Cobie Smulders whose lives are altered when a rich client arrives seeking to improve himself but finding the trainers themselves to be searching for something as well. This inspires a conversation on benefactors in film, and we start with the grandaddy of them all in Charles Dickens' GREAT EXPECTATIONS. It goes up against James Gray’s latest love triangle set in a world of crime, with Joaquin Phoenix and Jeremy Renner both promising a better life for Marion Cotillard in THE IMMIGRANT. We also debate the effect that crickets and a computer fan can have on the sound quality of a podcast.

On this episode we face unemployment with the help of friends, family, and Marion Cotillard's great performance in the new Criterion Collection release TWO DAYS, ONE NIGHT. Not content with the support of just one film we also look back to 1999's comedy classic (as certified by the Library of Congress) OFFICE SPACE, and rely on a scumbag named Vincent who has some decent driving skills in 2001's TIME OUT. GUEST: Emily Mackay of Movies N' Mayhem attempts to aid us in our butchering of the French language.
