Reel Rap: Sofia Coppola’s ‘Lost In Translation’

Coppola’s second film is often considered her best. Reel Rap discusses the film’s staying power.

Most best of the 2000s lists include Lost in Translation (2003), often near the top. The film garnered four Oscar nominations and Sofia Coppola took home the award for Best Original Screenplay. Coppola’s definitive style is on full display in this film and Reel Rap examines the interplay between Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson and how their secondary relationships help define their characters.

In this episode Shane and Bennett also discuss superfluous self-care products, the repulsive act of drinking milk and how our relationships to film change over time.

A comedy duo straight out of William Penn’s backyard, Bennett Glace, an adult Disney fan, and Shane Pfender, an ordained minister, have for years lent a critical eye to Hollywood’s most tedious auteurs. They are a comedy duo for film snobs and slobs alike. Exhausted by the current uninspired landscape of film criticism, the two work to find a new language with which to understand and interact with the films they cover on their inimitable podcast, Reel Rap.
