Man on Wire

🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿

🎙️ EPISODE 300: 01.24.2021 *Review starts @ ~ 4:01:45 Man on Wire is a really great documentary about the dude who snuck into the World Trade Center with three pals and rigged a wire between the Twin Towers. He then proceeded to 'wire-walk' the shit out of that wire. I almost feel like this topic was too easy etc. It was well done and all, but this was a hard one to fuck up for several reasons. This is based off of a book written by the dude himself, Philippe Petit. Literally nothing else from my original review is worth posting. (Also: I'm upping this from an 8 to a 9, score-wise, so there's that... See ya.

*** part of THE BIG EPISODE 300 EXTRAVAGANZA wherein I reviewed 36 movies, mostly live reads of critiques I wrote between 2009-2012. The finished product above is a highly edited version of the truly embarrassing one that was read during the five-hour podcast recording. I guess this is growing up. ***
