The Talented Mr. Ripley
Manage episode 378856038 series 3384247
The kids are in school and the weather is turning cool, so how's about we jetset to Italy for a few cocktails and some stolen identity's? Don't worry, we'll be putting it on the Greenleaf tab. Some food for thought: Is Tom Ripley just you classic American who spent too much time studying abroad or is he a dyed in the wool sociopath? Honestly... what's the difference? Book or movie... he comes off as a real Dickie. Which depending on your preference, and his, might leave a bad taste in your mouth.
Join Kelly and Jim as they riffle through Patricia Highsmith's personal baggage and 1955 thriller The Talented Mr Ripley. Can Kelly defend a misanthropic lesbian... that isn't herself? Sure, it may read at a snails pace but the creepy accuracy might buy it travel points. Or will the charm and talent of Jimmy pull through and justify casting Jude Law as an American? If not maybe tag in Matt Damon and see if he can save the day and all the listeners from a novel that reads more like an antiquated home decor catalogue. How about them apples, Patricia! 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻
