Exploring Parasocial Connections and the Musical Biopic 'Better Man'

It’s the 800th episode of The Filmcast! David, Devindra, and Jeff celebrate this milestone by playing listener voicemails recalling their favorite moments from the show. Then they take in a matinee with The Last Showgirl, attempt to find freedom with All We Imagine as Light, and assess the architecture behind The Brutalist. Finally, they return to ancient Rome with Ridley Scott for Gladiator II.
