Listen "Ralph Fiennes"
Episode Synopsis
This week we talk about the films of Ralph Fiennes. We haven't seen all his movies, but we have seen a goodly number. If you're afraid of the sneaky and nefarious SPOILER, you probably ought to be cautious since we fear it not.
00:10 Intro and the topic
02:40 Fiennes and the theater (theatre?)
06:11 Bob attempts to categorize Fiennes' films
07:05 Bob's very wrong about Macbeth being on streaming
08:00 The bulk of Fiennes' movies
13:37 Fiennes as villain
16:03 The Avengers (1998) Bob will be wrong a few seconds later about Fiennes being the villain (it's Sean Connery); not only that, Fiennes plays the hero, which would have been a good thing to have looked up before having the rest of this conversation. Do your homework, kids!
16:51 Our discussion of The English Patient
19:18 "Never" the hero? Didn't you guys just say he was the hero of The King's Man? Tells you how forgettable that film was.
20:13 Fiennes is an actor not a star?

31:46 Odds and ends
37:19 Getting off topic and talking about physical media
