This week on Remainders, we discuss the 2016 film Manchester By the Sea. A story of grief, depression, trauma and confronting the past, Kenneth Lonergan directs a movie that manages to deal with these difficult themes while also showing the imperfections in life and the awkward, sometimes funny moments in between. A case of realism with a touch of levity, Casey Affleck plays Lee, a man who upon losing his brother must step into the parental role for his nephew, played by Lucas Hedges. Both give incredible performances and let’s the audience feel for their characters as they are exposed and vulnerable in times of death.Other topics include best performances by Casey Affleck and Michelle Williams, Darren’s upcoming Punk Rock & Paintbrushes at When We Were Young festival, recent and upcoming live shows, the month of Friday the 13th marathons, and Elvis in the movies.Songs of the WeekSee See Rider by LaVern BakerShake Some Action by the Flamin’ GrooviesAll songs on the Remainders Jukebox PlaylistWebsiteFacebookInstagramYouTubeTwitter
