Halfway to 100 it is Episode 50! Simon and Sam from the Picturehouse Podcast return for Simon’s choice, the 2000 Kenneth (K-Lo) Lonergan drama You Can Count on Me staring the wonderful Mark Ruffalo and Laura Linney.
Don’t be fooled by the TERRIBLE promotional posters for this film, it isn’t a romantic backpacker comedy one of the posters would imply or a grimacing laughter fest either – it is a complex and carefully observed film about family and grief. Both Linney and Ruffle are terrific in what were both breakthrough performances then, supported by a young Rory Culkin and the greatest performance by a moth in the history of cinema (Best Supporting Moth is yours little guy!).

Scoring a very respectable 4.1 overall this is definitely worth a watch if only for the moth, JOKES!
The film is great, go watch.
