Episode 5 - Wes Anderson Movies

Episode 5: The Beatles’ Missing Drummer + Deep dive into Wes Anderson movies?

🎙️ Welcome back to Do You Even Binge?

We kick things off On This Day in 1964:
The Beatles launch their world tour… without Ringo Starr. Instead, Jimmie Nicol steps in as a last-minute replacement and lives 10 surreal days as a Beatle — before vanishing into obscurity. Fame ruined him. And no, that’s not an exaggeration.

Then we get into what we’ve been watching:
🎬 The Phoenician Scheme, Wes Anderson’s newest film starring Benicio Del Toro, Michael Cera, and Mia Threapleton. Beautiful to look at, but did it leave us feeling anything?

🎥 MAIN TOPIC:
Wes Anderson’s full filmography — the rise, the peak, and the slow-motion fall.We revisit:

• Bottle Rocket (1996) — the box office bomb that almost sent Owen Wilson to the Marines
• Rushmore, Royal Tenenbaums, Life Aquatic, Darjeeling Limited — peak era Wes
• Fantastic Mr. Fox, Moonrise Kingdom, Grand Budapest Hotel
• And then... Isle of Dogs, French Dispatch, Asteroid City, and Henry Sugar
• Finally: The Phoenician Scheme (2025) — the possible breaking point

We ask:
🌀 Has Wes lost touch with emotion?
🤖 Are his actors just beautifully styled robots now?
