Love & Mercy tells of the mental struggles of Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys as he deals with bouts of psychosis oppressive forces in his life and surrounding his music career in the 60's and continuing through the 80's. The Theory of Everything follows Stephen Hawking through his diagnosis of motor neurone disease, his career and how both affected his marriage with his wife Jane. These films are highlighted by outstanding performances by Paul Dano and Eddie Redmayne who won an Oscar for his performance.
As these films deal with real people dealing with serious issues, we take more of a serious approach to our discussion. We are lucky to be joined by Matt Nace once again, who as it turns out, is a bit of a Beach Boys expert.
