Oz and Curtis are putting on their brightest uniforms, practicing their best (and worst) German accents, and learning how to dance again to break down Taika Waititi’s Oscar-winning Black Comedy: Jojo Rabbit!

Johannes "Jojo" Betzler (Roman Griffin Davis) is a lonely German boy whose world is turned upside down when he discovers his single mother, Rosie (Scarlett Johansson), is hiding a young Jewish girl, Elsa (Thomasin McKenzie), in their attic. Aided only by his idiotic imaginary friend—a flamboyant, childish version of Adolf Hitler (played by Waititi himself)—Jojo must confront his blind nationalism and decide what kind of person he actually wants to be.

We break down the film’s incredible tonal balance: how Waititi pivots from slapstick comedy to devastating heartbreak in a single frame (those shoes!), Scarlett Johansson’s career-best warmth and strength, and the breakout performances of the kids. Is Jojo Rabbit the most daring Satire of the decade and a modern Coming-of-Age classic, or just a movie that proves the best way to fight hate is with a well-timed dance and a lot of heart? Tune in for our full Jojo Rabbit 2019 movie review!

If you’re into analyzing bold filmmaking, appreciating movies that find humor in the darkest places, or listening to two dudes who would definitely be the worst members of the Jungvolk ever, this episode is for you.
