The Contrarians121 - Good Will Hunting

It’s a shame that Robin Williams’ only Oscar was awarded for his participation in a film that celebrates mediocrity while actively trying to sell us Matt Damon as the coolest man on planet Earth. Listen to Alex and Julio as they are joined by David Schmitzer from the Franchise Killer podcast to dissect GOOD WILL HUNTING - a movie that boasts outrageous Boston accents alongside whatever it is that Stellan Skarsgard is doing with his voice!
