We might be through with the mumblecore but the mumblecore ain’t through with us. David Bax returns to I Do Movies Badly to convince Jim to give mumblecore another chance, to explain his distaste for the label “mumblecore,” and to discuss Stanley Cup predictions that, due to recording in May, are already hilariously dated! David didn’t care for Jape Man’s recommendations back in the day so he’s making three of his own: Andrew Bujalski’s Funny Ha Ha (2002), Barry Jenkins’s Medicine for Melancholy (2008), and Lena Dunham’s Tiny Furniture (2010).
When I found this site and started going through your back catalog, I didn’t bother with the first set of mumblecore movies (even though I was already watching the type of films more infrequently called “mumblegore”). But since “Support the Girls” and “If Beale Street Could Talks” were good movies, I’ll give these a shot. I’ll blame David Bax if Tiny Furniture turns out to be as insufferable as feared.
