Say Hello to My Little Film: Episode 206 - The Peanut Butter Falcon

It's springtime in the world and there's no better time for a road trip movie! Ray rises to occasion on this episode of SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FILM by recommending the 2019 dramedy buddy film THE PEANUT BUTTER FALCON! This heartwarming story centers on Zak (in a debut performance by Zack Gottsagen), an orphaned fellow with Downs Syndrome who finds himself trapped in an assisted living facility for the elderly. After a daring escape (aided by his roommate and living legend Bruce Dern), his path collides with another man on the run, Tyler, played by Shia LaBeouf (HOLES, TRANSFORMERS). This unlikely pair traverse the beaches and open roads of North Carolina's outer banks in the quest to fulfill Zak's lifelong dream of meeting his hero The Saltwater Redneck and becoming a professional wrestler. With a supporting performance by Dakota Johnson (50 SHADES OF GREY, MADAME WEB), THE PEANUT BUTTER FALCON explores what it means to be a family and lengths we'll go to find it. 

Will Zak's journey to fulfill his dream capture Rob's heart? Or will the heartwarming nature of this story feel to saccharine for him? Tune in this week to find out!
