‘Tony’ and the Top Five Coming-of-Age Movies, With Matt Johnson!

Well, there’s only one man to bring in to discuss Matt Johnson’s new biopic, Tony, and that’s Anthony Bourdain aficionado Chris Ryan. Before diving into the movie, CR briefly gives a temperature check on the highly anticipated Miami Vice sequel. Then, they unpack Tony and highlight all of the reasons they found it to be deeply affecting. Later, they both share their top five “coming-of-age” movies of all time. Finally, Matt Johnson joins the show to tell Sean all of his secrets, because he likes him (his exact words). Johnson explains how Dominic Sessa convinced him to make the film despite his distaste for biopics in general, why he didn’t use any of his traditional filmmaking moves in the movie, and much more.
