What were you thinking when you saw the fight happen?
‘Is someone going to stop these two from kicking each other? Nope, I guess I will.‘
New Zealand-based filmmaker Taika Waititi has a lot going for him: comic cred (Flight of the Conchords); an Oscar nod; and a feature-length film, Boy, that is his country’s biggest hit in history. What he still needs? A US release. His project will help him bring this charmingly off-kilter tale of a young boy and his dad to the States. The film is about how, no matter how old we are, we all have a little growing up to do — but if Taika’s amazingly likable video updates are any proof, we sort of want him to stay a big kid forever! So, as the locals say: Bloody good.

Other vital study guides:
Carl Anderson as Judas, oh my god
My favorite of the cast albums (the one my grandparents had)
Are we calling dibs on parts? Do we rotate as Jesus and Judas? I can’t sing any of Mary’s songs because I have a man voice.
In college we listened to the Indigo Girls’ version of JCS an awful lot. Because I went to Wesleyan. I know, I know.
