Maynk 2: Paynke[]
Downsizing
In the second series of episodes looking at a director's filmography, The Doughboys tackle Paynke, a month of Alexander Payne's movies.
For this episode, they discuss Payne's 2017 movie, Downsizing.
During Paynke, as with Maynk, they rate the movie on a scale of 0-10 inches of computer-generated Neanderthal Affleck Hog.
Mitch and Nick before rewatching the movie this time, probably would have rated it around 3 or 4 out of 10. Griffin calls himself the premier Downsizing defender ("I think I like this movie more than Alexander Payne does") and took some pride in convincing them the film is actually pretty good.
