The Avocado Movie Club #48: The Intern (2015)

Welcome to the Movie Club! Today’s movie is Nancy Meyer’s comedy drama The Intern!

 

 

  • Surprisingly, one of Quentin Tarantino’s favourite movies of 2015.
  • At one point, Robert De Niro’s character claims to not know who Jay Z is, which is apparently a reference to a beef between Jay Z and Robert De Niro that lasted from 2012-2016.
  • Nancy Meyers references her own movie, The Parent Trap, in the scene where Jules goes with Ben to pick up coffee. Two of the coffee cups have the names “Annie” and “Hallie” on them, which are both the names of the leads in The Parent Trap and Meyer’s own daughters.

Up Next: Our next movie will be Justine Triet’s legal drama Anatomy of a Fall! We’ll meet to discuss it on May 22 at 12PM EST. Check out the trailer and where it’s playing below:
