Wait is Jimmy Buffet playing himself? Wait Wait is Snoop Dog not playing himself, but actually just playing himself? How long is McConaughey going to wear that skirt?
The Beach Bum (2019) follows the exploits of hedonistic Key West poet, Moondog (Matthew McConaughey). The (sort of) plot shows Moondog's meandering adventures, while he looks to complete writing his novel. Along the way we are treated to a cast of characters including his R&B Singer best friend (Snoop Dog), his aloof & wealthy wife (Isla Fisher), a pyro christian rock super fan (Zac Efron), and many more.
Following the film discussion, we are joined by Key West based poet Bud Navero. Originally from New York, Bud has experienced the wonders of Key West for decades. He tells tales of his own Moondog-esque adventures, first hand accounts of the filming of The Beach Bum, and how Key West has evolved over the years.
