This week, I'm joined by a true aficionado of cinematic villainy to consider one of the more unique villain turns of the last decade, Jacki Weaver's sickeningly sweet Aussie crime family matriarch Janine "Smurf" Cody in David Michôd's debut film ANIMAL KINGDOM (2010). Other topics include weirdly Oedipal kisses (that isn't just the way Australians are, trust me), Air Supply being used to frightening effect, and the relative career highs and lows of Weaver relative to the eventual winner. (Sorry about the length on this one, we had a lot to talk about!)
