In this episode of the Old Man Orange Podcast Modern Cinema Review, we dive into the 2011 comedy-drama The Beaver, directed by Jodie Foster and starring Mel Gibson, Jodie Foster, and Jennifer Lawrence. This quirky yet emotional film follows a depressed businessman who finds an unconventional way to cope—with the help of a beaver hand puppet. And it may be the funniest film Mel Gibson has ever done! Then it starts to go full Evil Dead towards the end.

🔹 Is The Beaver an underrated gem or just too weird to work?

🔹 How does Mel Gibson’s performance hold up?

🔹 Does the mix of comedy and drama hit the right balance?

We break it all down in this spoiler-filled discussion! Then get sidetracked as usual with other movies, games, and life stories. Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more deep dives into fascinating films.
