Episode 6: The Intern (2015)
/
“Okay, you know what you need now? You need someone to friend.’ ‘I’ll be friends with the other interns, they’ll show me how to do it in the morning.’ ‘You can friend me.’ ‘Okay, thank you.”
-The Intern (2015)
Hello hello! Today marks the final episode of our Meyers Marathon, focusing on 2015's The Intern. It's a funky little movie that proposes a hard hitting question: What if you were old and you had a job?
Ok, there may be a bit more to it than that. There's some family drama here, some crazy heist hijinks, possibly even romance (just a tiny bit). But really the main draw is Robert De Niro working for Anne Hathaway, giving out his old man life lessons on one hand and being introduced to Facebook on the other. Anyway, I'm not sure he even has a "job" really, just an internship. Are they paying him? I'm worried they're not paying him. He needs the money to buy more ties for his fancy tie rack, something you young people wouldn't know anything about, with your untucked shirts and loose collars!
Sorry, that sort of young people shaming is exactly the kind of behavior you won't see from Robert De Niro in this movie, since he's basically a total sweetie pie. Listen to the episode to hear us discuss his positive qualities at great length.
We're out of Nancy Meyers movies (for now), but we'll be back soon with more rom-com discussion, so keep an ear out!
