What’s Eating Gilbert Grape

Hold Up

This glorious Sunday the gang got down with alliteration and gossip when we watched What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, Lasse Hallström’s ’93 family drama. Starring Johnny Depp, Juliette Lewis, and Leonardo DiCaprio in a role that secured him his first Oscar loss and a ton of confused first interactions afterwards. This flick brought in a whopping $1 million at the box office but still resonates in the cinema sphere due to the sincerity of the performances and the dramatic setting. But does it hold up? Listen in as Jon, Colin, and Brent debate ladder safety and building codes as we do the heavy lifting and find out if this film is still fire, or too heavy to move.
