Erin Brown hosts a conversation with Eric Trommater about Taika Waititi's 2010 coming of age comedy "Boy ." Years before directing "Thor: Ragnarok" and "Jo Jo Rabbit," Waititi had a huge hit in New Zealand with this story of an 11-year-old Maori boy meeting his father after a 6-year absence. Erin and Eric were both huge fans of the movie. Eric was less enthusiastic about Waititi's performance as Boy's father than he was the direction and writing. Erin, on the other hand, felt Waititi was perfect in the role What did you think? Let us know in the comments.
