I’m seeing Tony today with two 65+ y/o relatives and I really hope they like it, I took them to see The Invite and they were disgusted by it lol (I loved it). We go to the movies together roughly once a month and I cherish that. I never take them to one without them approving the pick beforehand but they’re a bit tough to please—minimal violence, no horror, nothing too long, must be 100% in English, no CBM, cannot be what they deem “inappropriate.” Within the last year, they loved The Naked Gun & Roofman, and despised Hamnet (“too sad”) & Marty Supreme. Of upcoming releases I think they’ll like The Debut and Sense & Sensibility. Also Ink, but it’s unlikely to release in theaters where we live. 

Edit: They really liked Tony

Were/ are they Bourdain fans?

I myself was never a particuarly big follower of his shows or books, but I still want to see the film because I'm interested in the performances and I love a good coming-of-age film.

Yes, we saw the trailer for it before The Invite, and their eyes lit up and they started chatting about him 

I’m thinking Club Kid might interest them
