Highbrow / Lowbrow

By: Matthew McFarland & Eddie Estrada
  • Summary

  • Welcome to Highbrow / Lowbrow! Highbrow: Scholarly. Rarefied. Refined. Lowbrow: Lacking in taste, culture, intelligence. When it comes to the Silver Screen, some of our favorite actors have taken some BIG swings. Sometimes they hit it out of the park and even win an Oscar; other times, they almost ruin their careers…! Each week, Matthew & Eddie will take one actor and talk about two of their movies: One, a glorious "highbrow" pinnacle of their career, and two, a puzzling "lowbrow" choice has confused the masses to no end! Tune in every Friday as Highbrow / Lowbrow compares and contrasts the vast polarity of your favorite actors' filmography
