As Always Spoilers Abound and this is NSFW or for most audiences.
Two movies on how not to treat your friend.
One character drama which won the John Cassavetes Award at the 16th Independent Spirit Awards and the other dark comedy is a studio funded travesty with the biggest non drama stars in the world (circa early 2000s).
This week's films are 2000's Chuck and Buck directed by Miguel Arteta and written by and starred Mike White. As well as 2004's Envy starring Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Rachel Weisz, Amy Poehler and Christopher Walken.
A correction note: Barry Sonnenfeld did ‘Men in Black’, not Barry Levinson. You’ll understand when you listen.
