Not only is Half Nelson one of Ryan Gosling's best performances (netting him his first Oscar nom), it's also the feature film debut of the directorial team behind Captain Marvel!

We discuss the many weird things Gosling has in his hands, his white boy dancing, and our many worries while watching this movie.
