Time On Screen: Focus

On this episode of Time on Screen, Zach welcomes Ricardo Simé to the podcast to chat about Focus, an underseen 2015 film starring Will Smith and Margot Robbie. Focus has become something of a cult favorite since it came and went at the box office nearly ten years ago, and it strikes a particular chord if you’re a watch collector with what are some frankly terrifying scenes involving watch theft. Theft is something that’s on the mind of many watch collectors these days - it seems like a week doesn’t go by where a story isn’t shared of someone losing their watch to a thief, so Focus is incredibly topical at the moment. In addition to that, it’s just an incredibly entertaining crime film with a ton of great screwball energy and real chemistry between Smith and Robbie, with one of the best gambling scenes we’ve ever seen on film.
