Movie Meltdown - Episode 439 (For our Patreon supporters.)
This week we sit down and talk... about many, many things.
Even some movies. And while we pin down exactly what meta-pandering
means, we also discuss... The Sonora Pine, Ursula K. Le Guin, Ready
Player One, Silence, weird Technicolor psychosis, once the Slint is
in your system, hyper science, Superman mentality, the motionless
picture, everyone was turning into Larry King, every other one...
we know the rule, the American business, Martin Scorsese, adjusting
stories, on the edge of town, Mark Hamill, Super 8, serialized
storytelling, weird fetishization with our own social circle, we go
home after popcorn, the sounds that kind of happen in your soul on
those really dark nights, don't worry... I'm wearing a mask and
gloves, Rian Johnson, Dickens novels, I don't know what winning
looks like for our heroes, Star Trek culture, fanfiction, nothing
but pop culture references, smart people from other countries want
to come here, undercooked characters, Hitchcock/Truffaut, aww
man... do I have to defeat the dark lord, Horatio Hornblower, pop
culture looking at pop culture, growing up in the post-George Lucas
world, the vault that may not have anything in it, finding Luke
Skywalker and getting Capt. Kirk back in charge of the Enterprise,
a new sonic territory, the biggest fluff for me, J.J. Abrams,
villain-verse, the prequels, Steven Spielberg, colonialist
viewpoint, worthy of literary endeavor and being hopped up on
Lucozade and Jaffa Cakes.
"Speaking as a man for whom, like half of my friends are
imaginary and the other half are on podcasts... yours is one of my
favorite."
