Depp Impact

HI EVERYBODY! No, Depp Impact has not fallen into the abyss, never to return! It's here, baybeeee and shorter than ever! As the season gets busy and the project wraps up, Jenna just didn't have time to find guests, nor would she subject anybody to the 8 minute, Charlie Sheen, "masterpiece" RPG. So she did it herself! In this episode, we live react to the 1986 short "RPG" and then Jenna realizes half way through that she can also record a quick snippet on Jack and Jill. Brief updates abound in this exceedingly brief episode! Short films and cameos! Wow!

Ever see advertising for a movie and then watch the movie and the movie is NOTHING LIKE WHAT YOU THOUGHT IT WAS. If you haven't had this phenomenon happen, do yourself a favor and press play on Arizona Dream. Today Jenna is joined by the professor of obscure Depp-filmography, Cameron Kelsall (@ckelsall) to talk about 1992's Arizona Dream. Somewhere between 21 Jump Street and a fever dream, this movie was made. Questionable pretty people doing weird shit with accordions and flying fish. Seriously, this movie is a TRIP.

Jenna is back from a brief (three month!?) hiatus with one of Depp's more recent outputs! It's nothing personal, listeners, I just needed a break. But this is a movie that is not necessarily worth your time! Jenna is joined by the wonderful, the talented, the last guest on the pod Adam Howard (@adamdouglashoward) to talk about the jumble of metaphors that is Waiting for the Barbarians. This movie came out in 2020 after being shelved since 2019 and maybe it should have remained shelved! I'm being unfair about this boring, beautiful, film with good performances. Adam gave it 2 and 1/2 stars.

Jenna is joined by Philadelphia Artist Collective Artistic Director, performer, writer, and director Dan Hodge to talk about the movie where Amber Heard and Johnny Depp met... The Rum Diary! They discuss how things can become toothless as they make the transition from book to film, Hunter S. Thompson's legacy, and Jenna laments the absence of Benicio del Toro. This movie proves that, while dedicating a film to a friend is a nice gesture, it's maybe not entertaining.

Jenna is joined by the multi-hyphenated talent powerhouse that is Ang Bey (@theangbee) to talk about the very confused Dark Shadows! They try to figure out if there is any connective tissue between the show in the 70's and this Tim Burton take, but have a hard time finding merit in this film. They discuss Depp's ugly wig, the truck loads of clown white that propel this movie, and it is ONCE AGAIN discovered that Tim Burton doesn't know any people who aren't the color of a sheet of paper.

Jenna is joined by circus artist and pizza youtuber, Terry Brennan (@terrencembrennan) to talk about the Hughes Brother's 2001 opus From Hell! They discuss the jump from graphic novel to film, the many terms used to describe ladies of the night, and the first recorded incident of Johnny Depp's vaguely British accent. Terry fell asleep during the movie at one point and Jenna can't remember what happened when he fell asleep, but Bilbo Baggins AND Hagrid are in this movie, so you know it was filmed in London. Oh yes. And no matter how hard the early 2000's tried, a slow motion sex scene is still not sexy or artful.

Jenna is joined by actor, director, and Canadian, Charlotte Northeast (@northeast007) to talk about that rightfully forgotten 80's sex comedy, Private Resort! Yes, Depp's second feature film. Rob Morrow's film debut. A film so stupid, they vowed to destroy every copy ever made. Thanks to the power of digital media, they will never succeed! Be assured, this movie is a stinker. They discuss karate grandmas, boobies, Depp's butt, and ask the big question... what kind of private resort is this?

Jenna is joined by host, comedian, and #1 news article reader R. Eric Thomas (@oureric) to discuss Kenneth Braughan's flex on that ol' Agatha Christie chestnut Murder on the Orient Express! Eric reintroduces Jenna to the word "flibbertigibbet" and they question the engineering (and ethics) required to squeeze more than one person into a single train sleeping quarters. They celebrate Leslie Odom Jr., Josh Gad, and Michelle Pfieffer's agents, question Olivia Colman's agent, and think deeply about the exquisite camp this movie could have-should have-been.

Jenna is joined by actor, creative, steering committee member of Black Theatre Alliance of Philadelphia, and badass artistic director of Revolution Shakespeare, Tai Verley (@lapetiteroi). Jenna and Tai talk Roman Polanski's very strange, hyper hilarious, film The Ninth Gate. Tai saw this movie when she was 16, which is too young to see this movie. Both Tai and Jenna only remembered the "lady in the wheelchair", but they discuss separating art from artist, Depp's smoking habit, and how unintentionally(?) hilarious this film is. Moral of the story: Rich people are dorks.

Jenna is joined by singer, actor, and superstar Camille Young (@cahppymeal) to go back to where it all started.... down on (21) Jump Street! Camille watched most of the 80's classic 21 Jump Street. Jenna was a slacker and only got through the middle of season 2, so Camille caught her up. Camille's mom asserts this is "Johnny Depp at his best." Camille and Jenna kind of agree? They determine 21 Jump Street is Degrassi meets Law and Order, the movie is just not their style, and they just don't make gritty teeny bopper cop shows like they used to.

They discuss the intersection between science and the supernatural, Terrill's love of Christina Ricci, and the women of Sleepy Hollow. They explore how this feels like a PG-13 film, Miranda Witcherson, and the intersection between Jason Vorheese and the Headless Horseman.

Jenna is joined by the supremely talented, Broadway bound, Pocket Universe Artistic Director, Alyssa May Gold (@heylyssamay)!! Jenna and Alyssa talk about how much they love Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and how Jack Sparrow inspired them to chase roles that aren't damsels in distress. Alyssa tracks Elizabeth Swann's hair over the course of the film, they celebrate how good Jack Sparrow's wordless introduction is, and they root for a world where Zoe Saldana gets her own Pirate movie. They rise above technical difficulties and Jenna gives Alyssa a fool's mission....to summarize a 2 hour and 45 minute EPIC in 10 minutes.

They investigate Terry Gilliam's obsession with perfect femininity, the beauty of this film's art direction, and how Tom Waits is actually probably the Devil. In a good way! While not considered a "Johnny Depp film", we talk Johnny's 10 minute contribution to this film and the gift of life Depp (as well as Jude Law and Colin Farrell) gave to this film, in spite of the tragic death of its star.

Jenna is joined by the talented singer, actor, and Elm Street scholar Carlos Castillo (Instagram: @cemanuelcastillo)! They deep dive into the iconic Nightmare and (almost) all of the sequels, since Jenna has only seen the first two. A celebration of crop tops, Heather Langenkamp, and a bed full of blood. Johnny Depp's first film role. It's wild to see "Introducing... Johnny Depp" in the credits. There is a hiccup at the 52 minute mark, so apologizes in advance. I'm new in town.
