Welcome to The Fire Escape, the official podcast of The Colloquial. Our purpose is to deliver easy and fun content about highbrow subjects. We want to tear down the gatekeepers. We want to use familiar language for complicated topics or discuss familiar topics with a more theoretical approach.
The Bechdel CastMore Caitlin Durante things
Colter and Pete talk about Matt Reeve's film 'The Batman" now streaming on HBO Max.
Peter and Colter kick off the new format with a simple question, what piece of storytelling is meaningful to you right now? It's a mouthful of a question but we specifically worded it this way to take the pressure off of trying to name your favorite X or the best Y. Sometimes you are in a moment where one piece of art is taking up all of your brain space. We all have those moments where something is our favorite thing at that moment even if it won't be in a few years/months/weeks. With that being said this first episode in the new format is a two parter. Pete has the FX series "Atlanta" on the brain, and Colter's noggin is full of 2022 best picture winner "CODA".
