George Miller's new fantasy-romance THREE THOUSAND YEARS OF LONGING may not have made a splash in theaters, but your Next Picture Show cohort agrees it's the sort of odd-duck movie that tends to age well, in part because it fits nicely into the sturdy category of “stories about storytelling.” Even more so than its central djinn character, that interest in storytelling is what links this film to 1940's THE THIEF OF BAGDAD, and so after unpacking our reactions to Miller's film, we bring THIEF back into the discussion to compare two fantastical tales, one sincere and one self-aware, about how desire and love can shape the nature of beings both mythic and mortal. Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about THE THIEF OF BAGDAD, THREE THOUSAND YEARS OF LONGING, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email to comments@nextpictureshow.net, leaving a short voicemail at 773-234-9730, or commenting on our Patreon (patreon.com/NextPictureShow), where you can also find bonus episodes and more.

It is said by many evangelical Christians that true believers will be transported to heaven at the second coming of Christ, known as the rapture. Journalist and writer Joshua Rivera grew up in an immigrant evangelical family in Florida, later New York, and was raised with the fear of the rapture hanging over his head. He recently penned a piece for Slate magazine about the power it held - and still holds - over him and his family, and how it continues to influence American society and politics.

Amidst the influencers, cute animals, memes and other videos on Instagram lives a bizarre, dark and strangely legal underworld where people buy and sell human skulls, bones and body parts. Jordan Erica Webber and Joshua Rivera dig deep into this macabre marketplace where they meet with Henry Scragg, proprietor of curiositiesfromthe5thcorner, and actual buyer and seller of human skulls and other death-related oddities. They also learn that the trading of human bones is nothing new and actually dates back to about the 1800s. Writer Oscar Schwartz's article outlines the history of the troublesome practice as it was used in phrenology and other outdated sciences, and attributes it to cultural appropriation. And although Instagram is now the go-to to buying marketplace, it began on eBay and other sites in the early days of the internet, and is showing no signs of slowing. Oscar explains how this trading in body parts is a remnant of colonialists who exploited and even killed indigenous people, but Henry defends his business as embracing death as part of life, detailing how one can be a responsible and discerning skull-trader. So is the trading of human remains just another legitimate-albeit-unusual business, or is it perpetuating an outdated practice that exploits disenfranchised people and their culture?

You can't own an iPhone and be a bad person, at least according to Apple. Director of "Knives Out" and "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" Rian Johnson exposed Apple's strange product placement policy in a video online for Vanity Fair. But hosts Jordan Erica Webber and Joshua Rivera discover that this has been going on longer than most of us would expect. First we hear from Dean Browell, the creator of the The Macintosh Theory, who first noticed these spoilers in commercials and Fox's hit "24." Then Joshua Peterson, a production designer who has seen Apple rules firsthand, and throws a wrench into the spoiler theory. Is Apple's influence on story just aggressive marketing or will it actually ruin creativity in filmmaking?

In September 2005, World of Warcraft, a popular MMORPG, was struck with a virus called "Corrupted Blood." It spread uncontrollably, killing hundreds of thousands of players. And now, epidemiologists are studying players' reactions to this virtual pandemic, trying to predict human reactions to real contagions. Jordan Erica Webber and Joshua Rivera speak to a player from the Corrupted Blood Incident who became a super spreader, and Eric Lofgren, an epidemiologist who studied the World of Warcraft epidemic, weighs in on how eerily similar it was to today.

With one of the most popular games on the planet, From Software's Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, proving to be too difficult for many to master (or even progress in), when is it okay for folks to complain? Should an Easy Mode be added for accessibility? What might such a mode mean for experiencing the game? For the intent of the developers? For players tempted by the path of least resistance? And should any of that matter when considering folks that just want to experience the journey?

Kyle's still out honeymooning, but we have special guest and GQ writer Joshua Rivera (@jmrivera02) to talk real smart about games, god help us. We've been playing visual novels and some sub-2-hour games, so dive into some stuff that you can get through pretty quickly.

We're joined by Joshua Rivera this week to discuss Man of Steel (2013), rated 55% on Rotten Tomatoes. On this episode, we discuss: The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt The Handmaid's Tale Arrested Development Wonder Woman Episode Breakdown: Man of Steel (2013) was directed by Zack Snyder and written by David S. Goyer. It stars Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Laurence Fishburne, Antje Traue, Ayelet Zurer, Christopher Meloni, and Russell Crowe We could have also watched Top Gun, Step Brothers, The Bourne Legacy, The Company You Keep, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps Questions We Ask: Is this movie bad or does it just get a bad rap? Man of Steel is criticized for lacking positivity — how could that be changed? What completely works for you? What moments got close but fell flat? Does it get better or worse with more viewings?

Space Jam is one of those films that maintains a bit of respect in the millennial community — I mean, it combines Bugs Bunny with Michael Jordan, and features great cameos by Bill Murray, Wayne Knight, and a handful of other NBA athletes. But is the film itself good? It's fun. Qualifying it as good or bad is kind of tough — it is an act of commercial brilliance, though. As far as plot and pacing, Space Jam flies through into the core conflict. Aliens from Moron Mountain (a poorly performing amusement park planet) are going to take the Looney Tunes hostage as their slaves, but Bugs and company challenge them to a game of basketball. The aliens steal the talent of some of the NBA's hottest stars (like Charles Barkley and Patrick Ewing) and become the Monstars. The Loony Tunes then draft Michael Jordan to teach them how to win their freedom on the court.
