Is she a Quirky Muse or a Flat Character? Today we are diving headfirst into the world of the Manic Pixie Dream Girl. We'll unpack the origins of the trope, coined by film critic Nathan Rabin in his review of "Elizabethtown" (remember Kirsten Dunst's airport twirling?), and explore its evolution through Zooey Deschanel's rise to fame. We'll discuss how movies like "Garden State" and “500 Days of Summer” impacted the trope (and indie music), the merits of the MPDG, explore the overlap with the Pick Me Girl and debate whether Red era Taylor Swift was a full-blown MPDG or simply the queen of twee. (00:00) – What is the Manic Pixie Dream Girl? (10:42) – Nathan Rabin ate with the term “Manic Pixie Dream Girl” (19:14) – 500 Days of Summer   (31:53) – Was Taylor Swift Twee?

Max and Cassandra's exploration of the Manic Pixie Dream Girl continues with the film that started it all: Elizabethtown (2005). Does this flick deserve all the vitriol?

Is Kirsten Dunst's Clair actually a manic pixie dream girl at all? All this and more!Patreon.com/QuillAndFilmMeasuringFlicksPodcast@gmail.com

Max and Cassandra (of Cassandra Explains It All and Drenched In Drama) kick off their monthlong exploration of the cinematic archetype and cultural phenomenon that is the Manic Pixie Dream Girl with 2004's Garden State. Are MPDGs just a holdover of outdated feminine societal structures from eras past? Infantilized male fantasies? Freudian Mommy stand-ins listless dudes feel okay about kissing?

JOIN US ON PATREON: patreon.com/ivebeenmeaningtowatch. Listen in as we welcome the brilliant Nicole Eva, also known as Evasive, for a lively discussion about the manic pixie dream girl trope in film and TV. With her keen eye for movie analysis, we examine this problematic trope, its harmful effects, and its prevalence in the media. Amidst our discourse, we touch on recent controversies in the entertainment industry, such as a questionable joke on SNL, the show's toxic work environment, and the relentless pressure to produce a new show every week. Our conversation doesn't stop there. Together, we tackle the issues of shows and movies being abruptly removed from streaming platforms, causing disappointment and frustration among viewers. We also delve into the decline in quality of fashion and costuming in some shows, highlighting the need for historical accuracy. Through this, we express our collective disappointment with the lack of transparency in the industry and its impact on us as viewers. We end our discussion by examining the portrayal of manic pixie dream girls in films such as 500 Days of Summer and Ruby Sparks. We unpack the complexities of this trope, from its origins with male writers to its subversion by female writer Zoe Kazan in Ruby Sparks. By offering alternative endings and analyzing the trope's impact on relationships and gender roles, we aim to bring a fresh perspective to this well-worn trope. So, tune in for an enlightening conversation about film, TV, and the roles we see on our screens. (0:00:05) - SNL and Warner Bros.

This week on The Pod Charles Cinecast, presented by The Prince Charles Cinema, our hosts Jonathan Foster and Fil Freitas get in a car wreck, and decide to off themselves. Not before leaving their minds to be cryogenically frozen and set to lucid dream mode for 150 years.It's WEEK 3 of 2 THOUGHTS 2 DEEP TOO : TOKYO DRIFT, and we are scratching our heads to Cameron Crowe's 2001 follow-up to Almost Famous, the very weird, maybe underrated, but perhaps justly forgotten, VANILLA SKY, starring Tom Cruise, Penélope Cruz, Cameron Diaz, and Jason Lee. We weren't scratching our heads trying to figure out what was going on in this confusing movie, as it pretty much explains everything at the end, for better or worse. But we are scratching our heads to why it exists in the first place.Tom Cruise goes off on one in this vanity picture, that mirrors a lot of his own star status, and is making a lot of interesting choices with his "being bad" (giving a lot of Jim Carrey) that you wouldn't see him do today. Along with this, we get instances of Manic Pixie Dream Girls, Scientology buddies, disfigurements, a ton of Pop Culture references and hidden Easter Eggs, and Cameron Diaz out acting the whole cast.The film made a ton of money, and did okay with the critics, but for some reason it's one that no one talks about any more. What happened to Cameron Crowe's career? Did Jason Lee and Tom Cruise ever hang out before this film? Is Tom Cruise a good actor? We attempt to ask these questions, no one has answers to... in our 200th Episode!!!“Every passing minute is another chance to turn it all around.”If you enjoy the podcast, leave a Rating and Review!

Oudere millennials dweepten ermee. Na de verschrikkingen van de jaren negentig was het heerlijk dat manic pixie dream-Nathalie Portman in ons leven kwam, om ons wijs te maken in de indierock. Zach Braffs regiedebuut Garden State (2004) was de belofte die zich nooit helemaal heeft waargemaakt. Een roemrijke filmcarrière bleef uit en uiteindelijk kennen we hem nog steeds vooral als 'die gozer uit Scrubs'. Maar eventjes... Heel eventjes was hij dé ster van lekker eigenzinnige arthousecomedy zonder budget-land. Host Ruuds levenspad kruist precies met de hoogtijdagen van Braff, en dus van deze film. Met de desillusie en de wansmaak van de jaren negentig in de mond waren The Shins een verademing. Podgast en filmreviewer Len Karstens (Cinemagazine) heeft daar gelukkig geen last van, en kan de film met een nieuwere, nostalgievrije blik bekijken. Met een blaas vol azijn schuift hij maar al te graag aan, om wat zonneschijn te stelen. Dan komen er al gauw onderwerpen voorbij zoals de moeilijk te verteren eindscène op het vliegveld, een vergelijking met Wes Anderson waarin het q-woord wel mag vallen en de vraag of je wel of niet zo gevat kunt zijn bij een eerste ontmoeting in een huisartsenpraktijk.

This 2009 movie is a classic in the rom-com genre, but it is not a love story

En av populärkulturens återkommande kvinnogestalter är Manic Pixie Dream Girls på samma gång rebellisk och hjälplös. Linda Skugge funderar på en kvinnoroll hon själv aldrig levt upp till. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Nelly tror att världen inte längre finns om hon blundar tillräckligt hårt.Ja, ni minns rätt! Mauro Scoccos rökare Nelly från 1992.När jag i min ungdom i början av nittiotalet var olyckligt kär i en äldre kille brukade han med hjärtan i blicken berätta om tjejen han var ihop med. Hon sa saker som lät misstänkt likt Nelly i den där låten. Saker som att om vi kommer till himlen när vi dör ska vi sitta på ett moln som änglarna gör och vi ska visa oss för barn om kvällen och tända alla ljusen i karusellen.Jag konstaterade sorgset att så där outgrundlig och enigmatisk och härlig blir jag aldrig. Nej, tänkte jag dystert, ingen kille vill ha en tjej som är helt normal och inte det minsta knasig eller virrig och som dessutom sparar alla kuponger i mataffärens veckoblad och sedan går dit och lämnar in dem och viker ihop plastpåsarna i små lådor. Jag funderar aldrig på rymden. Jag känner mig aldrig existentiell. Jag tänker aldrig på luftballonger eller finns jag? vad är ett liv?Helt förkrossad brukade jag tänka på killen som jag var så kär i och likt Mauro tänka om du var min, du skulle aldrig sakna någonting, du skulle få precis vad du vill. Vilket inte kan vara sannare när det kommer till mig. Hos mig får man inte bara ett eget betalkort, utan fria tider, noll regler eller gnäll. Allt är bara så himla fritt och jättehärligt och maten står på bordet samma tid varje dag. Disken? Den tar jag.Men innerst inne visste jag att ingen man vill ha en sådan tjej och jag skulle aldrig kunna förändra mig: jag skulle aldrig kunna sluta gå upp i ottan, sluta utföra mina måsten, för att sedan lägga mig tidigt för att börja om nästa dag. Jag drog slutsatsen att det var kört. Det var bara manic pixie dream girls som killar drömde och sjöng låtar om.Speciella, lite sköra tjejer. Sådana som var dåliga på att ta hand om sig själv. De där nästan genomskinliga tjejerna med långt, trassligt hår. Stora ögon. Osminkade. Barfota. Kanske någon slokhatt som de hittat på loppis och sedan tappat bort. Sådana som tänker mycket. Analyserar. Som vill rymma. Som går i vinterskor på hösten.Sådana tjejer som männen kan få ta hand om. Som om de vore ett litet barn.Jag har aldrig varit speciell. Jag skulle aldrig sitta och nynna i en trappa så där som Nelly gör. Jag skulle aldrig säga att solen och vinden och regnet är mina enda vänner.Att någon skulle få för sig att ta fram gitarren och plita ner en låttext om en tjej som var en fena på att leva sparsamt och som inte bara klippte ut matkupongerna utan dessutom använde dem Hon tvättar våra lakan klockan sex varje lördagsmorgonHon är så himla underbarHennes kyl är aldrig tomHon tänker alltid på att det är en dag i morgon ocksåNä, visst kan man inte se det framför sig?Men så upptäckte jag att Mauro trettio år senare har skrivit en ny låt om Nelly. Det har föga förvånande inte gått så bra för Nelly. "Är du lycklig", frågar han henne i låten med samma namn. Hon har tydligen missat en massa chanser som aldrig kommer tillbaka. Och han undrar om bor kvar i det där huvudet, där allt kunde bli så mörkt.Lite skadeglatt får jag lust att ringa Mauro och berätta varför han haft sådana uppenbara problem med kvinnor som föranlett episka låttexter som det finns en sång för alla dom som aldrig hittat nån att dela sin glädje och sorg med. För att inte tala om den där Sarah som aldrig kommer ut. Hur mycket han än ropar. Det kan vara så, Mauro, att du riktat in dig på fel sorts kvinna: en manic pixie dream girl som inte kan erbjuda dig någonting.En manic pixie dream girl är alla de där ljuva och på samma gång lite konstiga tjejerna på film och i romaner som alla killar faller som käglor för. Och vars uppgift är att förändra killens liv. Och likt samtliga huvudpersoner i ungdomsförfattaren John Greens böcker är de allt på en gång: gåtfulla och äventyrliga och jättesmarta, och naturligtvis har de jättespeciella namn som Alaska, Margo och Hazel.En perfekt och foträt Linda har med andra ord inte en chans.Men som en gammal dö kärring på femtio jordsnurr är jag inte längre bitter eller avundsjuk på Mauros alla manic pixie dream girls. Däremot blir jag sur när pixiebrudarna försöker profitera på kvinnor som inte är det minsta vare sig pixie eller manic. Som min älskade själsfrände Sylvia Plath.Ive been tearing around in my fucking nightgown / 24/7 Sylvia Plath, sjunger Lana Del Rey i Hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have.Ursäkta mig, men så gjorde aldrig Sylvia. Saken är den att när ni andra behagar vakna hade hon redan läst, skrivit, bakat och tagit hand om den enorma trädgården. Förmodligen skurat bort lite av det där vidriga brittiska flottet också. Och kanske målat en vägg. Teds manus renskrev hon kvällen innan och såg till att de gick iväg med dagens post. Men myten är seglivad. Hur många filmer har ni inte sett där den suicidala pixie-tjejen sitter och läser "Glaskupan"?Sylvia var åtta år när hon fick sin första dikt publicerad. När hon fick ett B bland alla A gjorde det henne fysiskt sjuk. Hon var bäst på allt hon tog sig för, inklusive bedriften att vara matglad men trots det ha en slank kropp. Sylvia stod inte ut med att inte vara perfekt. Hon var extremt ambitiös, målmedveten och disciplinerad.Jag tror dock inte att Sylvia vänder sig i sin grav på grund av sin felaktiga image. Sylvia visste något. Att den som är perfekt alltid vinner i slutändan. Alla Mauros vill ändå till sist ha en varm välstädad lägenhet att rumla hem till där lakanen är så där krispigt nytvättade och kylen är full av hans favoritkäk. Där räkningarna aldrig sparkas in under någon byrå utan faktiskt betalas i tid. Och där han inte heller behöver utföra någon jävla manssyssla som att byta bildäck eller klippa gräs. Det finns appar för sådant. Fiffigt va!Alla pixiebrudar kan sitta och ruttna i sina opiumhålor. De har inte en chans mot perfekta kvinnor som Sylvia! Inte en chans. För de vet inte vem de tävlar mot. För Sylviorna är beredda att gå i döden för sin sak. Att vara perfekt. Och dö var ju något som bekant något Sylvia the girl who wanted be god gjorde mycket bra. Hade hon levt hade hon fått Nobelpriset.Sex dagar innan Sylvia dog skrev hon Edge.The woman is perfectedHer deadBody wears the smile of accomplishmentLinda Skugge, författare

Why do people spit in mouths? Why do white people clap on the 1 and the 3? If Boka and Garrett and signature colognes, what would they smell like? These questions and more will be answered on this episode of Bromance Podcast covering Music and Lyrics! This episode has everything—Boka and Garrett continuing not to understand Drew Barrymore's rom com appeal, western appropriation of Buddhism, and some unnecessary slander of British codebreaker Alan Turing. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bromancepod/support

Todos tienen a su chica de fantasía y también a su Summer que les rompió el corazón. Con Ruth Castro, de El Astillero Librería, exploramos los oscuros lugares de la psique masculina (y un poco femenina también) para descubrir la fascinación por las chicas optimistas, alternativas, únicas y diferentes.

Trisha and Ambar expose themselves as performative servants of the Male Gaze and call out the Cool Girls, Mean Girls, and Manic Pixie Dream Girls of media. They also share their personal experiences in those tropes and ultimately conclude that self-awareness is embarrassing. (CW: eating disorders, body image, sexual trauma)

On les croise dans les comédies indépendantes américaines, mais pas seulement: les Manic Pixie Dream Girls, ce sont ces jeunes femmes qui plaisent aux hommes parce qu'elles semblent sortir de l'ordinaire. Ils s'en servent pour redorer leur égo et se sentir plus conquérants. Un stéréotype qui rencontre plus d'une résonance dans la vie réelle… Un mercredi sur deux, Mansplaining observe les masculinités à travers des œuvres culturelles et des faits d'actualité. Parce que la parole masculine est dominante, sauf lorsqu'il s'agit d'interroger les privilèges des hommes. Si vous aimez Mansplaining, pensez à l'exprimer en lui donnant la note maximale sur iTunes et ailleurs, en en parlant autour de vous, et en laissant plein de commentaires bienveillants sur les réseaux sociaux.

Episode 207: Nervous Timid Goth Boys vs Manic Pixie Dream Girls - How a Single Trope can Shift Narrative Preference Different tropes are designed to appeal to different readers and viewers, and, as the dragons have said on many occasions, there is nothing inherently wrong with tropes. Why not give your audience more of what it wants? However there are tropes that are packaged in such a way as to close the narrative of a story to perspectives other than the default, and do so under the guise of providing a strong female lead or co-lead. These tropes can be damaging and need some re-engineering. This week, Jules and Madeleine take a look at one of the most infamous character tropes - the Manic Pixie Dream Girl - and it's possible antithesis - the Nervous Timid Goth Boy. On the slab this episode - Scott Pilgrim, Weird Science, The Belgariad by David Eddings and many more.   Title Music: Ecstasy by Smiling Cynic

We finish Season 3 of Flicks XRayed with episode 50 and this week we watch and review Yes Man.

As we enter our twelfth night, Steve sits down with comedy powerhouse Charlie Vero-Martin to weave a magical evening of whiskey, laughs and shortbread. Charlie brings a tenacious initiative and preparation to the table, managing to subvert and also embody: "Enchantment". In a rambling, boozy, giggly, left-field chat, we are transported through time itself; encountering Scottish witches of yesteryear, an alcoholic Eve in the Garden Of Eden, and unwillingly-diagnosed Manic Pixie Dream Girls in present day. Can we really cast a spell with our words? Is being bewitching the highest praise or an excuse to throw blame? Are we truly helpless against the charms of others or are we just passing the buck? Should our love lives be about magical moments or a shared pragmatism? And who the hell is this Baxter guy and why does he look so sad?  Charlie Vero-Martin is a whip-smart seasoned performer who deals in character comedy, stand-up, acting, improv, sketch, and dance. She is bringing her unique mix of historical character comedy and stand-up back to this year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival with "Scrapbook". Go see it at The Gilded Balloon, from 31st-25th (not on the 12th), and experience her moxy for yourself.

Zach Braff’s Garden State is a very personal one for Tony and Nadia, as they both loved this movie when they were in high school, purchased it on DVD, and now have to reckon with the insufferable, excruciating mess that the film actually is. Nadia shares stories from women who have been treated like Manic Pixie Dream Girls. This is the most singing we’ve done on any of the podcast episodes so far.

Woah, woah, woah. Ken and Kendra are beginning their national campaign to get Peri Gilpin's Instagram verified. We talk about our dreams for a Frasier reboot. We dive deep on the new Netflix movie, To All The Boys I Loved Before.

We shoulda done this episode in our Katharine Hepburn voices, ‘cause we’re talking as fast as we can to keep up with Howard Hawks over here! Wendy Mays of the Pet Cinematary podcast (#LadyPodSquad) joins us for a conversation about the 1938 classic screwball comedy Bringing Up Baby, starring Hepburn and Cary Grant and directed by Howard Hawks. Listen in as we attempt to explain (and remember) this crazy plot, tell silly stories from the set, and dive into Hepburn’s role as one of the earliest Manic Pixie Dream Girls in cinema. Is Baby a human baby? (Nope.) Do Luke and Lorelai have a Grant and Hepburn dynamic? (Yep.) Would Kyla, Taylor, and Wendy like to hang out with a leopard? (Debatable.)

If you want quirky women, look no further than this episode where I debate the Manic Pixie Dream Girl title given to Kirsten Dunst and her red hat in Elizabethtown. I also complain about Amelie sticking her hand in things and grinning from under her bangs. I miss Orlando Bloom.

Remember when everybody loved Garden State? Strange as it seems, Zach Braff's directorial debut was widely praised on release - so why has its reputation curdled so dramatically in recent years? Louise Ball joins us this week to discuss Manic Pixie Dream Girls, alarming animal cruelty and to help pitch the sequels that none of us actually want to see... Released in 2004 at the height of Zach Braff's Scrubs fame, Garden State was a slow-burn box office success, grossing over $35 million against a $2.5 million budget, bouyed by a Grammy-winning soundtrack and enthusiastic reviews. Despite this initial success, the movie later attracted criticism for its ponderous exploration of mid-twenties ennui and the characterisation of Natalie Portman's female romantic lead as less a recognisable human being than an infantilised collection of infuriatingly self-conscious quirks.  Is Garden State totally without merit? We didn't quite think so. In this episode we discuss some of the reasons the movie was initially so successful - as well as the many elements that have aged poorly in the cold light of 2018. In pitching our own sequels, one of us attempts to inject some excitement by splicing the cast with a modern sci-fi phenomenon with an equally iconic soundtrack, one of us digs into the appalling animal cruelty hinted at in the original film, and one of us decides to ditch the insufferable central duo altogether and allow some of the movie's most memorable supporting characters to take centre stage... ----- Beyond The Box Set is a top ten TV & Film podcast officially rated 'Binge Worthy' by Apple Podcasts. Each week, we take a classic standalone movie and compete to pitch the most ridiculous sequels, prequels and spin-offs to bring them back to the big screen.  We're available on virtually all major Podcasting platforms and most forms of social media.
