After “Wicked,” What Do We Want from the Musical?

The American musical is in a state of flux. Today's Broadway offerings are mostly jukebox musicals and blatant I.P. grabs; original ideas are few and far between. Meanwhile, one of the biggest films of the season is Jon M. Chu's earnest (and lengthy) adaptation of “Wicked,” the origin story of the Wicked Witch of the West that first premièred on the Great White Way nearly twenty years ago—and has been a smash hit ever since. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz discuss why “Wicked” is resonating with audiences in 2024. They consider it alongside other recent movie musicals, such as “Emilia Pérez,” which centers on the transgender leader of a Mexican cartel, and Todd Phillips's follow-up to “Joker,” the confounding “Joker: Folie à Deux.” Then they step back to trace the evolution of the musical, from the first shows to marry song and story in the nineteen-twenties to the seventies-era innovations of figures like Stephen Sondheim. Amid the massive commercial, technological, and aesthetic shifts of the last century, how has the form changed, and why has it endured? “People who don't like musicals will often criticize their artificiality,” Schwartz says. “Some things in life are so heightened . . . yet they're part of the real. Why not put them to music and have singing be part of it?”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Wicked” (2024)“The Animals That Made It All Worth It,” by Naomi Fry (The New Yorker)“Ben Shapiro Reviews ‘Wicked' ”“Frozen” (2013)“Emilia Pérez” (2024)“Joker: Folie à Deux” (2024)“ ‘Joker: Folie à Deux' Review: Make 'Em Laugh (and Yawn),” by Manohla Dargis (the New York Times)“Hair” (1979)“The Sound of Music” (1965)“Anything Goes” (1934)“Show Boat” (1927)“Oklahoma” (1943)“Mean Girls” (2017)“Hamilton” (2015)“Wicked” (2003)“A Strange Loop” (2019)“Teeth” (2024)“Kimberly Akimbo” (2021)New episodes drop every Thursday.

Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/BENEATH and get on your way to being your best self.” ** When THERESA HARRIS appears on screen, you cannot take your eyes off of her. Beautiful, talented, and a skilled singer and dancer, she lights up any scene she's in. Despite appearing in over 100 films, she rarely received screen credit and most often played a maid, waitress, or other types of domestic servant. Her parts were small, but her charisma and presence on screen were enormous! As a black woman in the early days of Hollywood, she was limited in the roles she could perform by the restrictive Hayes Code of 1934 and the horrible Jim Crow laws of the South. Still, she is a welcome presence in so many classic films. This week, we look at the extraordinary life and career of the talented THERESA HARRIS.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: “Theresa Harris, Credited and Uncredited in Over 100 Films,” March 28, 2024, by Herb Boyd, New York Amsterdam News; “Just a Maid in Movies, But Not Forgotten,” April 21, 2011, by Manohla Dargis, The New York Times; “The Underrated Charms of Theresa Harris,” July 11, 2020, by Constance Cherise, TCM.com; “Theresa Harris: Television and Film Actress of the 1930s,” August 18, 2023, by Jae Jones, BackThen.com; “Actress Theresa Harris Hollywood Vixen Turned Servant,”September 2, 2011, by Veronica Wells, Madamenoire; IMDBPro.com; Wikipedia.com; Movies Mentioned:  Thunderbolt (1929), starring Fay Wray and George Brent; Hold Your Man (1932), starring Jean Harlow and Clark Gable; Baby Face (1933), starring Barbara Stanwyck and George Brent; Professional Sweetheart (1933), starring Ginger Rogers, Norman Foster, and Zasu Pitts; Horse Feathers (1932), starring The Marx Brothers and Thelma Todd; Gold Diggers of 1933 (1933), starring Joan Blondell, Dick Powell, Ruby Keeler, and Ginger Rogers; Morning Glory (1933), starring Katharine Hepburn and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr; Flying Down to Rio (1933), starring Delores Del Rio, Gene Raymond, Ginger Rogers, and Fred Astaire; Broadway Melody of 1936 (1935), starring Jack Benny and Eleanor Powell; Banjo On My Knee (1936), starring Barbara Stanwyck and Joel McCrea; Bargain With Bullets (aka The Gangster's On The Loose) (1937), starring Ralph Cooper and Theresa Harris; Jezebel (1938), starring Bette Davis, Henry Fonda, and George Brent; Tell No Tales (1939), starring Melvyn Douglas and Louise Platt; Buck Benny Rides Again (1940), starring Jack Benny, Ellen Drew, Eddie “Rochester” Anderson, and Theresa Harris; What's Buzzin' Cousin?

[NB: Due to file-corruption issues, this episode's sound isn't stellar; apologies for any inconvenience!] For a third-choice star in a first-draft action movie, Dennis Quaid's quite good in 2008's Vantage Point, a fridge-magnet-poetry "thriller" script whose "what if In The Line Of Fire + 24 + Dave gave DQ the adrenaline trots" logline invited multiple weary comparisons to Rashomon in (uniformly negative) reviews. Despite dialogue some film student shook out of the Michael Bay Presents: Boggle cup, a Frogger algorithm used as a car chase, inconsistent blocking, an inert title, and Quaid adopting the wrong posture for a Secret Service agent, we did find a handful of things to enjoy, like William Hurt doing an imitation of that flappy dude outside the car wash while getting shot, and imagining Niles Crane listing budget rental-car models.

The NC-17 Blonde has hit Netflix, and boy, are people fired up (“necrophiliac entertainment” wrote Manohla Dargis at NYT). At nearly three hours, the fictionalized version of Marilyn Monroe's life is tough to watch — unrelentingly bleak, a bit disjointed, with a camera that can be as vulturous as the vultures it critiques — but damn if that movie didn't haunt us both, and Ana de Armas gives an incandescent performance that has both of us thinking of cutting and bleaching our hair (which Sarah promised to do if we get enough paid subscribers). We talk about the fame trap, whether the film is “anti-abortion,” and if Hollywood will ever stop feeding on Marilyn's corpse. The fame trap came for Anthony Bourdain, the restless wanderer and beloved chef who gets the unauthorized biography treatment later this month with Down and Out in Paradise. How did the man generally regarded as having the best job in the world end up taking his own life? Can a book sourced only by the people left behind by “the Tony train” possibly give a full account?

💰 EE. UU., oligarquía en potencia

23 de mayo | Nueva YorkLeer esta newsletter te llevará 11 minutos y 12 segundos.¿Has conocido a Anne? Bienvenido a La Wikly.🇺🇸 ¿País de oligarcas?Lo importante: una nueva decisión judicial del Tribunal Supremo este mes volvió a dejar claro el papel protagónico del dinero en las campañas electorales en Estados Unidos. Es solo un capítulo más de la política de un país cada vez más influenciada por los ricos.Muchos de los cuales son congresistas y senadores, como bien veremos más adelante.Explícamelo: el Supremo de mayoría conservadora dictaminó que los políticos en el cargo pueden reembolsar dinero que hayan prestado a sus campañas incluso después de haber ganado las elecciones; sin límites en la cifra.La decisión es controvertida, pero no sorprende vistas las decisiones que ha tomado el Supremo en ese contexto, especialmente ahora que seis jueces conservadores tienen el control ideológico de la corte.Contexto: la decisión más importante en ese término se remonta al año 2010, cuando el caso Citizens United v. Comisión Electoral Federal abrió la veda a que empresas, fundaciones o sindicatos tuvieran el poder de influenciar elecciones a golpe de talonario.A grandes rasgos, Citizens United permitió que grupos conocidos como Super PAC pudieran recibir cantidades ilimitadas de dinero que después invertir en campañas políticas de la forma en la que quisieran.Principalmente, los gastos van dirigidos a publicidad de defensa y ataque para ayudar o perjudicar a los candidatos de la elección de esas Super PAC. A veces, algunos grupos gastan decenas de millones de dólares para catapultar o enterrar a un candidato.La única condición importante es que esos grupos tienen prohibido coordinarse con las campañas de los candidatos, pero es algo que ciertos políticos están ignorando con iniciativas tan creativas como marcar en rojo en sus páginas web aquel contenido que quieren que sus grupos afines destaquen en sus inversiones publicitarias.¿Y ahora? Cada vez es más habitual ver a candidatos millonarios entrar en carreras políticas con el apoyo de su propia cuenta bancaria. Y si no son sus cofres, lo son los de sus socios millonarios que invierten millones de dólares en Super PAC paralelas.Lo vimos en las primarias republicanas al Senado por Ohio y por Pennsylvania, donde o bien había millonarios firmando cheques para sus campañas (Mike Gibbons, Mehmet Oz, Dave McCormick) o bien los firmaban otros por ellos (Peter Thiel, cofundador de PayPal, con J.D. Vance).Pero entonces, ¿qué es lo último que ha pasado?⚖️ Nueva ayuda judicialLa Corte Suprema de Estados Unidos avaló este mes la eliminación del límite que impone la normativa federal a los candidatos para recaudar fondos después de sus elecciones para devolverse el dinero que prestaron a su campaña.Es decir, los candidatos adinerados que prestan millones de dólares a sus propias campañas pueden obtener un cargo público y luego acudir a sus principales donantes para reponer las sumas que se prestaron en un primer lugar.La normativa hasta hace poco vigente se aprobó en 2002 como parte de la Ley Bipartidista de Reforma de Campañas. Lo que hacía era poner un tope de 250.000 dólares en la cantidad de dinero recaudado después de unas elecciones que las campañas pueden usar para pagar préstamos personales de los candidatos.El senador Ted Cruz, demandante en el caso, había argumentado que el límite de 250.000 dólares violaba la Primera Enmienda, restringiendo la libertad de expresión política sin preocupaciones de corrupción quid pro quo legítimas que la justifiquen.“El gobierno no puede identificar un solo caso de corrupción quid pro quo en este contexto. […] Y como asunto práctico, los préstamos personales a veces pueden ser la única forma en la que un candidato desconocido que desafía a alguien en un cargo público y conexiones limitadas puede potenciar el gasto de su campaña desde un primer momento”, escribió el presidente del Supremo John Roberts, de ideología conservadora, en su opinión mayoritaria.La defensa explicaba que los políticos pueden tener conflictos de interés una vez en el cargo. Si quieren recuperar el dinero prestado a su propia campaña antes de ganar su escaño, tienen la opción de pedir donaciones a cambio de votar de una forma u otra.“Reembolsar el préstamo de un candidato después de haber ganado unas elecciones no puede servir a los propósitos habituales de una contribución: el dinero llega demasiado tarde como para ayudar a cualquiera de sus actividades de campaña. Todo lo que hace el dinero es enriquecer al candidato personalmente en un momento en el que puede devolver el favor —por un voto, un contrato, un nombramiento. No hace falta ser un genio político para ver el riesgo elevado de corrupción”, escribió Elena Kazan, miembro progresista del Supremo, en su opinión minoritaria.Con esta última decisión, la Corte Suprema impulsa la capacidad de los donantes adinerados para enriquecer personalmente a los candidatos de su elección, incluidos a aquellos que invirtieron millones en sus propias campañas y siempre que acaben prevaleciendo el día de las elecciones.Si bien los donantes individuales todavía están sujetos al tope de contribución por elección (2.900 dólares por campaña en 2022), la decisión de la Corte Suprema significa que los candidatos pueden recaudar mucho más de ellos en conjunto para pagar sus propios préstamos.La decisión del tribunal es retroactiva, lo que significa que las campañas de este ciclo que tengan préstamos de candidatos podrán aprovechar las nuevas reglas después de sus elecciones. 95 candidatos a la Cámara y al Senado ya han prestado a sus campañas más de 250.000 dólares, según los registros de la Comisión Federal de Elecciones.En las primarias senatoriales de Pennsylvania, el famoso médico Mehmet Oz se enfrenta al financiador de cobertura David McCormick y a la exfuncionaria de la administración Trump Carla Sands. Oz ha prestado casi 15 millones de dólares a su propia campaña, mientras que McCormick prestó 11 millones y Sands aportó otros 3,9.En Arizona, el empresario republicano Jim Lamon le ha prestado a su campaña para el Senado 13 millones.En Alabama, el republicano Mike Durant prestó unos 2,6 millones a su campaña para el Senado.Y en Wisconsin, el demócrata Alex Lasry prestó a su campaña para el Senado más de 7 millones. Su principal oponente, Sarah Godlewski, ha prestado casi 3 millones a la suya.💸 Políticos acaudaladosQue haya candidatos con mucho dinero para poder desafiar a políticos en un cargo público, o acaso para optar a nuevos escaños abiertos por una jubilación o muerte, está lejos de ser novedad.Un estudio de Open Secrets reveló que el año pasado los candidatos a elecciones invirtieron un total de más de 100.000 millones de dólares en sus propias campañas electorales.Según estos datos, la mayoría de los candidatos autofinanciados de 2021 son republicanos. Registraron un total de 85,6 millones de autofinanciación en el año, en comparación con los 22,7 millones de los demócratas.En 2020, otro estudio de Open Secrets señalaba que más de la mitad de los miembros del Capitolio eran millonarios. La mediana del patrimonio neto de congresistas y senadores que presentaron declaraciones en 2019 es de poco más de 1 millón de dólares.Sin embargo, la enorme riqueza de algunos miembros del órgano contrastaba con la carencia de otros. Mientras que algunos legisladores todavía adeudaban préstamos estudiantiles, otros estaban pagando su tercera o cuarta hipoteca.Los líderes de ambas cámaras forman la lista de los 10 principales. La presidenta de la Cámara de Representantes, Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), ha visto aumentar su riqueza a casi 115 millones de dólares desde los 41 que tenía en 2004, el primer año en el que OpenSecrets comenzó a rastrear las finanzas personales.El líder de la mayoría del Senado, Mitch McConnell, vio aumentar su patrimonio neto desde 3 millones a más de 34 durante ese mismo periodo.🔭 ¿Y adónde vamos?Con la decisión de Citizens United y varias posteriores como la que nos trae aquí hoy, el Supremo estadounidense ha determinado que decidir dónde invertir dinero es una cuestión de derechos fundamentales. En concreto, de libertad de expresión.Por tanto, invertir dinero en campañas políticas, que es la cumbre del debate público, debe estar protegido a nivel constitucional.Esa perspectiva es y sigue siendo controvertida, sobre todo en un país donde la desigualdad económica es cada vez más rampante y el 1 por ciento acumula cada vez más riqueza.Y aunque ambos partidos han sabido aprovechar la proliferación de las Super PAC, ya hay estudios que han determinado que es el partido republicano el que mejores resultados ha logrado tras la decisión de Citizens United.La pregunta es, ¿será capaz Estados Unidos de entender y solucionar los problemas de la clase trabajadora cuando sus políticos son más ricos a cada ciclo electoral que concluye?¿Desea saber más? En The Atlantic tienen una columna interesante sobre lo que el movimiento progresista puede hacer para contrarrestar estas decisiones judiciales que juegan en contra de sus sueños por políticas más redistributivas. Y esta entrevista al catedrático Jeffrey Winters especializado en el estudio de la oligarquía es un buen plus a esta newsletter.🎬 Una recomendaciónCon la colaboración de FilminCosmópolis es una película canadiense de 2012 dirigida por David Cronenberg. Sigue el trayecto en limusina de un ejecutivo que quiere cortarse el pelo en su barbería de confianza, situada en la otra punta de la ciudad de Nueva York. Durante el recorrido, el capitalismo que lo enriqueció se desmorona a su alrededor.Robert Pattinson encabeza el reparto en el papel de Eric Packer. Fue la primera película puramente de autor del actor lejos de su periplo comercial con Harry Potter y Crepúsculo —uno que agradecemos hasta el día de hoy por habernos dado interpretaciones geniales en títulos como The Rover, La ciudad perdida de Z, Good Time o High Life.Cronenberg adapta la novela homónima de Don DeLillo, no exactamente su trabajo más aclamado pese a la reputación que le precede en Estados Unidos. Y esta película sufrió casi el mismo destino, pues la crítica la desplumó tildándola de aburrida, anodina y evidente.Pero por esa misma razón creo que Cosmópolis es tan interesante y puede disfrutarse desde una perspectiva menos analítica. No es tanto la ambición ni las pretensiones lo que fascina, sino la forma en la que lo presenta (qué forma de rodar en interiores) y la forma en la que lo narra (esas interpretaciones y esos diálogos desprovistos de vitalidad; esa comicidad seca y cruel).Me quedo con esta cita de Manohla Dargis para The New York Times, muy relevante en los tiempos que corren:“Tomada como un comentario sobre el estado del mundo en la era del tardocapitalismo (para empezar), Cosmópolis puede parecer obvia y casi banal. Pero estas banalidades, que están acompañadas por miradas vidriosas, también son la clave: el mundo está quemándose y todo lo que algunos de nosotros hacemos es ver las llamas con una familiaridad exhausta”.Cosmópolis está disponible en Filmin.🌐 Facebook concreta planesBy Marina EnrichLo importante: Nick Clegg, el presidente de asuntos globales de Meta, escribió un artículo la semana pasada exponiendo en unas 8.000 palabras qué significa el metaverso y por qué es relevante. Sí, igual no es la forma más efectiva de hacerlo cuando tienen como misión “acercar a la gente”, lol.Contexto: en octubre, Facebook anunciaba que iba a cambiar su nombre a Meta para representar el nuevo rumbo de la empresa hacia el metaverso.Es importante recordar que ese cambio se hizo en medio de una muy mala racha de imagen por falta de transparencia.Wait, ¿qué era el metaverso? El metaverso es una experiencia más inmersiva de internet. Incorpora la realidad virtual, pero no solamente eso. Hoy en día quienes más han desarrollado ideas del metaverso son juegos online como Roblox o Minecraft. Emilio tiene un vídeo hablando del tema.Las claves: Durante estos últimos meses, tanto Clegg como Mark Zuckerberg han desarrollado las siguientes ideas sobre el metaverso:El metaverso no es un producto como lo es Instagram. Es una infraestructura que no posee nadie y en la que todo el mundo debería poder desarrollar ideas —y es ahí dentro donde Meta desarrollaría productos.Meta no gobernará el metaverso, “igual que no hay un internet de Google, o un internet de Microsoft”, dice Clegg. Aunque con el poder que tienen estas grandes tecnológicas, es fácil argumentar que sí tienen un papel importante en la futura gobernanza.Los problemas de moderación continuarán. En el metaverso habrá los mismos problemas que tenemos en la vida real y Meta sigue sin plantear soluciones. Las reglas que habrá dependerán de la “sección” en la que estés dentro del metaverso.En 10-15 años, o quizá más, veremos el metaverso tal y como lo imaginan Clegg y compañía.El Presidente de Asuntos Globales de Meta ha planteado muchas preguntas sobre el metaverso y no ha resuelto tantas dudas. Está claro que es un gran reto, pero visto el pasado (y presente) de Meta, no se pueden permitir no ser más transparentes con sus planes de acción para lidiar con esos problemas.Además, tampoco ha hablado sobre los planes de monetización de Meta en el metaverso, pero como ya los sabemos (i.e. rastrear y elaborar perfiles para comercializar los datos), es muy difícil que no nos genere desconfianza.Pero bueno, como dice Clegg al acabar el artículo, el metaverso va a llegar, queramos o no. 🙃En otro orden de cosas, hoy ha vuelto Lunes por el mundo con novedades sobre la gira de Joe Biden en Asia, la caída de Mariúpol en Ucrania o los temporales que han devastado ciudades en India y Bangladesh, entre otros titulares internacionales.Puedes volver a ver el directo completo en Twitch.Feliz semana, This is a public episode.

Episode 13 of Season 2! Host, Gratton Conwill and special guest, Matt Fields discuss The Invisible Man (2020). Day 13 The Invisible Man 2h 4m Released on February 28th of 2020, The Invisible Man was written and directed by Australian filmmaker Leigh Whannell. This film is the most recent reboot in a series of films based on the Invisible Man Novel by H.G. Wells. This film had a particularly long development dating all the way back to 2006. Originally David S. Goyer was set to write the script for Universal, but by 2011, after no real progress, he was out of the picture. In 2016, the idea was revived as part of a new cinematic universe featuring several classic universal monsters. Ed Solomon was brought on board to write the new script, and Johnny Depp was cast as the titular invisible man. After the financial and critical failure of 2017's The Mummy, the first film in the aforementioned cinematic universe, Universal pictures trashed all plans for subsequent films, opting to release stand alone reboot films for each character with no connected universe. By this point, Jason Blum came on board as producer, and Leigh Whannell was hired to write and direct. This team would finally see the film release 14 years after the reboot was initially proposed. Upon release, The Invisible Man made its money back in just one day, and would gross over 20 times its budget at the box office during its theatrical run. Reviews were overwhelmingly positive, among the movie's fans was respected film critic Manohla Dargis. The film may have enjoyed even more success had it not been moved to streaming services three weeks after its theatrical debut as a result of Covid-19 theater closures. Director Whannell has stated that the film was created as a standalone film with a definitive ending, however due to the unprecedented success of The Invisible Man, more follow up movies are not out of the question. Today The Invisible Man has: 3.6/5 on Letterboxd 7.1/10 on IMDb 91% on rotten tomatoes 84% on google 72% on Metacritic 7.8 average CTS score From the creators of Giant Monster BS: Gratton Conwill and Matt Fields bring you Only In Amityville season 2: Escape from Amityville! Escape from Amityville is a limited series podcast event happening exclusively during October of 2021! Starting October 1st, we will review one movie every other day.

Details, credits, errata: Episode 7, An Extra or a Principal, is written by Sam Thielman and Alissa Wilkinson, produced by Sam and distributed by Alissa, with our very special guest, A.O. Scott—Tony, to his friends. Tony is the co-chief film critic at the New York Times and does not have to be nearly as nice as he is. Please go read his wonderful book Better Living Through Criticism at once; you can buy it here. Our film for the week is the Coen Brothers’ 2016 Hollywood comedy Hail, Caesar!, a favorite of, it turns out, everybody on the pod this week, so a certain amount of it is Sam quoting the lines and laughing at himself, but Tony and Alissa are good. Tony and his co-chief critic Manohla Dargis interviewed the Coens a couple of years before this film came out; we commend the interview to anybody who likes the Coens, which is basically anyone who likes movies.Our episode art for the week is a still from the very, very end of The Robe, the movie Hail, Caesar! A Tale of the Christ is travestying. It’s directed by Henry Koster, incidentally, who also brought last week’s film, The Story of Ruth, into the world. Some significant figures in our discussion beyond the Coens: The Marxist philosopher Herbert Marcuse figures prominently in the film; feel free to read about him here, at a website run by one of his grandkids. Edgar Mannix, the Josh Brolin character and the hero of the film, was a real guy: Here’s his obituary from the September 9 issue of Boxoffice Magazine. American Cinematography has a good feature on Busby Berkeley’s synchronized swimmers here, including a delightful video. The Channing Tatum character owes a lot to Gene Kelly, as does the musical number “No Dames!”, especially Anchors Aweigh.

Her latest feature, The Brink, where she followed Steve Bannon around for over a year up to and through the 2018 midterm elections, is available on Hulu.

Scott and Manohla Dargis on their international list of 20 Directors to Watch. Alison’s documentary work has been recognized with awards and box office success, and she also directs nonfiction series and commercials. Her debut feature AI WEIWEI: NEVER SORRY, about the Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei, premiered at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival where it was awarded a US Documentary Special Jury Prize for Spirit of Defiance. It had its international premiere at Berlinale and went on to be shortlisted for an Academy Award, nominated for two Emmys, and earn Alison a DGA Award nomination and an appearance on The Colbert Report among other honors. NEVER SORRY has now been translated into over 26 languages and had major theatrical releases around the world, including on over 200 screens with IFC Films in the United States. It was also one of the highest grossing films of 2012 directed by a woman. Her newest documentary THE BRINK was theatrically released in 2019 by Magnolia Pictures. In it she takes on former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, following him for over a year as he tries to promote his brand of extreme nationalism and unite the far-right anti-immigrant parties of Europe. After its Sundance premiere, Variety called the film "impeccably crafted...an engaging and enraging, disturbing and highly revealing movie." In his Critic's Pick review, A.O Scott wrote "it's a fast-moving, tightly packed, at times unnervingly entertaining documentary.” Alison’s other films include the Netflix Original feature documentary TAKE YOUR PILLS about the role of prescription stimulants in a hyper-competitive, overly medicated America. The Emmy and BAFTA-nominated film was executive produced by Maria Shriver and had its world premiere at the 2018 SXSW Film Festival. She is also the director of THE 100 YEARS SHOW about 103-year-old Cuban-American painter Carmen Herrera, who worked in obscurity for decades until finally receiving recognition late in life. The film was a festival favorite and five-time winner of “Best Documentary Short.” It had a theatrical run at New York’s Film Forum, and screened at the Whitney and other museums before being released worldwide on Netflix.

In today's episode, your hosts grapple with the Danny Boyle-directed, Alex Garland-written 2007 science-fiction horror-thriller SUNSHINE. A commercial failure at the time, with a mixed reception among critics, the film has over the past decade gained an appreciable cult following. But what do your hosts think? Is it a spooky, contemplative outer space film with some third act troubles? Is it a stylish but conceptually thin entertainment that needed a major rethink? Maybe both! You'll just have to listen and find out. Also discussed: which story elements worked and which ones didn't; how much we should care about scientific accuracy, the career arcs of Boyle and Garland; and whether it's ever a good idea for smart characters to do dumb things.

Before anything else, films are objects that present a sensorial experience. To understand how they function—as industrial products, as societal mirrors, as ideological machines—we must understand how they interact with our minds and make us think. For the five year anniversary of The Cinephiliacs, Manohla Dargis joins the cast to talk exactly that. The New York Times critic discusses her childhood movie love of watching objects without inhibition and her writing as a form of translating the way of watching films. She also chats about the past and future of the Times, and how the institutional changes have affected the practice of criticism in a digital age. Finally, Manohla and Peter examine Charles Burnett's independent masterpiece Killer of Sheep, examining how the filmmaker's stark portrayal of impoverished black life resonates to today through poetic realism. Plus, a brief chat with James N. Kienitz Wilkins and Robin Schavoir, whose new film, The Republic, is currently streaming on MUBI. 0:00-3:09 Opening 4:23-14:00 Establishing Shots — Five Years of The Cinephiliacs 14:46-47:15 Deep Focus — Manohla Dargis 48:28-1:07:42 Sponsorship Section — An Interview with The Republic team, James N.

Last week, The New York Times sent the internet into a frenzy with their list of ‘The 25 Best Films of the Century So Far’. To get the story of how you even attempt to compress 17 years of cinema into an essential 25 films, Rob and Geoff sit down with one half of the duo behind the list, NYT Chief Film Critic, A.O. Scott. A.O. discusses why he and his partner, Manohla Dargis, thought the time was right to reflect on this century’s best films (4:05), the surprising controversy that comes with championing Clint Eastwood (11:40), and why ranking 'There Will Be Blood' #1 was one of the easier choices they made (14:35). He also talks about why 'Inside Out' stands out in Pixar’s incredible library (18:00), what national cinema he could see rising over the next 17 years (21:20), and why he feels Steven Spielberg might be one of this century’s most underrated filmmakers (24:15).

Award winning Director and Co-writter of the Award Winning Movie, White God, Kornel Mundruczo join's us this week. Winner of the Prize Un Certain Regard Award at this year’s Cannes Festival, Kornel Mundruczo’s newest film is a story of the indignities visited upon animals by their supposed “human superiors,” but it’s also an brutal, beautiful metaphor for the political and cultural tensions sweeping contemporary Europe. When young Lili is forced to give up her beloved dog Hagen, because it's mixed-breed heritage is deemed 'unfit' by The State, she and the dog begin a dangerous journey back towards each other. At the same time, all the unwanted, unloved and so-called 'unfit' dogs rise up under a new leader, Hagen, the one-time housepet who has learned all too well from his 'Masters' in his journey through the streets and animal control centers how to bite the hands that beats him … “FIERCE AND BEAUTIFUL. Extraordinarily choreographed.” – Manohla Dargis, The New York Times "REMARKABLE AND RIVETING. This surprising movie is perhaps the most memorable of all the films I saw at this year's Cannes Film Festival. It's haunting, and quite extraordinary." - Pete Hammond, Deadline Hollywood "Emotionally rousing and technically masterful." – Guy Lodge, Variety “A triumphantly idiosyncratic film with smarts and visceral impact in equal measure.” – Jessica Kiang, The Playlist on Indiewire “A potent metaphor for everything from immigration to the abuse of power, with it’s striking finale serving as stark warning about our own arrogant belief that we’ll always be at the top of the food chain.” – Alistair Harnkess, The Scotsman
