Tu connais Trinity dans Matrix ? Hermione dans Harry Potter ? Padmé dans Star Wars ? Ces personnages ont un point commun : elles sont brillantes, compétentes, badass... mais restent dans l'ombre du héros masculin. Le syndrome de Trinity, c'est un schéma narratif inventé par la journaliste Tasha Robinson. Il décrit ces personnages féminins super compétents qui finissent par ne servir qu'à mettre en valeur le héros masculin, souvent moins qualifié qu'elles.Dans cet épisode, Julie Gielen Michel (@petitelectureinclusive) décortique cette mécanique narrative frustrante où les femmes les plus douées deviennent des faire-valoir. Pourquoi Trinity, qui maîtrise tout, n'est-elle pas l'Élue ? Comment ces représentations conditionnent-elles nos enfants ? Et surtout, comment reconnaître et déconstruire ce syndrome pour offrir de meilleurs modèles ?Chroniques du sexisme ordinaire, c'est un podcast de Marine-Pétroline Soichot qui débusque le sexisme avec pédagogie, humour et zéro culpabilité.Pour aller plus loin

Hosts Riki and Matthew welcome returning guest Jessica Plummer to dive deep into Marvel's Thunderbolts* and its bold attempt to explore mental illness within the superhero genre. The discussion examines whether the film succeeds in portraying depression authentically or falls into problematic tropes about sad white men needing rescue.The hosts debate whether the film's treatment of Bob/Sentry reinforces toxic masculinity tropes or genuinely explores community support for mental health struggles. Jessica argues that Yelena remains the true protagonist throughout, while Matthew initially worried the film prioritized Bob's emotional journey over everyone else's.How does the movie portray different types of depression across its ensemble cast? The conversation explores how each character—Yelena's open struggles, Bucky's careful masking, Alexi's self-medication—represents different manifestations of depression and coping mechanisms. The hosts examine whether the film successfully shows that depression isn't one-size-fits-all.Can superhero blockbusters meaningfully address serious mental health issues? The discussion weighs whether films with action sequences and quips can authentically explore topics like depression, or if the entertainment format undermines the message. They consider how Thunderbolts* compares to other MCU attempts at mental health representation.Does the film's "group hug" resolution feel authentic or overly simplistic? Drawing from a Polygon article by Tasha Robinson, the hosts examine whether the movie adequately addresses the shame and complexity of accepting help during mental health crises, or if it presents an unrealistic fantasy of easy healing.Other Topics CoveredThe significance of Yelena as the true protagonist versus Bob as a supporting characterHow the film's non-romantic dynamic between Yelena and Bob affects the narrativeComparison between comic book Sentry/Void and the movie adaptationThe role of community and connection in mental health recoveryVisual metaphors for depression (the hole/ladder analogy, elevator shaft scene)John Walker's portrayal of domestic depression and toxic masculinityThe impact of different casting choices on the film's themesHow Thunderbolts fits within broader MCU mental health representationThe creative team's background in depression-focused storytelling (The Bear, Beef)**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for October 11, 2024 is: scapegoat • SKAYP-goat • noun A scapegoat is a person who is unfairly blamed for something others have done. // The CFO was made the scapegoat for the company's failures. See the entry > Examples: "It's a lively, funny movie, as more of Littlehampton's locals start getting aggressive letters packed with the same redundant profanity, and respond to them with absolute horror—and a certain amount of glee at having such a deliciously transgressive scandal to chew over, and such a perfect scapegoat as Rose to blame for all of it." — Tasha Robinson, Polygon.com, 27 July 2024 Did you know? On Yom Kippur, the ancient Hebrews would sacrifice one goat for God and lead another one, over whom all the sins of Israel had been confessed, into the wilderness to bear the sins of the people away. The ceremony is described in Leviticus, where it is said that one lot shall be cast for God and one for "Azazel." Modern scholars usually interpret Azazel (ʽazāzēl in Hebrew) as being the name of a demon living in the desert, but ancient biblical translators thought ʽazāzēl referred to the goat itself, apparently confusing the word with the Hebrew phrase ʽēz 'ōzēl, meaning "goat that departs." Thus, in a 16th century English translation, the word for Azazel/the goat was rendered as scapegoote—that is, "goat that escapes." The extended senses of scapegoat we use today evolved from this biblical use.

What's scarier: Creatures from the uncanny valley crawling up to do horrifying things that shouldn't be possible for stop motion animation, or generations of serial killers stalking and scalping their victims? If you answered stop motion, you're right - that's undeniably freakier - but both options are totally worth watching. This week, Grady and Melissa are thoroughly chilled by Stopmotion (United Kingdom, 2023) and Marcus popped some popcorn for thirty years of creepy Danish slashers with Nightwatch (1994) and Nightwatch: Demons are Forever (2023). Plus - inky body horror and a Tubi surprise are dropping this week, and technical difficulties reawaken the AI-generated "Funk Bot" in the last seven-ish minutes. Articles mentioned in this episode: "Stopmotion director says his brand of animation is necromancy," by Tasha Robinson for Polygon "AMC Networks Promotes Emily Gotto to Senior Vice President of Acquisitions and Production for Shudder," by AMC Networks. Note: My memory of this release was fuzzy and I got some important details wrong, but the head of international acquisitions is still getting a big promotion and we still Stan Shudder.

Steven Soderbergh's MAGIC MIKE'S LAST DANCE ends the Channing Tatum male-stripper trilogy in a much different place than it began, centered on the unlikely romance between Tatum's Mike and a wealthy woman, played by Salma Hayek, who's interested in nurturing his talents. And while we're all in agreement that's to the detriment of the movie, it does make for a useful comparison point with 1951's AN AMERICAN IN PARIS. After working through our frustrations with LAST DANCE with the help once again of Chicago critic Deirdre Crimmins, we compare them to our frustrations with AN AMERICAN IN PARIS, as well as the nuances of each film's unbalanced power dynamics and extended climactic dance sequences.  Note: due to a technical failure during recording, some of the audio on this week's episode is suboptimal.

Park Chan-wook's new DECISION TO LEAVE openly takes inspiration from David Lean's 1945 classic BRIEF ENCOUNTER (along with VERTIGO, which we also considered for this pairing), but the extramarital affair at the center of Park's film is much more complicated than that of its inspiration — a murder mystery will do that, after all. We do our best to unpack the pileup of telling details informing Park's slow-burn romance, before bringing Lean's film back into the discussion to explore how these two stories connect in their respective studies of forbidden love and judgmental societies, the romanticism of stolen moments, and the metaphorical power of fog. Plus, we nod to an episode that almost was in Your Next Picture Show, sharing our brief reactions to Ruben Östlund's TRIANGLE OF SADNESS and some of the films we considered pairing it with.

The new JURASSIC WORLD DOMINION is in constant, open communication with 1993's JURASSIC PARK, from its nostalgic casting to its egregious callbacks. But there's more going on in Colin Trevorrow's second sequel to JURASSIC WORLD — perhaps too much, thanks in part to the layers of new mythology that the 2015 film added to the original JURASSIC PARK formula. Is this merging of the two JURASSIC eras to be derided or commended for its ambition in stretching beyond the “dinosaurs on an island” conceit? We argue it out in our discussion of DOMINION, before placing it side-by-side with its source material to consider how the franchise has evolved, and not, in its anthropomorphizing of dinosaurs, its thematic interest in parenthood and reproduction, and its attitudes toward science, heroism, and corporate evil. Plus, the return of Your Next Picture Show, with a recommendation from Keith of Phil Tippett's MAD GOD.

Let's get this out of the way: Yes, we were so preoccupied with whether we could do a JURASSIC PARK pairing, we didn't stop to think if we should. But if not on the occasion of JURASSIC WORLD DOMINION, the new sixth film in the two-trilogy series kicked off by Steven Spielberg in 1994, then when? So we're traveling back to where it began to examine what made JURASSIC PARK a high-water mark for both the franchise and '90s blockbuster filmmaking, whether its cutting-edge blend of practical and CG effects holds up to modern-day scrutiny, and how it balances theme-park spectacle with big ideas about scientific progress and the philosophical quandaries surrounding it.

From its Hollywood setting to its central missing-toons mystery, the new Disney+ streaming exclusive CHIP 'N' DALE: RESCUE RANGERS is openly and carefully patterned after 1988's WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT. Robert Zemeckis' groundbreaking hit set a high bar for cameo-packed, self-aware stories that try to redefine the relationships between animated characters and the physical world, packing in layers of setup and reference and payoff that continue to reveal themselves on rewatch after rewatch. We attempt to unpack some of those layers in our revisit of this group favorite, as well as how it uses our familiarity with noir and cartoons alike to its narrative advantage.

With his first two films, 2017's "Columbus" and the new AFTER YANG, director Kogonada has established a meditative style of filmmaking that rewards close attention. "After Yang" takes place in a near-future that's populated by techno-sapiens, clones, and self-driving cars, but its characters struggle with all too familiar things like death, grief, and the meaning of life. In his conversation with the director, Adam asks about Kogonada's preoccupation with grieving, the quiet, non-confrontational style of his films, and the origins of "After Yang"'s thrilling title sequence. We also share a recent review of "Yang" from our sister podcast, The Next Picture Show, hosted by Tasha Robinson, Scott Tobias, Genevieve Koski, and Keith Phipps.

Weigh anchor and hoist the mizzen! Paul and Arlo set sail for a discussion of David Jenkins' pirate rom-com Our Flag Means Death. The new HBO Max series, a very loose telling of the history between Stede “The Gentleman Pirate” Bonnet and Edward “Blackbeard” Teach, begins as a silly romp very much in the vein of executive producer/star Taika Waititi's other work. And then…well, it becomes something very much more, depicting a number of queer romances in positive, affirming fashion. The boys discuss this shouldn't-be-shocking-in-2022 level of representation, the chemistry between Rhys Darby and Waititi, how closely (or not) the show follows the historical record, the series' moral of not accepting that the way things are is the way they have to be, and more.

Tune in for Arthur's dissection of The Book of Boba Fett, the Disney+ Star Wars spinoff series that takes place after the events of Season 2 of The Mandalorian. For the first time ever, fabled bounty hunter Boba Fett is in the lead role as he—with the aid of assassin ally Fennec Shand—endeavors to take control of the criminal empire that had once been ruled by Jabba the Hutt and then Bib Fortuna. Yep, this means more time on the desert planet of Tatooine.

Is Joel Coen's new THE TRAGEDY OF MACBETH the most by-the-letter, scrupulous adaptation of Shakespeare's play ever put to screen, or a series of subtle but surprising decisions applied to an extremely familiar text? We're a little divided on that question this week, as we're joined once again by David Chen, host of the Culturally Relevant podcast (among many other projects), to parse what distinguishes this approach to The Scottish Play, how it plays within the Coen filmography, and whether every other Coen film is also, in fact, Macbeth. Then we bring Akira Kurosawa's THRONE OF BLOOD back into the conversation to compare the two films' chicken-or-the-egg prophecies, their minimalist/maximalist styles, and the shared motivation to adapt this story in the first place. Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about THRONE OF BLOOD, THE TRAGEDY OF MACBETH, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email to comments@nextpictureshow.net.

Though Michael Mann’s Blackhat and the Wachowskis’ Jupiter Ascending opened to mostly tepid notices, there are pockets of intense interest among critics and fans of their respective bodies of work. On this week’s podcast, we talk about filmmakers whose work is—or is perceived to be—in decline, but who inspire us to keep our hopes us anyway, even knowing that, say, Terry Gilliam’s The Zero Theorem may not turn out to be as good as Brazil. Then we follow up on Nathan Rabin’s Career View on Philip Seymour Hoffman and discuss the actor’s best and most unheralded work a year after his death. A favorite Onion headline inspires the game this week, which asks contestants to distinguish between two 1997 subterranean horror movies, Mimic and The Relic. Then it’s a Senior Editor throwdown as Tasha Robinson and Genevieve Koski battle it out in 30 Seconds To Sell. 

With the flourish of Scary Movie sequels and Friedberg/Seltzer productions like Meet The Spartans and Date Movie, the spoof hit rock bottom a few years ago, but our Movie Of The Week discussion of Airplane! and David Wain’s new rom-com riff They Came Together inspire a fresh look at the art of film comedy’s least respected subgenre. Another near-future MOTW (and Greatest Blockbuster poll winner), Steven Spielberg’s Jaws, has earned praise for keeping the shark off screen until the final third, but we question whether the decision to withhold information from an audience is always the right one. The game this week is “Oh, Roger,” which digs into the reviews, positive and negative, where Roger Ebert broke radically from consensus. And finally, Tasha Robinson and Nathan Rabin square off in the recommendation octagon that is 30 Seconds To Sell.  

TASHA ROBINSON, film critic at The Dissolve, and formerly of The A.V. Club, joins me to talk about the road that led to her becoming one of the best in the industry. During our talk, we also touch on Bob Hoskins' passing, the Star Wars Episode 7 casting announcement, Tasha's VHS film education, the odd jobs she had just out of college, publication editing, aggregate scoring with Metacritic and Rotten Tomatoes, misogyny and trolling on comment boards (with focus on Anita Sarkeesian and "Feminist Frequency"), the state of women in film, Paul Greengrass' "Captain Phillips," what is wrong (and right) with her colleague, Scott Tobias, and we end on her coverage of the Tribeca Film Festival 2014. It's a jam-packed conversation, and I know you'll have a great time listening!The DissolveTasha on TFF 2014Tasha on twitterbitchsandwichWhy Doesn't America Read Anymore?Music on this podcast:"Soma" - Frankie Rose - Stereogum Presents… STROKED: A Tribute To Is This It"Uhuh" - DVA - HUCopyrights are owned by the artists and their labels.

As baseball season starts, so begins the months-long torment of wading through losing streaks, blowouts, and forgettable matinees for those few transcendent moments that make it all worthwhile. But movies can skip right to the big moments, and on this week's podcast, we’ve gathered The Dissolve's only sports fans to talk about it. Then, we're pleased as heck to welcome The New York Times' Dave Itzkoff to discuss Mad As Hell, his new book about the making of Network. The game this week is "Where Did I Leave My Keyword?", in which contestants are asked which of four IMDB Keywords to various 1990s high-school movies doesn’t belong. And finally, Tasha Robinson and Nathan Rabin battle it out in a particularly close 30 Seconds To Sell.

Due to the holiday break, we haven’t recorded a new podcast in a month, but the movies haven’t exactly stopped provoking conversation in our absence. In fact, there’s so much to talk about that we decided to forego our usual game and 30 Seconds To Sell segments just to get to a larger fraction of the topics we had in mind. We start the new year with an argument between podcast hosts Scott Tobias and Tasha Robinson, who tend to disagree a lot, but rarely as fervently as they do on Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf Of Wall Street. From there, an advertisement promoting Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit as “From The Director Of Thor” has us wondering about directors like Kenneth Branagh, whose career seemed to promise one thing, but delivered something else entirely. And finally, we share what movies, new and old, we watched over the holiday break and offer some good recommendations.

The tepid reception from critics and audiences toward Spike Lee’s recent remake of Park Chan-Wook’s dark, stylish 2003 film Oldboy is indicative of some of the problems and preconceptions surrounding American remakes of foreign films. We try to set aside our knee-jerk dislike for such films to discuss what they say about our filmgoing culture, and try to come up with a few successful Hollywood re-imaginings (other than The Ring). In the second segment, host Tasha Robinson talks to Jason Bailey, writer of the new book Pulp Fiction: The Complete Story Of Quentin Tarantino’s Masterpiece, about the film’s genesis, shooting, and impact on the current movie landscape. Then Tasha asks Keith Phipps, Noel Murray, and Nathan Rabin to perform some movie algebra with a new game called Icon Vs. Icon, whose simple-enough name belies a complicated—but fun—premise. Then Noel and Scott Tobias wrap it up with some rapid recommendations in 30 Seconds To Sell. PLEASE NOTE: The Dissolve Podcast is going on hiatus over the holiday break. It will return in January with new episodes. 

Despite all of us feeling, at one time or another, that Blockbuster Video was the “Death Star” of video chains, as Nathan Rabin described it, we’re left feeling oddly wistful about the days of clamshell boxes and “Be Kind, Rewind.” But is our nostalgia misplaced? In this week’s podcast, we kick off with a reminiscence of the VHS era and the way it influenced our film education. Then, contributor Sam Adams joins Tasha Robinson and Genevieve Koski for a discussion of the Bechdel test, a metric that’s become an increasingly popular way to determine gender bias in film. In order to pass the Bechdel test, a film must feature at least two women who talk to each other about something other than a man. But for such a simple rule, it’s full of gaps and exceptions, and cases where it’s misapplied. Our panelists have different ideas about when it’s useful and when it isn’t. This week, we also introduce a new and filthy game called “Nude Review,” in which contestants are given descriptions from the user reviews at the Celebrity Nude Database and asked which perfectly oval-shaped buttcheeks belong to what movie. Then Tasha and Nathan Rabin duke it out in our quick-fire recommendation face-off, 30 Seconds To Sell.

Opening on IMAX 3-D screens across the country today, Metallica: Through The Never goes bigger than most concert films, attaching a post-apocalyptic narrative to the expected Metallica performance footage. On this week’s podcast, we use this opportunity to talk about the evolution of the concert film, unconventional approaches to the genre, and some of our oddball favorites. Then Matt Zoller Seitz, esteemed TV critic for New York magazine and editor-in-chief of RogerEbert.com,  joins us via Skype to talk about his new book, The Wes Anderson Collection, a gorgeous hardcover full of essays, interviews, photos, and graphics related to Anderson’s seven features. And our game this week is “Double Vision,” wherein the host gives clues from two movies with a lot in common and asks the panelists to guess which one matches the description. And when those two movies are Dante’s Peak and Volcano, the competition is every bit as explosive as you’d expect. (No adorably scruffy dogs or young Joseph Gordon-Levitts were harmed by lava in the recording of this game.) Finally, Tasha Robinson and Noel Murray touch gloves in the recommendation cage match that is 30 Seconds To Sell.

Inspired by the throwback teen romance of The Spectacular Now and the Summer of ’93 period comedy The To Do List, we begin the inaugural episode of our biweekly podcast with a discussion on how nostalgia enhances (or maybe distorts) our perceptions of a movie. In the second segment, Tasha Robinson’s two-star review of the majestic Patrick Swayze vehicle Road House has us wondering about the “guilty pleasure,” and whether movies we enjoy can also be called bad movies. We also play a game called “Double Vision,” where participants are given two very similar movies—in this case, Pretty In Pink and Some Kind Of Wonderful—and asked to tell which detail came from which movie. And finally, Tasha and Nathan Rabin have “30 Seconds To Sell” their movie recommendations.
