Today's conversation centers on one of the most popular topics in modern pop culture: superheroes. With the recent release of the trailer for Marvel's Fantastic Four, Dylan and Victor share their thoughts on the new trailer along with the trailer for James Gunn's upcoming Superman film. In keeping with the theme of the third episode of Below the Line, the co-hosts conclude their discussion by talking about M. Night Shyamalan's "Eastrail 177" Trilogy. The trilogy is comprised of Unbreakable, Split, and Glass. Despite being "superhero" movies, these three movies exist outside of the modern superhero lexicon. Dylan and Victor tackle questions such as where this trilogy fits into a media landscape that is flooded with comic book movies and TV shows. We hope you enjoy the conversation.

The second episode of Below the Line Podcast is the first installment of what is likely to become a series. Since the beginning of his career Christopher Nolan has become a prolific and highly regarded filmmaker in Hollywood. He may very well be the only director that is able to draw audiences to his films based on his name alone, putting him in a unique position. The second episode of Below the Line involves Dylan and Victor discussing the career and work of Christopher Nolan. They examine different aspects of Nolan's work such as his consistency and ability to blend blockbuster filmmaking with intellectual themes. We hope you find this conversation interesting.

In the debut episode of Below the Line, Dylan converses with co-host, Victor, about a variety of topics. The pilot episode's agenda includes the current state of Hollywood, the difficulty of going to the movies post-pandemic, streaming services, preserving the theatrical experience, and the value of B-movies.

We are still sorting through some technical issues, so this episode is far from studio polished, aside from the killer intro music courtesy of our extremely talented friend, Levi. The sound quality may not be perfect, but rather than continuing to delay the show until everything was "just right," we decided to just dive in head first. Start slow and organically, and, hopefully it will grow as we find our voices. We are far from professional broadcasters, but we hope that through this effort we can bring some insights and interesting perspectives to your minds that will both enlighten, provoke, and entertain.

Most importantly, our desire is to create a platform to help lead the way in facilitating thoughtful and nuanced conversations about film, television, and entertainment. We hope you enjoy this first episode. Please, let us know what you think, what you would be interested in hearing our hosts talk about in future episodes, and anything else on your mind. Thank you.
