MOVIE DISCUSSION: 

Kathryn joins Melvin to discuss Bottle Rocket, Wes Anderson's first feature-length film! The vibes are cozy and the dramedy is light, and the two get into discussions about classism (go figure!), easy-to-watch films, and what it is about Wes Anderson that makes him so mainstream. 

Topics: 

  • (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 23-minutes discussing Darren Aronofsky's AI-Slop studio "Primordial Soup" which specializes in producing "stories" and "art" through AI programs (LLMs and AGIs a la Chat-GPT and Midjourney) and how this endeavor is actually anti-art. (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 
  • Kathryn has stated that Bottle Rocket is her favorite Wes Anderson movie. Is this still true?
  • It's nice to watch a Wes Anderson movie where he isn't overly controlling everything.
  • Talking classism, adulthood, maturity, & empathy.
  • Melvin isn't so sure he likes Wes Anderson's movies as much as everyone else, and he spends some time thinking what it is others see in them.
  • Talking about Dignan, Anthony, and the unique characters therein.
  • The climax of the film feels like a great representation of what Wes Anderson does best.

Recommendations:

  • Brick (2006) (Movie)
  • Amnesia: The Dark Descent (2010) (Video Game)
