EPISODE 194: Elegant, epic, existential, and electric. Volume 2 goes to 11 (ft. Megan Kearns)
Episode Description:
Films Ranked:
Beauty and the Beast (1946) – Cocteau’s poetic dreamscape of love and transformation.
A Night to Remember (1958) – The definitive Titanic film, long before Leo and Kate.
Walkabout (1971) – A haunting vision of isolation, survival, and cultural collision.
The Seventh Seal (1957) – Bergman’s meditation on mortality, meaning, and the black plague.
This Is Spinal Tap (1984) – The rockumentary that turned it up to eleven... and never came back down.
Jason and Megan wrestle with the big questions: Could anyone make the Seventh Seal today? Does Spinal Tap still hit as hard in the age of memes? Is A Night to Remember secretly the most profound film of the bunch? And where does Walkabout fit into the pantheon of coming-of-age stories?
ALSO:
Cocteau’s magic mirrors and movie sorcery
The layers beneath the surface of A Night to Remember
Existential laughs in chain mail
Why the line between satire and reality might be thinner than we think
