Ian and Sujewa welcome RogerEbert.com's Editor at Large, Matt Zoller Seitz, for a look at two dystopian-future epics: Jean-Luc Godard's Alphaville and Matt's very own, in-progress puppet film, Space Rabbit (produced by Sujewa)!In Godard's 1965 neo-noir masterpiece, a government agent's search for a missing scientist leads him to a planet ruled by order and governed by an omniscient supercomputer. Seitz's movie centers on a hard-boiled lion detective's plot to liberate a world run by a fascist squirrel.In this far-reaching and...ahem...animated conversation, the guys talk about the origins of both films; the influences that inspired each; and the ways in which Alphaville's sensibilities and style have echoed through generations of film and pop culture. There's also a fun detour into the movies of Terrence Malick, and Matt's ambitious plans for finishing and releasing Space Rabbit!Time Stamps:Intro: 0:00 - 0:40Space Rabbit Discussion: 0:40 - 25:18Alphaville Discussion: 25:18 - 45:57Sojourn in Malick Land: 45:57 - 55:42Return to Alphaville: 55:42 - 1:15:21Outro: 1:15:21 - 1:17:24Show Links:Watch the Alphaville Trailer: https://bit.ly/3pvz62KWatch a 7-minute interrogation scene from Space Rabbit: https://vimeo.com/206130317Check out the original Space Rabbit video pitch for Indiegogo: https://vimeo.com/206127149Read Matt's criticism and pop culture commentary at RogerEbert.com, Vulture, and Matt’s online bookstore.Watch the teaser trailer for Sujewa’s upcoming film, The Secret Society for Slow Romance.Keep up with all of Sujewa's projects.
