Cast-A-Role: A Movie Podcast

Episode 45 - Birdman Review, Batman on Broadway


Listen Later

Proof that the only thing scarier than superhero movies is Broadway.

It’s that time again. We’re back with another edition of Cast-A-Role, and this time round we’re taking a look at Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Oscar-winning, one-shot fever dream, Birdman, starring Micheal Keaton, Edward Nortan and Emma Stone.

In this episode we discuss:

  • the outstanding cast, and equally outstanding performance.
  • the stunning cinematography.
  • we break down the character of Riggan Thomson and the effect his career has had on his mind.
  • From Keaton poking fun at his own superhero past to Edward Norton basically playing… Edward Norton, we review and analyze why Birdman: Or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) is still one of the most talked-about films of the decade. Expect laughs, insights, and maybe a little existential dread along the way.

    • Jurassic World: Rebirth
    • The Fantastic Four
