Joanna Newsom in Inherent Vice (with Rob Simpson)
Hey you! Pop Screen welcomes in 2023 with a dose of los paranoias as Graham and Rob tackle Paul Thomas Anderson's Inherent Vice. The only adaptation - and likely to remain that way - of a Thomas Pynchon novel, it has an all-star cast headed up by Joaquin Phoenix's stoner PI Doc Sportello, and features suitably ethereal narration from the world's coolest harpist - again, not much competition - Joanna Newsom.
On this week's Pop Screen, we tune in our doper's ESP to the karmic thermals - or something - of Anderson's unjustly maligned film. We comb the film for Thomas Pynchon's cameo, discuss its critical take on '60s nostalgia, and still find space to be rude about Hans Zimmer. The Vicenaissance starts here!
If you want to help us establish a free housing complex in the desert or whatever it is, you can donate to our Patreon. We're just about to release a spoiler-packed chat about Glass Onion, and we've just launched a new movie miscellany podcast Last Night... Plus, Graham's Doctor Who reviews, Rob's championing of Asian films that lack a UK distributor, and more. Follow us on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook for more info!
