PARTY PLEASER: 

Systematic Geekology: Spotify / Instagram

Will Rose of Systematic Geekology joins Melvin for a second time to summarize North Shore, a little-seen surfer flick in the vein of Karate Kid! Will shares a ton about the dynamics of surfing culture, and Melvin celebrates the layers of North Shore's coming-of-age story. Plus, they can't get enough of those glorious Hawaiian waves, and neither will you!

Topics:

  • Will Rose catches us up with where he's at and what Systematic Geekology's been up to since our Spawn Party Pleaser episode.
  • There was hype behind North Shore for Will Rose as a kid, and he recounts his experience seeing the film in theaters.
  • The music, visuals, and pacing are all pretty solid, and that's made apparent within the first 15 minutes.
  • Surfing etiquette 101.
  • North Shore features a ton of classic surfing legends, and Will shares all the cool trivia about them.
  • Surfing is dangerous and it demands wave/ocean literacy, and North Shore asserts the importance of understanding this as a "coming of age" drama.
  • The brisk pace of the film allows the film to explore various "coming of age" tropes.
