Show Me The Meaning! – A Wisecrack Movie Podcast episodes

October 17, 2024 Longlegs vs The Substance: A Pop Horror Cage Match
Our first cage match! Austin and Raymond have chosen LONGLEGS (dir. Oz Perkins) and THE SUBSTANCE (dir. Coralie Fargeat) to battle it out. Join the crew as they break down these films, from the different ways each director relies on genre expectation, to the iconography within both films - and, of course, a dash of philosophy sprinkled in to cover the "gaze" in these pieces. Enjoy!

October 10, 2024 Cracking Open I Saw the TV Glow
The Pink Opaque! Raymond and Austin are joined by Mallory Blair to talk Jane Schoenbrun's I SAW THE TV GLOW. Listen along as they peel apart the many layers in this film, from the nuanced trans experience of "cracking open the egg" in the character's self-discovery, to the specificity of Schoenbrun's direction, to the philosophical metaphors we can use to get the most meaning out of this film. Enjoy!

March 04, 2022 The Power of the Dog (directed by Jane Campion) - Anything to Pick on This Bone?
Explore your creativity at http://skillshare.com/SMTM and get a free trial of Skillshare Premium Membership.

This was a tough one. Is there a lot to pick off the bone that is The Power of the Dog? Why do we need a revelation in our films? What we get into in this chat is: why does certain stuff resonate? What makes a film force us to lean in? We don't even get into Capitalism (too much) - but we gotta mention Austin saw this at the Sydney Film Festival. Enjoy!
