The Last Movie Podcast

Hello and welcome - I’ve made Nicole Kidman look particularly janky above to irk my brother.

We are gathered here today audioly to discuss longwindedly two things.

1. We make a correction about how John doesn’t truck with screen brunettes but he never actually says he DOES and he does insist on maligning Sandy B throughout this movie.

2. Practical Magics 1 + 2

We talk about brunette and blonde screen tropes, William Blake's beautiful death, queer subtexts in the 90s vs today, recognizing red flags in relationships, and the re-enchantment of the world.

Digressions include the organizational capacity of the foot fetish community, a tumble into “the kids today don’t want to work” ideology, the approachable mom trope, 90s witchcraft and feminism, plastic surgery, and whether incest is having an unfortunate cultural zeitgeist.

The first movie was kind of bad but relevant, and the second movie was good but its relevance remains to be seen/may not break the surface of our overarching culture.

We will issue our various corrections shortly, while also perhaps touching on Rosemary’s Baby.

This movie is good (ish) and relevant (arguably) and we are neither of those things.

Topics include: Nolan's relationship to women, humour, and montages, Negronis vs. Colt 45s, and Rat Men vs. Little Frog Mouth Boys.

Please note: Charles calls John Holland John Hiddleston all the time, and John calls Telemachus Thrasymachus over and over as well. We are but flawed meat creatures formed by the justly loathing hands of Circe and will continue to make such mistakes.
