The Scene of the Scene episodes:

October 26, 2018 16. Connected.
We went and saw a live recording of
Connected, a podcast about Apple
products. Then we headed to a nearby bar to record our thoughts about the show
(and about podcasts, live podcasts, and Apple products).
After recording, Chris (who has been a fan
of Connected for a while) and Joy (who is new
to the show) had a few drinks and discussed
Pippin (among many other
things). We probably should have kept the tape running.
[N.B. Query vs.
Queery. Oh, and the Twentieth
Anniversary
Macintosh.]

October 22, 2018 15. Hadrian.
Opera season at the Canadian Opera Company continues
with their production of Rufus Wainwright’s
Hadrian. It’s the tale
of Roman emperor Hadrian, whose lover Antinous drowned when he was still young
and beautiful. Hadrian spent the rest of his life mourning the loss.
Michael and
Andy saw it and recorded their
thoughts right afterwards.

October 01, 2018 14. Eugene Onegin.
We saw the Canadian Opera Company’s production of
Tchaikovsky’s Eugene
Onegin. It’s the
tale of a man who insults a woman, kills his friends, and spends a few years
moping about how rough he’s had it. A tale of toxic masculinity as old as
time, but somehow still relevant today.
Chris and
Michael saw it, and immediately went to
Nathan Philip Square to talk about it.

August 24, 2018 13. Three Identical Strangers.
We saw Three Identical
Strangers (Tim Wardle, 2018),
a new documentary about three triplets who were separated at birth, only to
accidentally find each other as young men. The film begins with their happy
moment of rediscovery—but soon unfolds several darker twists to their tale.
Adam, Beth, and
Chris sat on a park bench after seeing the
movie to discuss how the movie handled its compelling story.

August 22, 2018 12. The Adventure of Faustus Bidgood.
We caught a screening of The Adventure of Faustus
Bidgood (Andy and Michael Jones,
1986), a cult classic comedy which was also the first feature film made
entirely in Newfoundland by Newfoundlanders.
Adam and
Michael, who had seen it before, took
Chris to see it for the first time. Was it
too Newfoundlandic for him? Would it play as well for audiences who weren't at
least Newfoundland-adjacent? We discussed all this and more immediately after
the screening.
[We won’t link to it, but you can find the film on YouTube. Adam’s article on
the movie from the Newfoundland Quarterly is, sadly, not
available online. Also check out these
two
tributes to the late Michael Jones.]

July 04, 2018 11. Godzilla.
We watched the original
Godzilla (Ishiro
Honda, 1954). A giant monster is attacking Tokyo: Why? And how can its
destruction be stopped? What sacrifices will required to put an end to this
destruction?
Over at It’s Just A Show, your deep-dive podcast
about Mystery Science Theater 3000, we talk about a
lot
of goofy
giant
monster
movies. But when
Adam realized that
Beth and Chris
hadn't seen the original Godzilla movie before, he arranged a viewing. Do they
fall in love with this tragic anti-hero?

June 21, 2018 10. Becoming Who I Was.
We saw Becoming Who I Was (Moon
Chang-Yong, 2017), a documentary about a young boy in northern India who is a
Rinpoche—the reincarnation of a
Tibetan monk. Unable to contact his flock in Tibet—and rejected from his local
monastery because of this—he travels with his mentor to figure out what he
needs to do next.
Chris Piuma and Lochin
Brouillard grabbed some drinks
afterwards and talked about their first thoughts on the movie.

May 27, 2018 9. Anna Bolena.
We saw Anna Bolena, an opera
by Donizetti about Anne Boleyn, put on by the Canadian Opera
Company. Sondra
Radvanovksy performed the title
role, as the soon-to-be-beheaded second wife of Henry VIII.
Chris Piuma and Michael
Collins recorded their thoughts immediately
afterwards. (It made Chris think of a new book he had just read about the
feminist history of divorce and breaking up.)

May 08, 2018 8. Matangi/Maya/M.I.A.
We saw Matangi/Maya/M.I.A.
(Stephen Loveridge, 2018), a documentary about
musician/activist/director/provocateur M.I.A., a Tamil refugee who became an
unlikely pop star. The movie traces her early life, her rise to fame, her
attempts to use that fame to address the civil war and genocide in Sri Lanka,
and the controversies that have surrounded her career.
Michael Collins and Suzanne Akbari chatted
afterwards to think through the movie.

May 02, 2018 7. The Nightingale and Other Short Fables.
We saw The Nightingale and Other Short
Fables, a collection of short
operatic and concert pieces by Igor Stravinsky put on by the Canadian Opera
Company. If you’re thinking of seeing this and don’t want spoilers about the
production (and that’s a reasonable way to want to see this), then don’t
listen yet.
Chris Piuma and Michael
Collins chatted in the car right after the
performance, which it turns out they enjoyed rather a lot.
