Here's Looking at Yul, Kid

The Testament of Orpheus


Listen Later

For the first time in years the boys are back on schedule with the second official episode of Season 3, THE TESTAMENT OF ORPHEUS! They discuss the film, Hadestown, try to figure out if they're watching a documentary, an autobiographical fiction film about the making of film and theatre, or a fantasy adventure through time and space. They marvel at the special effects of a film from 66 years ago. They wonder if they'll even notice when Yul shows up because he is NOT CREDITED for his appearance in this film! And, of course, they check in with the jolly Yul kid Dave, their most faithful fan and caller, who has left a record-breaking number of messages for them to review, leading to a sort of journey to the Underworld of their own past as they try to remember what they talked about in the early days of the podcast.


In Here's Looking at Yul, Kid, two friends (and sometimes Ron Howard or a stranger from the internet) who had NEVER seen a movie starring Yul Brynner watch (but ONLY watch) his entire filmography. They will not be LISTENING to Yul. They will not be READING subtitles conveying what Yul has said. They will ONLY be LOOKING at Yul (kid). And they will record an entire commentary track for each film as they do so.
