  • Popcorn Eschaton 21 - 'The Matrix' And 'eXistenZ'
    Scott and John journey to virtual reality (and 1999) on this Popcorn Eschaton! They discuss the groundbreaking, mind-blowing film by Lana and Lilly Wachowski, 'The Matrix,' as well as just some of the Christ and philosophical allegories contained therein. Then they dig into David Cronenberg's foray into video game design and examination of how an artist might interact directly with their work, 'eXistenZ.'

  • Popcorn Eschaton 20 - 'Andrei Rublev'
    Popcorn Eschaton takes its first (of many?!) forays into the work of Andrei Tarkovsky as they discuss the gorgeous, meditative, and incindiay examination of The Artist in society, 1966's Andrei Rublev. Censorship, faith, and the reason for creativity itself are all brilliantly and thoughtfully examined in Tarkovsky's film, and Scott and John are thrilled to talk about them!

  • Popcorn Eschaton 19 - 'Modern Times' And 'They Live' With Prof. Stephen McFarland
    Professor Stephen McFarland joins Scott and John to discuss Charlie Chaplin's 'Modern Times,' John Carpenter's 'They Live,' and the representation of the working poor on film. What does the staying power of Chaplin's "The Tramp" say about how we view the oppressed? What does the vision of society in 'They Live' tell us about how the media itself views those same oppressed people? All this, and all the shirtless Roddy Piper talk you can handle on Popcorn Eschaton!

  • Popcorn Eschaton 18 - 'Crime Wave' And 'Investigation Of A Citizen Above Suspicion'
    Scott and John explore the power of cops on film, both politically and artistically, and criminal justice reform. They focus on the 1953 André De Toth thriller of cops and ex-cons 'Crime Wave,' as well as the 1970 political satire/thriller 'Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion.' They discuss the power the criminal justice system (and individual cops) has on society, as well as the inherent draw of law enforcement stories in cinema.

  • Popcorn Eschaton 16 - Barbenheimer
    Scott and John embrace the zeitgeist and explore Barbenheimer! They discuss both the films 'Oppenheimer' and 'Barbie,' as well as their accompanying cultural phenomenon. What does it mean when the use of nuclear weapons becomes a meme? And is our best hope for satirizing capitalism a hilarious musical about a doll?

  • Popcorn Eschaton 13 - Silence And Black Narcissus
    On this Popcorn Eschaton, Scott and John explore missionary work, as well as psychological and spiritual disintegration. First, they discuss the 2016 Martin Scorsese epic 'Silence,' its historical basis, and the conflict between our outer selves and our inner spiritual life. Then they focus on the 1947 Powell and Pressburger classic 'Black Narcissus,' the consequences of suppressing one's inner desires, and the film's unparalleled visual splendor.
