Episode 52: No Such Thing
Manage episode 393574701 series 2813904
This week on Remainders, we watched the 2001 Icelandic fantasy-drama No Such Thing. Directed by Hal Hartley, with a stealthily great cast and aspirations to surreal stories like Beauty and the Beast and Beowulf, No Such Thing tries to have its cake and eat it too. A throwback pick to the era of endless DVDs, revisiting this drama leads to some surreal and honest opinions on the movies and how they age.
Other topics include TLB in Chicago, Godzilla Minus One, Ti West and Mia Goth’s X-trilogy, favorite movie experiences of 2023, Star Wars commentaries and Tony Gilroy, physical media corner, and how black metal can save a movie.
