With Twisters rapidly approaching, Mick and Ben take a look at Twister, the Jan de Bont classic from 1996.
Join us as we unravel the whirlwind adventure of the 1996 blockbuster hit, "Twister," in a way you've never heard before.
Discover how "Twister" defies the typical disaster movie blueprint by presenting Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton's characters as equals in intellect and bravery, setting a new standard for on-screen partnerships. We dissect the film's revolutionary approach to its female protagonist, celebrating her as the driving force behind the narrative, a rare feat in the genre's landscape.
Uncover the layers of authenticity that make "Twister" a timeless classic, from its realistic depiction of storm chasers to the emotional depth embedded in the storyline. Our hosts, along with special guests from the fields of meteorology, film criticism, and gender studies, delve into how these elements blend to create a narrative that's as emotionally gripping as it is thrilling.
Expect an electrifying discussion on the film's contribution to changing stereotypes, its impact on the portrayal of scientists in cinema, and how its legacy continues to resonate in the hearts of movie lovers and storm enthusiasts alike. Whether you're a long-time fan or a curious newcomer, "Twisting the Narrative" offers fresh insights and fascinating tidbits about the film that brought the power of the twister to the big screen.
If that wasn't enough, we react to the trailers of the week; H. Jon Benjamin gives Bill Skarsgaard's young assassin an insane inner monologue. Cate Blanchett has been forced to Participate in Borderlands for some reason, and we'd love to know what dirt Eli Roth has on her. Alex Garland is back doing his best William Golding impression in Civil War from A24 and much much more.
