You make fun, but 15 episodes of slow improv is better than one bad actual improv set.

Adam and Abe talk about how Sam Raimi’s Spiderman creates a visual system where the audience subtly learns who we’re looking at: Spiderman or Peter Parker. We go through his camera techniques and look into how the invisible hand of directing works.

509. Directorpiece Theatre: How Raimi Shoots Spiderman vs. Peter Parker

Our three co-hosts are stuck in the multiverse and need to get back to their home universe. Clearly, the only way to do that is to explore our cultural obsession with multiverses, alternate timelines and parallel worlds, and tie it all into a conversation about post-modern art, pop culture, and the lessons these stories teach us. Also, each episode, one of them is an asshole who will probably sabotage the whole thing.

This week, we discuss 1996’s Space Jam!

517. Ander’s Sons: There Will Be Blood

We covered The Greasy Strangler, an anti-comedy film that pushes the reality of what we’d call “a movie.” Griffin Rowell joins us for a conversation about the absolute madness of the story and the gross visual aesthetic it deploys. Mostly, we talk about how the movie broke Abe.
