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.

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.

It’s a Wes month. This time we discuss his 2007 film The Darjeeling Limited which tells the story of three brothers embarking on a spiritual journey through their mutual and personal grief. The boys talk about why it feels different from other Anderson films, how grief and romance are treated in Anderson films, and how the writing reveals a genuine desire to interact with Indian culture but ultimately discloses a form of privilege from the writer/director.
