158. Frame Rate: Thelma & Louise (Feat. Maggie Mae Fish)
🕑 Added 2019-01-16 19:20:45 +0000 UTCHey, you remember that one Simpsons episode where Ruth Powers and Marge flee from Homer and Chief Wiggum across the desert? Wiggum tries to cook engine-block eggs? Well, hey, let's talk about the incredible Ridley Scott movie of which that was a parody! Maggie Mae joins to help us dive into a pretty kickass flick.

Id say you're off base with Harvey's character. I feel, in a valiant attempt to be politically correct, you're blinding yourselves to alternative motivations for certain narrative choices. You might at least entertain the idea that his character is, in a way, showing the audience that the film is a little deeper than men vs women. It doesn't always have to be a "not all men" excuse. Without Keitels character it would seem too black and Mr. White. You very well could be right though...Love you all as always!
This episode really made me wonder if you’ve seen Y Tu Mama Tambien and what you would think about it if you had, since it directly addresses some of the thoughts and questions raised here. (How to make a movie that’s mainly dialogue scenes in a car visually compelling, sex scenes being interesting to watch and essential to character/storytelling, and other stuff that I can’t get into for spoiler reasons.)
