Ep. 54: Analyzing No Country For Old Men
Do you think it's getting harder to do good deeds in our modern society? Is the world getting worse, or has it always been this bad? In this second part to our previous episode, we continue our discussion on the Crime genre with an analysis of the Coen Brothers' thought-provoking film No Country For Old Men. We wrestle with this challenging commentary about the nature of arbitrary violence in our chaotic world.
Ep. 53: Analyzing The Godfather
How far would you go to protect your family? What happens when life gives a man an offer he can't refuse? Would he sell his on soul to attain it? Derrick is joined by Nick, Joseph, Jason, and professional screenwriter Kyle Arrington, to analyze one of cinema's finest achievements: The Godfather. We explore this family drama set within the Crime genre, and what it has to say about the nature of the American Way, and humanity itself.
Ep. 39: Analyzing ‘The Truman Show’
Derrick and Joseph team up to do our first in-depth film analysis of the 1998 masterpiece The Truman Show. Think you know this film well? We break down everything from the filmmaking, to the symbolism, to character motivations, and even biblical allusions, all in an attempt to see how this film speaks to us today as an eerie prophecy that's come to fruition.
