For this episode we watched: La La Land! Covered topics include: the illusion of nostalgia, the misleading “golden age” of Hollywood, and the narrative structure of stories.
In which Emily and Dora take a critical stab at the glorification of old Hollywood. Emily warns against the lure of nostalgia and questions what we mean by “classic” film, and Dora tries to not go on a rant about story expectations/promises, but fails.
Thanks for listening! As always, we can be found on Twitter! Come say hi!
