Meredith Nudo is back along with another rotating co-host Alex Beige. We are going to discuss Cory Finley’s directorial feature debut Thoroughbreds (2017) and how it is compatible with the overall style of, as Meredith argues, Satoshi Kon’s psychological thriller classic Perfect Blue (1997). We’re also discussing the challenges of adapting plays into feature films (with Alex Beige, the actual playwright, giving their two cents onto this subject), the filmography of Brian De Palma, the use of ambiguities in movies, and Jay’s own ideas of animated adaptation of theatrical plays. And we still miss the late Anton Yelchin.
And also, check out the play Let. Her. Rip..
Movies that we will be (mostly) discussing:
- Thoroughbreds (2017), directed by Cory Finley
- Perfect Blue (パーフェクトブルー) (1997), directed by Satoshi Kon
- Nothing (2003), directed by Vincenzo Natali
- Carrie (1976), directed by Brian De Palma
- Goodnight Mommy (Ich Seh Ich Seh) (2014), directed by Veronika Franz & Severin Fiala
