Not just movies but TV as well is up for grabs in an episode that is sure to provoke thought, if not fury. The gang ambles around a bit with the vast, encyclopedic wealth of knowledge in the world these days, but ultimately gets back on track with a discussion of techniques, ideas, and innovations in the history of visual media. Included in this is film, TV, and video games, and the worlds they explore and the genres they do it through. Are Seinfeld and My Name Is Earl two halves of the same coin? What is the beauty of Bioshock, and is Fallout's music uninspired and unrealistic? Should we clone John Lithgow? Is Shrek about the freedom of man before the institution of government? Will our grandkids be cyborgs? Can movies be both meaningful and entertaining?
These are the questions we answer authoritatively and conclusively in the latest episode of the Easier Said podcast.
Host-notes: A goose only has violence in its heart, and man-flesh in its mouth.
Food-for-thought: What are you putting in your soup? Hopefully not rocks, right?
