The Best Movie of 2021 So Far, and a Chuck Klosterman Theory of Film

Om avsnittet

Sean and Amanda welcome author Chuck Klosterman to dive deep into two fascinating topics. The first is Adam Curtis' sprawling six-part documentary series 'Can't Get You Out of My Head,' which explores the absurdity of modern life and the intersections of power, drugs, culture, and the future of civilization (0:30). Fun times. Then, Chuck poses a radical theory of movie watching, which leads to a conversation about the multiverse and the value of biopics (46:30).

Hosts: Sean Fennessey and Amanda Dobbins

Guest: Chuck Klosterman
