Upstairs, All Of You!
It’s official! We’ve now produced and published 10 episodes, plus 1 bonus episode. They said it couldn’t be done. They said we’d lose interest, they said we give up, They said, “What are you thinking? Nobody watches classic movies anymore.” (Actually, they might still say that. Haters gonna hate) However, let the record show, we have crossed the threshold between passing phase to legitimate hobby.
To celebrate our achievement, we had our friend Julianne Martin make a special appearance on the show. Listeners will remember Julianne from her takedown of Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans. Find out how well Fellini fares when the Flixwisers take on Sight and Sound’s 10th Greatest Movie of All Time: 8 1/2.
Early adopters of the Flixwise Podcast will recall that on the very first episode, Lady P mentions that 8 1/2 is one of her favorite movies. However, she also mentions that 8 1/2 doesn’t have the same emotional resonance than it had when she was younger. This got her to thinking about how and why our tastes change as we get older. So for the second topic, the panelists offer up a few examples of pieces of pop culture they once loved, but are no longer as infatuated with. Conversely, they talk about pieces of culture that they once rejected out of youthful ignorance, but have since come around to liking.
They then close the show with a final note of positivity
