339 - Forrest Gump
Listen now
Description
Sell-Out September has been fun, but it must be put out of its misery with today's episode. We talked about Robert Zemeckis’ reimagining of Birth of a Nation as a post-war jukebox musical for the boomer generation. If Griffith’s foundational, hateful text was “history written in lightning”, Gump is history written with chocolate. We also talked about The Substance, Yoshiwara, and John Williams’ Stoner on Malcolm in the Middle. 00:00 - Forrest Gump 49:20 - Malcolm in the Middle
