Description
We're wrapping up our Summer "Camp" series with a loving look at two science fiction/space opera movies that are really historical romances in space! Topics of discussion include Eddie Redmayne's love of character voices (and also how he auditioned for the role of Kylo Ren!); the fact that Star Wars has always been a little bit stupid, which is part of its charm; and how the lavish costumes in both movies really accentuate the fact that they are both historical romances in space, because if there's one thing about a historical romance, it's gonna have gowns. Further Reading: Eddie Redmayne on his weird voice in Jupiter Ascending and his audition for Kylo Ren Reviews and discussions of Jupiter Ascending from Vogue, RogerEbert.com, and Decider Reviews and discussions of Attack of the Clones from the LA Times (2002 review), StarWars.com (behind the scenes look at costumes), and Tor.com (discussing the romance) Follow us on Instagram for more content, including a costume comparison and sci-fi romance book recs! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pop-dna-podcast/message
