MEGALOPOLIS (2024, Dir: Francis For Coppola) with CORY ATAD
Listen now
Description
Cory Atad (The Baffler) Joins Dr. Movies and The Corb to talk about "MEGALOPOLIS," a movie about Francis Ford Coppola getting extremely baked and creating a drastically less efficent method of public transit.  Corbin writing this right now just wants to say: my opinion on this movie has curdled into something meaner and less forgiving after recording this episode. I have come to think of it as a monument to one man's narcissim, a canker sore on the art of cinema, a pile of garbage for precisely no one. I will concede that it is not boring, though, and John Voight does say "Gargatua is here!" Also, this week, Musk announced the Robotaxi thing. The cars have two seats in them, just like the crummy cars in this movie.  Corbin reccomends Diamond Jubilee, an album by Cindy Lee you can acquire here. Matt reccomends the new Blood Incantation record. Cory reccomends High Potential, a new TV show.  Next week's episode is about "The Breaking Ice," which you can see here. Matt said this: "Can you note the song at the end? It's Cult of Luna on a Metropolis themed record called "Vertikal."
