Description
In this episode of the show we are taking our Ritchie-Statham conversations into a whole new dimension as the universe of crime comedies complicated by their plot-related shenanigans make space for faux-philosophical musings about the nature of the self in the 2005 Revolver. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about Guy Ritchie trying to lean into Lynchian filmmaking and coming across as a little bit pretentions, Jason Statham rocking long hair in an act of artistic denial and just how much hiring philosophers to talk over the end credits can do to a movie. We also talk about Ray Liotta lounging in speedos, Ritchie looking past Tarantino and perhaps finding Seijun Suzuki against his better judgment and whether Revolver is an abstract painting or an exercise in waterboarding.
Tune in and enjoy!
