Show Notes
After another long break, the podcasting duo of Sam and Boris is back - and what a treat they have prepared for you all this time! In a slight deviation from the previous episodes of this project, the hosts discuss not only the masterpiece that is the 2006 Guillermo Del Toro directed film Pan's Labyrinth, but also the movement of Magic Realism and how it relates to this film as well as the wider world of literature. Pop culture references, mentions of beloved authors and famous actors - both within the Spanish and English language film industry abound. In the longest episode of (Re)Encounters thus far, let yourself be transported to a sinister, yet beautiful kingdom of magic; if you keep listening to the end, your new favourite podcasting duo will guide you home safely.
