Show Notes

On this week's episode we welcome a special guest on the podcast, Mike! For his first episode, he decided to go big with the critically and historically significant Italian film 8½. Federico Fellini's classic surreal dramedy about a director struggling with director's block which mirrors his own experience making the film became an influential piece of filmmaking history and has inspired many of the most important directors over the past 50 years. We discuss who this movie may be for in today's cinematic viewing, break down some of the more surreal scenes, and shed light on the background of the director to provide context for this conceptually difficult movie.

 

Stay tuned for the next episode where we do our first movie draft!
