Found-Footage and True Cinematic Verisimilitude
Edgar Wright’s Transnational Comedy
by Nathan Lunn
This episode, we are grabbing our cameras, pointing them at the sky and reflecting on the cinematic impact that 9/11 had on the contemporary American blockbuster - highlighting Cloverfield as the strongest example of allegorical representation that truly tackles this difficult issue.
This episode, we are diving into Rural Texas, wading into the muck of the slaughterhouse and dissecting the narrative, visual and thematic incoherence present with The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and 1970s American horror on the whole.
This episode, you have found us at a very strange time in our lives, where we are going to be talking about absolutely nothing at all. First rule aside, we can begin to explore the foundations of Marxist Film Theory, then spend the latter half of the podcast discussing how this explicitly relates to Fight Club, all co-hosted by our resident card-carrying communist.
This episode, we explore the highs and lows of the Found-Footage genre, presenting an argument in defence of its importance, and attempt to identify if the difficulty between ideal cinematic presentation and the illusion of reality is inherent to the sub-genre.
This episode we explore Edgar Wright's Cornetto Trilogy, in order to determine how the three films apply their American genre aesthetics against the British setting to craft consistently cool comedy. Toon class is now in session.
This episode, we explore the wild lands and buried history of the English countryside as we chart the development of British Folk Horror, outline what exactly connects the 'Unholy Trinity', and take a venture down a dangerous, haunted countryside lane. Toon class is now in session.
