MOVIE DISCUSSION:

We\\u2019ve been covering an obscene amount of Disney productions lately what-with the Marvel films and two Disney Plus exclusives \\u2013 Hamilton\\xa0and Stargirl\\xa0respectively \\u2013 so I think it\\u2019s safe to say we\\u2019re ready to move away from Disney for a while. Or, as long as we can, because Disney clearly has a hold on the market. We\\u2019ll inevitably get back to it, but we want to head into more independent and creative atmospheres, and that\\u2019s where A Ghost Story comes in.

In this episode of the podcast, you\\u2019ll get a chance to hear how Daniel and I initially reacted to the trailer for A Ghost Story back in 2017 (you know, seeing an atmospheric, visually stunning film with a man wearing a sheet-ghost costume). After that, you\\u2019ll hear about Daniel\\u2019s excellent theater experience with a random stranger. Then I dig into how a scene emotionally destroyed me, and how A Ghost Story uses simple yet prolonged sequences to produce strong emotions. Among those emotions, we discuss how, for a lot of people, laughter seemed to be a predominant reaction to a lot of scenes that take place in A Ghost Story. And finally, Daniel and I dig into the concept of interpretation, and how certain art-pieces are created to provoke emotions or feelings, and less concerned with giving definitive answers.

A Ghost Story is Rated R for brief language and a disturbing image. It features Casey Affleck and Rooney Mara. Directed by David Lowery. A Ghost Story is currently available on Netflix.\\xa0
