566 - Insignificance (1985)
b'
One evening in 1954, Marylin Monroe, Joe DiMaggio, and Senator Joseph McCarthy gathered in Albert Einstein\\u2019s New York City hotel room to excitedly monologue at one another about subjects like fame, sex, motherhood, baseball, communism, and the precise shape of the universe. \\xa0Or at least that\\u2019s what happens in Nicolas Roeg\\u2019s 1985\\xa0Insignificance. \\xa0It\\u2019s basically the film adaptation of a stage play adaptation of one of those corny posters that imagines Marylin Monroe, Elvis Presley, Humphrey Bogart, and James Dean hanging out at a Soda Shop and being all, you know, iconic and stuff. \\xa0But it is Roeg, and it is based on a play, it might just be...kind of deep? \\xa0Join us for a listen and find out the film fulfills that implied promise.
If you\\u2019d like to watch ahead for next week\\u2019s film, we will be discussing and reviewing Shohei Imamura\\u2019s\\xa0Vengeance Is Mine (1979).
