LD144 and 1017 - The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1989) and The Fabulous Baron Munchausen (1962)
b'
As it turns out, the coexistence of two movies dedicated to the exploits of the fictionalized eighteenth-century German adventurer Baron Munchausen far from exclude one another from narrative authority. So for Mike\\u2019s birthday episode, why not just just do a double episode treating them like parts of an anthology that took a couple of centuries to make? We do just that with Karel Zeman\\u2019s 1962 The Fabulous Baron Munchausen and Terry Gilliam\\u2019s The Adventures of Baron Munchausen of 1989. It\\u2019s Zeman\\u2019s brilliantly stylized suturing of live action and handmade animation vs. Gilliam\\u2019s inventive production design set against some over-the-top character work by an international cast of all-stars.
If you\\u2019d like to watch ahead for next week\\u2019s film l, we will be discussing and reviewing Nathaniel Hornblower et al\\u2019sThe Beastie Boys Video Anthology (2000).
