112: Creating an Art Monster

Movie Meltdown - Episode 112 This new session of The Caffeinated Movie Geek also features a return to our documentary series...The Really Real World. This week we discuss in-depth the Oscar-nominated film, Exit Through The Gift Shop. And along the way, we question the very nature of art, film, hype, money and reality itself. Pretty deep thoughts for a few geeks drinking coffee. Plus while trying to figure out who Banksy is we discuss…size and placement, the sane way to celebrate the new year, empirical, going dumb and ugly, The Wal-Mart Movie Project, Orson Welles is so f-ing cool, Scott Pilgrim, The Blair Witch Project, Madonna, go big or go home, why do you turn into Bob Saget?, the cable series, props to Rob Reiner, Michael C. Hall, recasting John Malkovich, logical Latin, you sift the detritus, F for Fake, is it Michael Cera Syndrome or Andy Dick Syndrome?, a male Tina Fey, being permentantly attached to Tura Satana, dysfunctional Mom and Pop stores, most people are dumb, three thumbs up, not getting jazz, Claw on Inspector Gadget, Six Feet Under, The Doogie and Willow Show, Playboy’s Women of Wal-Mart, Lady GaGa, meeting a gigalo, The Trial, that dated 70’s Show, the lowest form of drama, Tim Burton is Aerosmith, placing value on art and Transformers don't procreate! Spoiler Alert: OBEY…Just go watch Exit Through the Gift Shop. “Is it an Andy Kaufman trick that he just played on everyone?”
