21 - Being Charlie Kaufman

It's a podcast within a podcast within a podcast this week as Wikishuffle's own Phil Sharman takes the Pick a Flick! hosting chair, joined by two debutantes to the show - firstly his old friend Ruth Bradley and, of Filmback TV, the show's first transatlantic guest Claire Tanner.Their first picked flick, from Matthew Brady, is SYNEDOCHE, NEW YORK, from the unique mind that is Charlie Kaufman, and all three have some fascinating opinions on a fascinating picture.Beyond this, they discuss the other works of Kaufman, as a writer and director, and precisely how many times in a year you should watch ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND.Finally, as picked by Steve Aldersley, the trio look at Christopher Nolan's first breakout success, 2000's MEMENTO - but is it a trippy, revolutionary cinematic experience or lacking something? The lines are drawn.Lastly, it's QUESTION TIME for Claire as she chooses 1998 rom-com You've Got Mail for her quiz - but it turns out one of the other podcasters this week is also an uber fan. Who will emerge victorious?Join us down the Kaufman-sized rabbit hole and find out!TWITTER: https://twitter.com/pickaflickpodFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/p1ckaflick/?ref=hliTUNES: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/pick-a-flick!/id1054428004?mt=2 Hosted on Acast.
