252: Stories We Tell About The Raven Are From 2012

2012 feels like a completely different time for movies. The Avengers were just getting together, The Dark Knight Rises actually tried to end a superhero's story and people were still hungry for some Hunger Games. Now over a decade later, Double Edged Double Bill is taking a look at two of 2012's other cinematic offerings. First, John Cusack dawns a not-quite Baltimore accent to portray Edgar Allan Poe on the hunt for a murderous fanboy in The Raven! Then, Sarah Polley hopes to find out her origins and true familial connections in Stories We Tell! Together, our duo answers the crucial questions. What type of vegetable shaped head is needed to play a famous American poet? How does perspective shape the legacy of a person? Which two films will they cover on next week's episode all about the films Roger Ebert loved and hated most? Well, pause your old home movies and take thy beak from out that heart so you can listen to find out!   Subscribe to our Patreon for $1 a month to get bonus podcasts & polls to choose episode topics and films we cover! Follow the show on social media (Instagram, Twitter & Facebook) via @dedbpod! Send feedback to [email protected]!
