50: Strewn with Time's Dead Flowers
from The End of the World with Michael and Stu · host The End of the World with Michael and Stu
This week we're discussing Robert Eggers' 2024 adaptation of FW Murnau's classic Nosferatu. Is it a poignant and disturbing meditation on the idea of forbidden love, recasting a classic story for our troubled times, or is it merely an empty reboot of well-loved IP for our empty and soulless era? The hosts are somewhat divided on the answer to this all-important question! We also consider the original film, as well as Werner Herzog's 1979 adaptation starring Klaus Kinski and Bruno Ganz. We open the episode discussing the recent terror attack in New Orleans as well as the detonation of a cyber truck in front of Trump's Las Vegas Hotel and what these events augur for our conspiracy obsessed moment. This episode contains spoilers for all versions of Nosferatu as well as Bram Stoker's novel, Dracula.Send us Fan Mailhttps://www.instagram.com/theendoftheworldwms/https://youtube.com/@TheEndoftheWorldwMS?si=xmj-2e0s58JdN8-Bhttps://linktr.ee/endoftheworldwithmichaelandstu
