Doctor Strange, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Pronounce ’Synechdoche’

from Marvelous! Or, the Death of Cinema · host Nicole Veneto and Tyrell James

The non-event Marvel film formula is perfected with Dr. Strange, a movie so perfectly smooth and spherical it's already become a fixture of neoclassical economics textbooks. All the pieces are here and they're all shiny and grey like a kitchen appliance. Join Nicole and Stu as they try and fail to talk about this movie and talk about everything around this movie, because there's nothing to talk about. There is an idea of a Dr. Strange, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real movie, only an entity, something illusory. You can get everything Dr. Strange has to offer, better, in under five minutes, by watching this Michel Gondry directed Chemical Brothers music video from 1999.   Rate, review, subscribe to our Patreon and join our Discord Community! Special extra thanks to producer Miguel, who had to slog extra hard through technical issues for this one!   Production by Miguel Tanhi. Art by Zoe Woolley. Follow us at @MarvelousDeath for updates! Thank you for listening and supporting the show!
