from Guelph Politicast · host Adam A. Donaldson
This week on End Credits, we're ambitious! We do love a passion project on this show, and on this episode we're serving up thoughts on two of them, one new and one old. In the 'new' category, we've got the latest movie from the vanguard of the New Hollywood movement, and from the 'old' file, we've got the greatest hit from the head of the 90s indie movement. Get ready for Megalopolis and Pulp Fiction! This Wednesday, October 2, at 3 pm, Adam A. Donaldson and Tim Phillips will discuss: Pulp Fiction at 30! It was three decades ago this week that Quentin Tarantino's second feature was released to rapturous acclaim, multiple award nominations, and 30 years of influence. Pulp Fiction is frequently cited as one of the best movies of the 90s, if not in the history of cinema, and it certainly cemented the reputation of Quentin Tarantino as the pre-eminent filmmaker of his generation. But after all this time, is Pulp Fiction still the G.O.A.T. we want it to be? REVIEW: Megalopolis (2024). For years, Francis Ford Coppola - the legendary director of The Godfather and Apocalypse Now - has been trying to get this project off the ground, a fable about one man's struggle to overcome corruption and decay to make his utopian dreams a reality. In what's bound to be the most divisive movie of the year, Megalopolis follows the dreamer played by Adam Driver as he manoeuvres the flailing days of New Rome/York to build his dream. This kids is what's called a metaphor, so does Coppola manage to achieve his dream and build a better cinema? End Credits is on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca Wednesday at 3 pm.
