Episode 26 - Game Changers

Movies that shaped the future! This week we’re talking game changers (28:00). After over a hundred years of movie making history, we discuss the films that have changed what we expect, see, and hear at the movie theater. Beyond discussing character development and pace of the films we touch on the historical context, social issues, and technological advancements behind our 30 “game changers”. Tune in for some commentary on Jaws (47:20), The Wizard of Oz (39:25), Goldfinger (41:33), Rocky (45:24), King Kong (33:45), Citizen Kane (36:25), Toy Story (51:30), X-Men (53:40) The Bourne Identity (54:20), The Avengers (58:10) and many more. For our Random Roundup this week, Erich poses the question as to why we don’t hear about saving the rainforest anymore? Has attention shifted towards other climate matters? Also, have you seen the Netflix Marvel series Daredevil (10:50)? We follow Matt Murdock as he takes on the Kingpin, and wrestles with a crisis of faith and a craving for redemption. Carefully crafted with excellent character development, and single-shot scenes that command attention, this is a series you should check out!
