Pleasantville (1998)

from Film Junk Podcast Hosted by Film Junk

Where's my dinner? This week on the Film Junk Podcast we step inside the world of a 1950s black and white sitcom with the 1998 high concept dramedy Pleasantville. The movie was fairly well-received at the time but let's find out how it holds up almost 30 years later. Is the social commentary on point or does it miss the mark? Do the digital desaturation effects still dazzle? Is this movie better or worse than The Truman Show? What was Don Knotts' mysterious TV repairman trying to accomplish anyway? It's time to separate out the things that are pleasant from the things that are unpleasant... tune in to this week's episode of Film Junk now.
