Season Fourteen Wrap Show Preview

from Shoot The Hostage · host Shoot The Hostage Podcast

We’ve reached the end of our season on identity in cinema, and frankly, we’re more confused than when we started. But none the less, it’s time for our end of season wrap show preview.  In this “Total Recap”, a name we’re definitely not trying to brand, we swear, we dive into everything from Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins to the horrors of The Substance. We’re dissecting the psychological themes in movies debating nature vs. nurture and asking the hard questions: like why Brian De Palma taped two lenses together for Dressed to Kill and what happens when Lenny Henry kicks off a white face cinematic universe. What to expect from this episode: We recap the entire eight movie lineup, starting with Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins. Discussion around movies that almost made the cut and the risk of making the season 25% Ethan Hawke. The mystery of Lenny Henry’s True Identity is explored as the “proto–White Chicks” The pitfalls of painting your own porn. Sarah tests Dan’s knowledge with a quiz and debate the utility of bats in the Dark Knight trilogy. A look ahead to season 15 which begins May 18th where we’ll be exploring Liminal Spaces, starting with the film Triangle (2009). If you would like to listen to the full episode, head over to Patreon to get access to this and all of our previous wrap shows from seasons 1-13. We shall return! On May 18th we're back with a brand new season. This time chosen by Sarah.
