Movies and Chaos

Movies and Chaos

Mark Palermo, Serena Whitney

This is a podcast looking at the impact and legacy of cult films. It’s hosted by Mark Palermo (former critic, screenwriter of Detention) and Serena Whitney (former critic, programmer of The Revue Cinema in Toronto). The movies discussed tie into screenings happening at The Revue and Thrillema, a cult series Palermo helps run in Halifax. Why do these movies endure? Is some stuff too much for modern audiences? Theme music: "Hypernormalization" by Rich Aucoin, Artwork: Ryan Wilson

With the box office juggernaut A MINECRAFT MOVIE and a new season of THE LAST OF US, we look at the world of movies based on video games - how that genre has tried to keep up as games have evolved as a premiere mass entertainment. Also, China may stop showing US films, TikTok challenges vs. cinema cleanup crews, and just stop looking at your damn phone.
