| The Conversation Show: ’Skinamarink’; a double feature of ’Lost in Translation,’ and ’Her’; a bit on De La Soul | 25 Feb 2023 | 01:40:41 | |
It's a packed episode, Screamers. We look at both 'Lost in Translation' and 'Her' as a kind of double feature. And we interrogate the false construct of cross-influence between their creators. We get lost in the murk and digital noise of lo-fi horror hit (?) 'Skinamarink.' There's also a melancholy-tinged, but impassioned, discussion of De La Soul, the influential hip hop group, after the passing of Trugoy the Dove. Stick around for some movie recommendations.
