Ep. 90 - Bright Eyed And Bushy Tailed - (Boogie Nights)

Wednesday, December 11, 2024 • Duration 01:30:42

Big thanks to Graham King for joining me on episode 90!

In this episode we chat about the great film Boogie Nights (1997) by Paul Thomas Anderson. In this episode we wrangle with notions of:

The essence of Faustian bargain being that you don't even ask for what you really want, and the isolation that comes with not knowing what you want
The importance of apologies
Exploitation
The desire to make something good
The state of film and quality films
Stigma
Plucking knowledge and art from the teeth of taboo and custom
Surrogate parental instincts
Flattery from insecurity
Great films giving homage to other great films
The mindblowing cinema that is Boogie Nights

Additional Spoiler: Magnolia - 8:20

Bonus - The Hardest Thing To Predict Is The Future - (1984 vs. Brave New World)

Sunday, November 24, 2024 • Duration 52:20

Welcome to a bonus episode of Really True Fiction. Those with a keen eye will have noticed that our last two episodes were on 1984 and Brave New World. So, for a bonus, Dan and I do a bit of a compare and contrast between them; seeing as they are both very famous and of a similar ouevre. In this bonus episode we talk about:

1984 being a better novel, sociopathic vs. beaurocratic evil, what is a more realistic villainy, the ennui of BNW, 1984 as a society that has actually been achieved in history, media/art/culture portrayals as more accurate in BNW, 1984 as more insightful on the manipulation of language, the different takes on hedonism, speaking as indecipherable from thinking, blasphemy, and which world we find more bleak.

Thanks for listening to this mini-adventure into classic dystopia!
