Me and Patrick tackle the big questions regarding why we bother
to talk about movies at all and slip into a little processing of
our own about the nature of movie-viewing and the importance of the
"rewatch." But for the majority of the episode, we parse the
idea of movies that can potentially grow on you over
time. My choices for discussion were THE MASTER and JOE VS. THE VOLCANO, two oddities
that couldn't be more different from one another, that I didn't
love until I saw them a second time.
After our reviews of both films (one of which is a straight-up
disagreement) something rather unexpected occurs. A wildly
organic conversation erupts about the nature of why we watch so
many movies in the first place! Patrick questions his need to
see "everything" despite leaving the show as a permanent co-host
and I come to terms with the fact that movies are just a part of my
own personal narrative. So it gets pretty heavy and personal
later on in a very interesting way. The episode fades out
leaving the listener wondering... will Jim and Patrick return as
full-time co-hosts in the future? God only knows. But
expect a few more appearences from Patrick throughout the year
regardless, and we're all the better for it. He will be back
with at least three more bonus episodes in the months to come, and
obviously, he is welcome back anytime. Thanks everyone for
listening to a very personal (and hopefully) enlightening
conversation - Jim
