In the Movies Ep. 43: The Tale & Sexual Violence on Screen

July 21, 2018 in Rated F

Tish and Juliana talk about The Tale and sexual violence on screen. Despite the disturbing events of The Tale, it's an incredible, engaging story and well-made film. So, what makes this film, containing rape scenes, an "important" movie to see while other movies with scenes of sexual violence and/or violence seem gratuitous, indulgent, or just plain sick? There's no definitive answer, but we can discuss the implications of it all.

In the Movies Ep. 35: Vicky Cristina Barcelona and Separating the Art from the Artist

June 26, 2017 in Rated F

Tish and Juliana talk about Vicky Cristina Barcelona and separating the art from the artist with guest Breanne. Despite the male voice narrating and empty, archetypal female characters, we still enjoyed watching Vicky Cristina Barcelona. But how does the knowledge of the filmmaker's personal life (allegedly) affect our enjoyment of a movie? Can we, should we, judge art without influence of knowledge of its creator? How can one reconcile their entertainment with their morals? There's no right answer, but we enjoy discussing the implications.
