    POP ART: Episode 123, Parenthood/The Royal Tenenbaums

    POP ART says FAMILY PLOTS: Yes, believe it or not, the latest episode of Pop Art, the podcast where we find the pop culture in art and the art in pop culture, is now up. I can’t believe it myself, and yet…it’s true. Get ready for Episode 123.   “All happy families are happy in the same way; all unhappy families are unhappy in their own way.” Let’s see if that rapscallion Leo Tolstoy is correct. This time around I am joined by the most enthusiastic Andy Goulding of Blueprint Review as we discussed Ron Howard’s Parenthood and Wes Anderson’s The Royal Tenenbaums.     As a side note, I could use a lot more followers and reviews. So, give a guy a break and rhapsodize poetic while talking about how much you love what I have to say.     Andy and I especially had a great discussion on comparing the modernist approach of Howard and the post-modern/metamodern approach of Anderson; what films reflected our family life growing up; the racial aspects and attitude toward women in both; and many other discussions. It was a great time.     Also check out Andy at The Blueprint Review at https://blueprintreview.co.uk/author/madmanmundt/ And Spoiler: Reviewing movies, books & TV shows in their entirety at https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/spoiler-reviewing-movies-books-tv-shows-in-their-entirety/id1042430544     Check out my blog at https://howardcasner.wordpress.com/     My books, More Rantings and Ravings of a Screenplay Reader, The Starving Artists and Other Stories and The Five Corporations and One True Religion can be found at https://www.amazon.com/s?k=howard+casner&ref=nb_sb_noss

    POP ART: Episode 122, Foul Play/The Man Who Knew Too Much

    QUE SERA, SERA, What will be, will be, is what they say. However, what I say is that finally, Episode 122 of Pop Art is now up. Yes, Pop Art, the podcast where we find the pop culture in art and the art in pop culture.   So get out those second amendment rights, as Jason Soto of the Rabbit Hole Podcasts and I discuss Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase in Foul Play and Jimmy Stewart and Doris Day in Hitchcock’s remake of his own film The Man Who Knew Too Much, two movies about ordinary people woh get swept up in an assassination plot.   As a side note, I could use a lot more followers and reviews. So give a guy a break and rhapsodize poetic while talking about how much you love what I have to say.   Jason and I especially had a great discussion on paranoia and conspiracy in films, comparing the two versions of the Hitchcock film, and praising Dudley Moore’s breakout performance.   Also check out the Rabbit Hole Podcast at https://rabbitholepodcasts.com/author/whateverjasonsoto/ It is a virtual treasure trove of goodies to listen to when it comes to pop culture.   Check out my blog at https://howardcasner.wordpress.com/   My books, More Rantings and Ravings of a Screenplay Reader, The Starving Artists and Other Stories and The Five Corporations and One True Religion can be found at https://www.amazon.com/s?k=howard+casner&ref=nb_sb_noss     Be sure to like, follow or comment on my podcast.
