HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE (2005) & Transition The Prestige

    • TV & Film

Is this the best film yet? It’s certainly the most ‘grown up’, whatever that means; we talk about being no longer a kids’ franchise, the role of Robert Pattinson, and a whole host of different transitions.

This Week’s Watching
SCANDAL (2012—): Shonda Rhimes, Kerry Washington, Tony Goldwyn
modern family (2009—): Christopher Lloyd, Steven Levitan, Ed O'Neill

Recommendations
JESSICA JONES (2015—): Melissa Rosenberg, Krysten Ritter, Mike Colter
PUSHING TIN (1999): Mike Newell, John Cusack, Billy Bob Thornton
DAZED AND CONFUSED (1993): Richard Linklater, Jason London, Wiley Wiggins
THE CHILDHOOD OF A LEADER (2015): Brady Corbet, Bérénice Bejo, Liam Cunningham

Footnotes
Another sparse week for footnotes, other than more about Peter Pettigrew, whose identity we discovered last week (although to be avoided if you’re not keen on spoilers, it looks like). This is good about the topic of transition in film — particularly in teen film — which we touched on with our discussions of adolescence. Finally, don’t forget to check out our umbrella podcast network at Kaiju FM — subscribe to your favourite! (Well, second favourite, obviously.)
