#58 – Movie Directors & Film Franchises: Story Exposition, Star Wars & Comicbook Multiverses With Dan

This week is movies galore, where Mike & his friend Dan talk about purely movies for over an hour!

In their chat about movies, they discuss Marvel & DC’s respective universes & recent movies before discussing their favourite Tarantino movies, how filmmakers often give too much exposition, before discussion other notable director’s work such as James Wan’s involvement in the Saw and the Fast & Furious franchise, followed by talks about Blade Runner & the book that inspired it (Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep), many other movies are mentioned before the chat is finished with Mike talking about Star Wars!

Next week Mike’s chat with Dan continues with a full subject matter change as they talk about Dan’s time as a cameraman at Bestival and some of his work at university, before delving into a discussion on bands changing their sound & “selling out”, what one appreciates about their own music taste, the subjective nature of music genres and they finish it all with 3 album recommendations each, so be sure to say ‘til the end if you want to check out 6 new bands of different genres!

Last week, Mike spoke with Frank of the Ragbag podcast about his new book One Hundred and his writing-process, what inspired him to write a 100-chapter short-story book, many of the thought experiments the book delves into, the idea of solitude not being a bad thing, what Frank & Mike define “milking” a series is, as well as discussing bad customer service, the process of recording & releasing an audiobook, what defines consciousness, the importance of community and much more – they even get into conspiracy theories towards the end of part 2!
