Show Notes

What is cinema? What role does it play in our lives? And can it be a comment on itself? These questions and more come to mind while watching writer-director Charlie Kaufman’s informal Metacinema Trilogy. Logan & Andy take a trip down the meta-narrative rabbit hole as they discuss 1999’s Being John Malkovich, 2002’s Adaptation, and 2008’s Synecdoche, New York. How can an artist get progressively more meta with each project? Which of these is the densest, narratively and conceptually? What is a movie with TWO Nicolas Cages like? Find out on this cerebral new episode of ODD TRILOGIES!
