Note: We apologize for the late posting of this episode. This episode, we return to the works of director Martin Scorsese to watch the film Hugo. Jena was unable to join us so we appointed stunt Jena Sean O’Laughlin to watch the film with us. Hugo is notable for being a film almost completely unlike any other film by Martin Scorsese. It starts out as a children’s movie and morphs into a love letter about film preservation. It is also visually amazing. We dissect all of this in our conversation after watching the film.
A few things to watch if you have the time:
This video showing a breakdown of the final shot in the film.
A full length, color version of George Melies’ Le Voyage Dans la Lune.
Our next episode will be about Horror of Dracula!
