Needless to say this episode is going to be a baffling topic at first glance, but hopefully something that becomes more and more clarifying towards the end. At better yet, something that will give a new perspective to all three movies.
Our podcast starts as Liisa reveals her intentions with compiling these specific movies for our discussion after which we go into all three films separately. In the end we go more deeply into the overall theme that combines these movies.
For example in relation to the latest Bond we discuss such highly sophisticated topics as comparing Bond with MacGyver, how Buster Keaton's slapstick legacy continues in modern Bond films and all the necessary issues we have with Daniel Craig's looks now that he is getting older.
With Hugo we go all out expressing our love for that movie, but get also into thinking about different aspects of the film such as the relationship between fantasy and realism, it being a children movie suitable for adults just as well and why the hell does Salvador Dali, James Joyce and Django Reindhart appear in the film.
Lastly we get to the juicy part with Liisa's favorite heroine of all time: Adèle Blanc-Sec by French comic artist Tardi. We approach the famous comic heroine with the assumption that people maybe don't really know her, so we explain all we know about the comic series and how it was adapted into film by Luc Besson. Being the last element of our trio we compare her character in the broader sense with James Bond and Hugo Cabret.
You can be quite safe with spoilers. We don't reveal anything from Spectre and talk about so many different small details that you will be safe from overall spoiling of these stories.
