A common thread throughout these conversations — and moviegoing as a whole — is looking to the movies as an escape, a portal to another world to either find the best or worst in humanity. For our next two episodes, we’ll look at 10 films that do just that, such as Peter Falk reading a fairy tale to Fred Savage, two different takes on Alice in Wonderland, Miles Morales being brought to the big screen, or Armie Hammer trying to make an equisapien MLK Jr. Each of these films represent either a world entirely different from our own, or at least a heightened version of our reality.
