On this episode of Fly By Films, we gush on the power and the glory of Jennifer Connelly ̶(̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶W̶i̶l̶l̶i̶a̶m̶ ̶H̶u̶r̶t̶)̶ and how much Jamison despises—AND I MEAN DESPISES—the band Genesis. We do a little looking forward in the podcast's future to see what might become our Oasis moment. We spend a surprising amount of time talking about music and Blake's weird infatuation with hauntology. Then we turn our attention to 1998's Dark City by Alex Proyas and what it has to say about humanity and memory. Is it possible to be human without true memories? Is the ending to the film bleak? Is Nathan Fielder the devil (or at least a Stranger)? You might find the answers to all of these and more on this episode, but probably not.
