Join us as we wade through Robert Zemeckis’ sentimental wash, explore anchored memories in heart shaped prisons, unravel its wandering focus, the relentless passage of time, and the side effects of a fractured chronology. Our conversation delves into cinematic nihilism and predatory storytelling, the moments where the plot and purpose contradict, and the detrimental stage-like quality. We confront the film’s disillusioning questions, its tendency to trivialize the human experience, and the texture-less relationships that populate its world. Along the way, we dissect signature Zemeckisisms, the square transitions and visual gimmicks, and the urge to correct the film’s misfires. The invention of the La-Z-Boy is here, too! We trace knotless threads that run across several stories, examine the dialogue, the curious use of de-aging, and the general fixation on time, all while pondering the audacity of meaning. Join us for a lively, incisive discussion that both haunts and perplexes. Please enjoy.
