Shirleon joins Melvin to discuss Synchronic, one of the later Benson & Moorhead productions before they transitioned into television. The two get into all of the interesting ideas at play, while also accepting the fact that a lot of the ideas only somewhat work.
Topics:
- (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 24-minutes discussing the National Association of Theater Owners (NATO) is investing $2.2 Billion over 3-years to revamp theaters, which include AMC, Regal, and Cinemark to have laser-projection, arcades, and even... ziplines? (PATREON EXCLUSIVE)
- Melvin kicks things off by discussing the directing duo of Benson & Moorhead.
- Shirleon & Melvin agree: Synchronic may have been better as a mini-series.
- Shirleon & Melvin also agree: the first half of the film’s tone is not only completely different to the second half, it’s also just a better movie.
- By the time the film ends, it feels like it didn't earn its ending. Almost in every way.
- Defining the actual word "Synchronic", and how the fictional drug is correlated to Ayahuasca (and also doesn't make sense).
- Melvin, "There's just, like... the kitchen sink, man. It just gets bad."
- Rewriting the ending, because that's what podcasts do.
