Spearheaded by co-host Michael Postle and guest Gregory Parks, there was skepticism on the Joshua Humphrey and Brian Watson-Jones front regarding this entry. The Facebook messenger rants we exchanged, trading thoughts on originality and what a superhero movie must do and set up, were barbed and long-winded. But we, in the spirit of compromise, united to bring you a slug fest on superheroes: a match-up of Man of Steel and Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice: Extended Cut.*

The 80’s buddy comedy and the 2016 (horror? independent? romantic comedy?) film utilize corpses as props, both for different purposes. Bernie is used as a social equalizer, allowing Larry (Andrew McCarthy) and Richard (Jonathan Silverman) to freely hob-nob with 80s “elites,” while Manny (Daniel Radcliffe) is used as a literal swiss army knife to help Hank (Paul Dano) out of any number of situations.

The theme is failed promise, and we explore the creative geniuses behind projects that never came to be in two documentaries: Lost in La Mancha and Jodorowsky’s Dune.
We had a lot of fun with these films, but there’s no denying that our lives are emptier because Terry Gilliam’s The Man Who Killed Don Quixote and Alejandro Jodorowsky’s version of Dune were never made. They probably never will be. They remain out of grasp–perfect in our minds, yet unrealized. And damn if that isn’t depressing.

Partially inspired by this HuffPo article, “Ice Pirates” and “Guardians of the Galaxy” are separated by 30 years, and oh what a change 30 years and giving two bits about your property brings.

Satoshi Kon has been a favorite of mine for years. I started watching him with “Perfect Blue” back when I was in college, and managed to see all of his films afterward: “Millennium Actress” and “Tokyo Godfathers”.
His most recent (and last) full-length feature film was “Paprika”. This film I wanted to revisit for awhile, and what better way to do that but through Double Bill? I thought about other films to pair it with, but ultimately settled on “Inception”, which I’ve since learned was influenced by “Paprika”. An unintentional bonus!

Michael Postle’s picks “The Science of Sleep” and “The Fall” lift us from the “Escape From Tomorrow” fugue.
“The Fall” is a gem that I hadn’t heard about until Mickey suggested it. I love its concentration on imagery and the its mutable narrative. I’m glad that I’ve seen something else now from Michel Gondry besides “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,” and I’m surprised to find that my already high opinion of “Eternal Sunshine” went up a notch despite not being overly fond of “The Science of Sleep.” It was fun to watch, but left me cold afterwa...2014-04-0253 minDouble BillSaving Mr. Banks / Escape From Tomorrow | Double Bill Ep 9 “Saving Mr. Banks” delights us, “Escape From Tomorrow” doesn’t.
The mash-up was chosen from the viewpoint of “Saving Mr. Banks” being a packaged Disney product–it’s part of the Disney brand, and made in such a way to appeal to nostalgia for not only “Mary Poppins,” but for the Disney Co. itself. “Escape From Tomorrow” is the exact opposite–in no way sanctioned by Disney, it is completely outside what Disney would consider producing.
