ΤΡΙΤΩΣΕ! Η επιστροφή μας είναι γεγονός! Η τρίτη μας σεζόν δεν θα μπορούσε παρά να ξεκινήσει με ένα μεγάλο πάρτι. Ένα πάρτι με αστειάρες, διλήμματα και επικούς διαξιφισμούς. "Και ποιός θα επιληφθεί της ψυχαγωγίας", θα ρωτήσετε εύλογα; "Μα ποιός καλύτερος από έναν κλόουν", θα απαντήσει απολύτως κανένας. Μα σε κάθε περίπτωση, αυτός ο συγκεκριμένος κλόουν με το φονικό χαμόγελο δεν περιμένει προσκλήσεις για να εμφανιστεί! Ποιός σκουντούσε τον διπλανό του από αγαλλίαση στο σινεμά και ποιός παραμένει αμετανόητος πληρωμένος Μαρβελάκιας; Ποιός κινδυνεύει να μετατραπεί στον επόμενο Άρθουρ Φλεκ και ποιός μένει ανικανοποίητος από την... κωμική ανεπάρκεια του σκηνοθέτη; Σε πόσες από τις προβλέψεις μας για το sequel πέσαμε μέσα και πόση σχέση έχει με όλα αυτά ο Μπόρατ, ο μίστερ Μπούτιας και ο Μάρτιν Σκορτσέζε; Το παρόν περιέχει έλλειψη αναφορών σε Φρανκ Σινάτρα, και ντροπή μας!

Ποιά ήταν η πιο παράξενη στιγμή των δύο επιτυχημένων ταινιών; Ποιός έβαλε νερό στο κρασί του αγγίζοντας για πρώτη φορά ζητήματα που συνήθως προσπερνούσε; Ποιός έσκασε αδιάβαστος για ηχογράφηση και έφυγε γεμάτος γνώσεις με το κεφάλι του γεμάτο επιτυχίες του Σάκη του Ρουβά; Τί σχέση έχουν με όλα αυτά η Υπουργός Πολιτισμού μας και ο Τζόκερ; Πωπω τόσες ερωτήσεις και οι απαντήσεις να είναι ΤΟΣΟ κοντά, ΜΑ ΕΙΝΑΙ ΑΜΑΡΤΙΑ ΝΑ ΜΗΝ ΤΙΣ ΔΙΕΚΔΙΚΗΣΕΤΕ. Μη συγκρατιέστε άλλο! Προσποιηθείτε πώς οι απαντήσεις είναι το Όσκαρ και εσείς είστε ο Yorgos της καρδιάς μας, πατήστε play και διεκδικήστε τις μέχρι τελικής πτώσεως! 2024-03-121h 10Life in the Valley PodcastLife in the Valley PodcastApostasy?

Στα αποκαϊδια του επεισοδίου για τη Barbie, που άφησε πίσω τον ανταγωνισμό κατακτώντας ακόμα μια σημαντική πρωτιά μετά την εισπρακτική επιτυχία της, αναδύεται το αντίπαλο δέος. Ο Christopher Nolan, σκηνοθέτης που ευνοεί τις ακραίες απόψεις περνάει επιτέλους από το μικροσκόπιο των Φιλμτατων με μια ταινία που κάνει... "μπαμ". Βιογραφικες ταινίες και αφηγηματικό ενδιαφέρον: είναι καθόλου συμβατές σαν έννοιες; Ποιες είναι οι καλύτερες ταινίες του Νόλαν έως σημερα και με ποιες καταφέρνει να μοιάσει η καινούρια του; Ποια είναι τα μεγάλα μυστικα που κρυβονται στην IMAX εκδοχή της ταινίας; Και τι σχέση έχει τελοσπαντων με όλα αυτα "Το ημερολόγιο ενός σπασίκλα"; Now we are become Filmtatoi, the destroyers of boredom!
