Megalopolis (2024)

We pledge allegiance to our human family, and to all the species that we protect, and to Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis! Joining us is Mark Hofmeyer (Movies, Films & Flix). First, we must begin by apologizing how hard this is to find and watch -- we explain why. We work our way through the twisted history of Megalopolis and Coppola's history of bankrupting himself for his artistic visions -- and what was different this time around. Mark asks: is this a weekend philosopher film? We don't really talk about the plot, and instead ask: which Fast and Furious character would have a bow? Which character would we try to stop time for? Joe talks about how this was a a "no mom" production. We gush about Nathalie Emmanuel as the standout -- and not just because she plays Ramsey. Mark shares a thought on the line "concrete and steel are safe."
