Kathryn joins Melvin to discuss our latest Patreon-picked movie; Her! The two discuss the ins-and-outs of digital romance, modern sexuality, and so much more all in a post Chat-GPT world!
Topics:
- (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 26-minutes discussing disc rot, media preservation, and the difficulty of preserving media in general all because Melvin found on his copy of On Golden Pond a Documentary special-feature he can't find any record of online, either on Wikipedia, IMDB, or YouTube. (PATREON EXCLUSIVE)
- Melvin & Kathryn both kick things off with some positives.
- With that out of the way... the cat's out of the bag: neither Melvin nor Kathryn liked Her.
- Melvin, "[Her] is wrapped up in a visually pleasing film with performers who are very impressive and I find that that might actually be distracting from the flaws of the film."
- Theo is codependent, and Sam is an enabler.
- Melvin & Kathryn take turns explaining things they didn't like while using examples from other movies they feel better represent those ideas.
- Melvin felt the technology in the film was kind of terrible.
- Theo is uncomfortable with the idea that a woman would have a desire conflicting with his own.
- Kathryn, "[Theo] has a "pornified" style of relating to women."
- Discussing the initial sexual encounter with Sam & the "surrogate sex" scene.
- Melvin, "[Theo] is not capable of having a safe sexual encounter with this born-beautiful-yesterday-manic-pixie-dream-girl."
