Ep 33 - Magic w/ April Wolfe
Since we can’t stop podcasting for 5 minutes we decided to discuss MAGIC with screenwriter April Wolfe. Raquel explains why she did re-watch this for decades. April talks about why she likes films directed by actors, & how this one kept from going full camp. The various MAGICs that could have been are analyzed. How Ann-Margaret rules even in this mediocre role. April dissects why Anthony Hopkins is so good at playing horror. Raphael talks programming the infamous pulled trailer. How good of a writer is William Goldman?! And It’s high time MAGIC gets it’s reappraisal! Don’t be a dummy, & check this one out! The Generation Splice is film podcast where retired psychologist Dr. Raquel Martinez, a Baby Boomer through & through, & her son Raphael Jose Martinez, a cranky millennial punk rocker/film writer, discuss various films through the lens of their generation & personal experiences. Every week one host picks a film to dissect & see if they can splice together the generation gap via their love of film. Feel free to write to us!
