Episode 31: Metropolis

This week on Remainders, we begin Part One of our Fritz Lang
Double-Feature with the 1927 sci-fi classic Metropolis. A German
Expressionist story of broken down workers toiling away to
produce a life of luxury for the rich. Sound familiar? We discuss
the recurring themes that are still around today and how Lang
created something that not only still resonates with society
today, but also the visuals that looked far ahead of its time.
Other topics include a little movie called Avatar, the Year of
the Fraser, Tom Cruise’s chaotic and film-obsessed antics, TLB’s
first show of the year at La Invitacion on Jan 14th in San
Bernardino, and life and movie plans for 2023. And as always, the
mediator between the head and hands must be the heart.
