Writer/Producer Anupam Nigam is back on the feed to talk about the second episode of The West Wing, "Post Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc".In this episode, we discuss the poorly aged Sam Seaborn subplot of 'rescuing' a call girl, as well as some of the shameful gender roles at play. We also contemplate how this show changed the American view of politics, and how much we expect from our political leaders.

West Wing Wednesday: Post Hoc, Ergo Propter Hoc w/ Anupam Nigam

With Godzilla tearing up the box office (and our small screens) for the first time in three years, we thought it was the perfect time to cover Godzilla 2000, Toho's response to the critically panned american outing, with screenwriter, and all around Godzilla expert, Anupam Nigam.As the second reboot, and 23rd overall production by Toho, Godzilla 2000 sought to revitalize the franchise, and bring it back from the critical pit Roland Emmerich left it in. We talk about the subpar english dub, the state of kaiju flicks in the 90s, and the evolution of Godzilla's design. We also take some time to discuss the recently released Godzilla vs. Kong, and how both monsters have been treated over the years. Do these films fare better as mindless slog fests, or as thoughtful, slow moving cultural reflections? Listen in as we try to sort out our thoughts on this larger than life franchise!Find Anupam at: twitter.com/anupamnigamPatreon: patreon.com/podcastlikeits1989Twitter: twitter.com/podcastlikeitsInstagram: instagram.com/podcastlikeitsReddit: reddit.com/r/PodcastLikeIts Hosted on Acast.

167: Godzilla 2000 w/ Anupam Nigam

Anupam Nigam (Station 19, Psych) joins Kenny and Phil to discuss “Blue Streak,” Martin Lawrence’s 1999 remake of the beloved British Heist Film “The Big Job.” “Blue Streak” is one of the few remakes we cover in 1999 and, frankly, the most superfluous. Of what use is Martin Lawrence’s portrayal of diamond-thief-cum-imposter-police-officer when compared to Sid James’ legendary work in the original? For whom is the easy chemistry between Lawrence and co-star Luke Wilson, when anybody could type “The Big Job” into any steaming service and relive the timeless, oft-quoted repartee between Mr. James and Dick Emery? And which constituency was crying out to have the masterful scene where Mr. James disguises himself as a Italian food courier - replete with those classic wonky British dentures - reenacted by Mr. Lawrence? “Blue Streak” is, on own merits, a perfectly cromulent caper. But it is rendered obsolete in a society like ours, for, as everyone knows, “The Big Job” is cultural touchstone for families the world over. In remaking a timeless classic like “The Big Job,” moviegoers in 1999 likely wondered if Hollywood had simply run out of new ideas. Fortunately, it did not portend a permanent problem for the film industry. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
