008 Comfort in Pitch Black

008 Comfort in Pitch Black

Author: NonsenseMovieChat April 13, 2013 Duration: 4:08
Life gone dark? Can't see the alien threat? Listen to episode 8.

NonsenseMovieChat is a strange little corner of the audio universe where the love of cinema collides with a complete disregard for serious critique. The hosts dive into everything from the biggest blockbusters to the most obscure cult classics, but they're just as likely to abandon their premise entirely for a tangent of pure, aimless rubbish. The guiding principle-if you can call it that-is a joyful deconstruction of what we watch. While they occasionally pretend to mine for life lessons in popular and unpopular films, framing it as a parody of self-help culture, it's mostly an excuse to chat about the weird, wonderful, and often baffling world of moving pictures. Listening to this podcast feels like eavesdropping on a conversation between friends who have seen too many movies and have decided that making each other laugh is the highest form of analysis. You'll hear genuine affection for filmmaking alongside relentless mockery, all delivered with a deadpan commitment to the bit. It’s less a review show and more an experiment in how long you can talk about a movie before the discussion veers into glorious nonsense. Mainstream and cult movies are all considered, but never treated with too much reverence. The result is an unpredictable and consistently amusing listen for anyone who thinks film chat should be fun, messy, and entirely unpretentious.
