Episode Eleven: AFIRE (Dir Christian Peztold, 2023)

On paper, Afire seems like it is an alegory for climate change. It is actually a movie about Corbin irritating himself to death. Whoops!

Next week's movie, part of a VERY SPECIAL CHRISTMAS PNWICMFP is MEET JOHN DOE, by Frank Capra. You can watch it here, on Criterion, or here, on the Internet Archive, because a long time ago someone forgot to renew the copyright. 

Did anyone see the new Miyazaki movie, aside from me? My man is operating heavy in an allegorical space right now. Also the use of blues and greens... very cool. No one uses color better in the history of the medium, you ask me.
