FEAR AND LOATHING IN CINEMA
Episode #110 – Under The Silver Lake (2018)
In the noir universe of dog killers and underground parties of film podcasts, Fear and Loathing in Cinema sets itself apart with its irreverent blend of pop culture critique, nostalgic deep-dives, and a razor-sharp, at times almost uncomfortably candid, dissection of cinematic relics that were once scorned but now, with the benefit of time, seem worthy of a second look. Hosted by a group of unpredictable yet undeniably insightful voices; Bryan Kluger, a media director with a sharp sense of irony of offensive things; Dan Moran, a lawyer who brings an often absurd legal perspective of the film industry and Kevin Costner; Preston Barta, a film critic with a taste for the heart-warmingly obscure branch of cinema; and Chelsea Nicole, a culture critic who digs into the nuances of social dynamics and horror; Fear and Loathing in Cinema Podcast thrives in that rare space between sincere analysis and gut-busting humor.
In the latest episode of Fear and Loathing in Cinema (#110), the podcast gang plunges into the kaleidoscopic oddity that is Under the Silver Lake (2018), a film from David Robert Mitchell, the auteur who made waves with his unsettling horror film It Follows. This time around, Mitchell steps into the realm of noir; a genre he reinterprets as an ever-winding fever dream, and the results are as confusing as they are captivating. In a podcast that mirrors the chaotic and often absurd ride of the film itself, the team takes a forensic approach to Mitchell’s cinematic kitchen sink, digging into the deeper currents of its noir sensibilities, its pop culture zeitgeist, and its commitment to embracing the utterly and musically strange. As ever, Fear and Loathing in Cinema is willing to sift through the wreckage for something that might make sense, while reveling in the mystery of what it all might mean.
