(Re) Encounters

Sam and Boris love films, books, TV, music and every form of culture you can name. The thing is that Sam has seemingly seen and experienced way more of it. Every time Sam finds out that Boris has no idea about a piece of media Sam thinks everyone knows about, Sam simply cannot contain his amazement. The two of them have decided to share (in podcast form) their journeys through and encounters with culture that one or both of them may be unfamiliar with. Their adventures will consist of discussion, analysis, trivia and reconsidering what really makes a piece of media culturally significant. You can look forward to hearing examples of their unorthodox senses of humour, love of completely useless information and capacity to deliver endless hot takes. To paraphrase Darth Vader - "They would be honoured if you would join them..." (hopefully that's one they've both seen).

04: Pan's Labyrinth and Magic Realism - a (Re)Encounter

After another long break, the podcasting duo of Sam and Boris is back - and what a treat they have prepared for you all this time! In a slight deviation from the previous episodes of this project, the hosts discuss not only the masterpiece that is the 2006 Guillermo Del Toro directed film Pan's Labyrinth, but also the movement of Magic Realism and how it relates to this film as well as the wider world of literature. Pop culture references, mentions of beloved authors and famous actors - both within the Spanish and English language film industry abound. In the longest episode of (Re)Encounters thus far, let yourself be transported to a sinister, yet beautiful kingdom of magic; if you keep listening to the end, your new favourite podcasting duo will guide you home safely.
