In this episode of 'What the Film', hosts Vishaal and Kevin discuss their recent travels, rumblings of films currently in production, and delve into their first double feature with ‘Superman’ and ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’! They discuss how these films, while different in genre/tone, actually have a lot in common through their mutual interest in using nostalgia to connect with audiences. For ‘Superman’ they share their own personal relationship to the indelible superhero and what the film may or may not be communicating about our current political climate. As for ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ they discuss the film in the context of the larger trend that has brought many other legacy horror franchises back to theaters. How does this film stack up against others in the genre? Has this trend become stale or does it still feel fresh to audiences?
The conversation wraps up with reflections (& threats by Vishaal) on Gen Z audience behavior in theaters -- oh boy.
