Ep 21 - Juno

Raquel picks the 2007 indiewood smash JUNO this week. It’s one of her more recent feel good movies. She loves the dialogue & the characters. Raphael finds those exact things annoying, after loving the film on it’s release. Raquel is emotionally moved & loves Michael Cera. Is Juno looking for a father figure in Jason Bateman, or being flirtatious? Raphael thinks the movie is trying too hard to be cool and hipster, but also finds a way to drop some personal Kimya Dawson and Juno soundtrack stories. The Generation Splice is film podcast where retired psychologist Dr. Raquel Martinez, a Baby Boomer through and through, and her son Raphael Jose Martinez, a cranky Millenial punk rocker, former music journalist, and current film writer, discuss various films through the lens of their generation & personal experiences. Every week one host picks a film for the two of them to dissect and see if they can splice together the generation gap via their love of the movies. Feel free to write to us! Give us some film suggestions at [email protected] or @gensplicepod on Twitter. Raphael is on Twitter at @citycelluloid. You can find his film writing at cinefile.info and film-cred.com The show is produced by The Martinez Family & the show’s theme song was written, performed, & produced by Raphael.
