Ep 36 - Old

Finally, our episode that makes you OLD! Raquel tells personal stories about her vacations. Is this a film a failed scary movie or a campy Twilight Zone-esque story? We talk about the great use of framing and hiding things off screen that are turning old. Shymalan really gives the children full characterization and agency in this movie. Raquel appreciates the portrayal of the aging process, but was the rusty knife scene needed? Is Shymalan’s cameo in this film the best director cameo of all time? What are the bioethical rammifications of the beach that makes you old? All this and more! The Generation Splice is film podcast where retired psychologist Dr. Raquel Martinez, a Baby Boomer through & through, & her son Raphael Jose Martinez, a cranky millennial punk rocker/film writer, discuss various films through the lens of their generation & personal experiences. Every week one host picks a movie to dissect & see if they can splice together the generation gap via their love of film. 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
