Ep 37 - Respect

Time for a little RESPECT! WE hit the ground running with the boomer vs millenial takes on this one. Is this a good movie, outside of Jennifer Hudson’s great performance & the eternal draw of Aretha Franklin’s music? Is RESPECT a good music biopic in a post-WALK HARD world? Is this just a mirror of BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY? What makes a good biopic? How honest does a biopic need to be? Raphael seems to be hung up on the filmmaking, while Raquel is immersed in the characters. 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
