Yay excited y'all got Zach on

I can count the number of amazing 2010’s new release movie going experiences I had on one hand, and Elle was one of them. It fit in perfectly with the over the top glory of 2016.

former classical music performance student here -- it's all true. same with jazz too, but the off-the-rails Neal Cassidy style wild abandon of pursuing excellence on let's say the saxophone has faded into something more clinical. but you could've assumed that

Classical music has been already been dead for over a half-century, and it's only a matter of time until it receives its Final Cancellation for being the product of stale pale males. The people who are still trying to pick the last scraps of meat off of this carcass are usually psycho gunner pick-me's with tiger moms. OTOH, those who play an instrument for its own sake are interesting antiquarian types.

My classically trained musician friends confirm that pianists are total masochists.

Haneke sucked me in with Cache. His Brechtian meta irony-breau does feel self serving some times, but it speaks to me, and works as a kind of Proverb. Time of the Wolf, Code Unknown and Benny's Video all affected me in their own ways, but 71 Fragments in a Chronology of Chance remains in my top five films of all time. It predicted Columbine in a sense, and it's up there with Citizen Kane and Trump in terms of trolling the absurdity of journalism. Haneke breaks my heart with more consistency than almost any other director. I still haven't seen piano teacher. Maybe time for a Haneke marathon.

Only about halfway through the episode but you can't talk drag queens in Japan without mentioning the incredible Matsuko Deluxe, who has made a career being fat and outspoken and has a couple of shows doing things like interviewing train spotters. Miwa Akihiro is another legend. Black Lizard is well worth a watch if you haven't seen it, speaking of Mishima. I enjoyed the Mishima episode but I have to admit the Jpop episode was way too cringey to listen to as somebody familiar with the language and genre but I'll have to check out the rest of the pod on Jack's recommendation. Jpop is tough to get a handle on as an outsider because there are so many layers of cultural references that just don't translate to English. Even something as simple as the evolution of idol group member colors from the kids Super Sentai (power rangers) TV series appears mysterious and opaque from outside.

Pausing two minutes in to say that I have never in my 33 years met another human being who could casually reference my favorite director in the world, William Castle, and the longer I listen to TPN the more I suspect it is actually being beamed to my ears from inside my brain
