In the beginning of the podcast we talk about the Hollywood trend of remakes. We discuss the live action Disney remakes, Jumanji, and reboots. We talk about what remakes mean for the movie industry and the type of stories that make it to the silver screen. We spend most of our time breaking down Avengers: Infinity War. Last week we reviewed the movie and this week we analyze the movie through different lens. Ali looks at Thanos and the hero’s journey, arguing that Avengers made Thanos the main character. Vy examines Thanos as a Malthusian extremist. Diz looks at death in family films. We end our episode with a new Currently Nerdy Patronus.
