"Send us a Text!"

Theatre teacher Grace Jones joins us to share her deep love for cinema, kicking off with a playful conversation about the musical "Wicked," which Natey and Grace are fanatical about. With Grace's vibrant passion for film, we shift gears to discuss Christopher Nolan's "Interstellar," a movie that blends jaw-dropping visuals with Hans Zimmer's powerful score. Grace gushes over the film's exceptional sound design, while Katy adds a dash of humor recounting her husband's succinct review: "long and quiet." Together, we dissect unforgettable scenes like the heart-stopping water planet and unite in our distaste for Matt Damon's character, exploring the film’s rich emotional and cinematic layers.
Our character analysis explores how "Interstellar" intertwines science and storytelling, with insights into Kip Thorne's role in grounding the film's cosmic concepts in scientific reality. The discussion ventures into the ethical and emotional challenges that the characters face, especially Matthew McConaughey's, as they balance personal desires against the fate of humanity. We examine the moral quandaries introduced by the choices of Matt Damon's and Michael Caine’s characters, questioning their motives and the resulting impact. As we wrap up, excitement builds for our next episode on "The Godfather Part II," promising another round of captivating film discussions.
