Show Notes

Once upon a time in Brooklyn, where the moon lights up the sky with reckless romantic possibility, we bring you the story of love both as it is and as it could be, fueled by brutality, gentleness, and the raw, unstoppable power of 80s Cher and Nicky Cage. Talking points: the longest summary segment yet (but we promise it's all necessary); how a spread in character age lends legitimacy to romantic subplots; love as a gendered power struggle; bringing the operatic to the cinematic; heightened setting and grounded character; Nicolas Cage's arms; and, hey, why do men chase women? Our indie creator spotlight this episode falls on Michi @RequiemPluie.
