Wondering if you've seen Vox Lux (apologies if you've addressed this, new subscriber) and, if so, would love your thoughts on it.

The plane bombing in Glamorama. And the plane wreckage Graham (I believe) looks through in The Informers. Is this a fear of yours? Or your Father’s? Thank you & happy holidays.

2018-12-21 01:56:00 +0000 UTCHi Bret and the team. Greetings from Sydney, Australia. I’d like to quickly mention that I love supporting the podcast and contributing towards quality content. Keep up the good work. Bret, I remember you saying on an earlier episode of the podcast that you find it difficult to enjoy movies and TV shows if they don’t have a sense of humour. I’d like to know why you consider humour to be necessary across all genres and mediums. What role does humour play in a movie like Dunkirk, or the new Suspiria remake? I’d consider both of these films to be great, but I don’t consider either of them to contain much humour. Would you agree?

2018-12-21 01:42:30 +0000 UTCYour work is usually described as “Postmodern.” Would you agree with this label? If yes, then do you also reject enlightenment thinking, as it is a tenant of Postmodernism, and why? It would seem to me that your critiques on the podcast, which I agree with, are pretty logical and deal with reason over ideology, wouldn't reason be enlightenment thinking?

2018-12-21 01:25:46 +0000 UTCBret, I’m mostly onboard with your assessment of “Dear White People”. Season 1 definitely feels hermetic and suffocates on its own ideology - but is very well shot aesthetically. But I will say Season 2 definitely starts to breathe, and found myself actually kind of liking it. My question - do you think Justin Simien secretly drew inspiration from Rules of Attraction for “Dear White People”? The former a Gen X narrative while the latter Millenial. Did you see any parallels between your sensibility on “Rules” vs Simien’s on DWP?
