Episode 05 – Paramount: Why Have You Forsaken Us?

This week brought horrible news: Shutter Island, a movie we had all been waiting for, was pushed back. Therefore, this episode is partly an annoyed rant on that subject, discussion and inquires regarding the reasons for such delay and a smidgen of anger. We debut a new section in which we read comments submitted by our listeners. For closing, Megan reads us her list of reason why Jackie Earle is awesome and deserves his own podcast. As usual, check the whole post for a run-through of the episode and links to referenced material.

REFRENCED ARTICLES

The Zoo Gang review : ” This is the sad story of the Donnely brothers. They want to be accepted by their peers but they can’t because of bourgeois prejudices. The local rich kids use their parents’ money to convert a deserted warehouse into a club. The boys want to help out, but their poor single father can’t spare any money. So the boys offer to work at the club. They even throw out a troublemaker to show their good intentions. However, the rich kids don’t want them around. The boys are expelled from the club, teased about their clothes and hair, ostracised from the community and even assaulted.”
