We’re processing trauma and fighting a mighty wind at the Two Reel Cinema Club this episode, as we go to see the new weather-based action sequel Twisters, and compare it to the 1939 family classic The Wizard of Oz. Twisters can’t stop quoting from Oz, but the parallels don’t end there: both films centre around powerful women and both films are about trying to get back to the Midwest. But we still have questions. How many times can one man get struck by lightning before he gets the message? How small can a B plot be before it disappears in a stiff breeze? Which of the two films is a perfect socialist metaphor? And which features Elon Musk in disguise?
Plus we immerse ourselves in the Pink Floyd soundtracked version of Oz, dubbed Dark Side of the Rainbow, we question how widespread doping is among professional cyclists, we rewatch Metropolis and Night of the Living Dead while listening to Daft Punk and Arcade Fire to investigate apophenia, we enjoy a Henry Fonda classic and we promote a new range of lecterns aimed at supernatural users. Let's hope altogether it’ll be enough to entertain you while you cower in the storm shelter waiting for the tornado to pass…
