It’s the Pictures Podcast: Episode 5
John and Max weave a joint review of the new Jungle Book adaptation in with a larger discussion of Disney animated classics that are being reimagined as live-action blockbusters. Is this an exciting trend? Or are we heading toward a bubble that will burst?
They’ve also got some thoughts on the new streaming video platform launched by TCM and the Criterion Collection, as well as the HBO film Confirmation, Prince’s Purple Rain, and Beyonce’s video album Lemonade.
