Lanterns #03 with Cows in the Field (Justin & Laura Khoo)
Manage episode 486638575 series 3344436
Lanterns is a miniseries celebrating 10 years of Karyn Kusama's THE INVITATION (2015) with some of the brightest lights in contemporary film criticism and podcasting. Through a hybrid of personal essay and long form interview, host/creator Jim Penola weaves a narrative conversation around the persistent merits and prescient lessons of Kusama's cult masterpiece.
Episode #03 features guests Justin & Laura Khoo, co-hosts of Cows in the Field: a podcast about philosophical themes in popular films. Justin is professor of philosophy at MIT and Laura is an art historian turned fundraiser and teacher.
The Khoos' life experience as educators, parents, and prolific film podcasters facilitates a level of ease and depth within our talk that I both treasure and seek. Topics discussed include: Naomi Klein and doppelgängers ("what if Tom Hardy played David?"), how Logan Marshall-Green embodies Kusama's interest in complex gender roles, and what quantum superposition has to do with grief.
