Get ready for an episode full of production value as we get nostalgic with JJ Abrams and SUPER 8 - the 70s set sci-fi drama following a group of kids making their own movie in their backyard, and happen to stumble on a government conspiracy involving an escaped extra-terrestrial being. We welcome back returning guests Daniel Kelly and Michael Perry, re-assembling the team that once made up our student radio show Close-Up on RAW 1251AM, fittingly looking at a movie that was released the summer before we all met for the very first time. We dig into its value as a nostalgic artefact; a film looking back and directly homaging Amblin of old, and how successful Abrams is at approximating that Spielberg-vibe while also trying to deliver something that feels like it comes from the heart, as well as assessing its place in the early 2010s blockbuster landscape. We also resurrect a old feature from our Close-Up days to give you some further viewing recommendations. Mint!
