Episode 45 - Birdman Review, Batman on Broadway

Proof that the only thing scarier than superhero movies is Broadway.

It’s that time again. We’re back with another edition of Cast-A-Role, and this time round we’re taking a look at Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Oscar-winning, one-shot fever dream, Birdman, starring Micheal Keaton, Edward Nortan and Emma Stone.

In this episode we discuss:

• the outstanding cast, and equally outstanding performance.
• the stunning cinematography.
• we break down the character of Riggan Thomson and the effect his career has had on his mind.

From Keaton poking fun at his own superhero past to Edward Norton basically playing… Edward Norton, we review and analyze why Birdman: Or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) is still one of the most talked-about films of the decade. Expect laughs, insights, and maybe a little existential dread along the way.

 

Other films discussed:

• Jurassic World: Rebirth
• The Fantastic Four
