"Dumb" movies and TV shows: why it is sometimes useful to turn off the brain. Discussed in the Caretaker podcast
Miscellaneous / / August 11, 2021
An in-depth talk about TV shows for housewives, the enduring popularity of the Fast and the Furious franchise, and category B films.
Watching only complex, intellectual films is quite a tedious task. The audience quickly gets tired of such mental stress. This is where “shameful pleasures” come to their aid: serials about policemen, action films with Stallone and soap operas that have not disappeared from the screens for half a century.
In this issue of The Watchman, Alexey Khromov and Mikhail Volnykh discuss guilty pleasure and figure out why no need to be ashamed what you watch. The hosts are also trying to clarify who is still making the box office of the Fast and Furious action film series, and more. they talk a little about the cult trash - films for those who do not mind sometimes sinking to the very bottom cinema.
