Carol vs Velvet Goldmine

Recommended Posts

I thought Carol was the best film of last year (Fury Road a very close second) and it certainly got a lot of critical love to go with. But it was interesting to see Devin be cool towards it, and I think he said on twitter that he preferred Velvet Goldmine, so I think that would be an interesting discussion, especially if you could get David Ehrlich to guest, as I don't think you could do an episode on Carol without the leader of #TeamCarol

I always thought it was interesting that Todd Haynes seemed to think of Velvet Goldmine as paying homage to David Bowie, rather than tearing him down (my interpretation).

I could go for this.

 

I also think Hayne's "I'm Not There" is potentially Canon-worthy. It would be nice to see more LGBTQ filmmakers discussed on the show (I'll also throw in a suggestion for the obvious-but-surely-inevitable "The Matrix" episode).

I would think Velvet Goldmine and I'm Not There would be a better versus, as their the not-quite-rock-autobiographical films.
