Episode 73: ATTACK THE BLOCK (2011) [feat. John Moret]

Featuring special guest and Trylon film programmer John Moret! Film discussion begins at 13:26. The Trylon's first in-theater showing since March, Joe Cornish's sci-fi/horror/comedy/commentary mashup directorial debut ATTACK THE BLOCK touches on just enough 2020-adjacent themes (Black oppression, social confinement, the dangers of the outside world, the villainous police state) to make it a super-fitting complementary piece for the world the theater is reopening into. It's also just fun enough to help you accept Cornish's on-the-nose writing without letting it steal the focus. Before we get down to business, John walks us through the Trylon's reopening strategy, how to safely enjoy movies there, what might happen if you don't, and what the rest of 2020 looks like for the theater.
