The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus (2009)
Watching Theology December 22nd, 2010
It seems like everything connected with Terry Gilliam is cursed. This edition of Watching Theology is no exception. Five months in planning, viewing, and construction, the Doctor Parnassus program finally emerges for public listening. On this show, you'll hear Duke and Joe discuss whether they're just a bunch of miserable movie haters, whether Terry Gilliam is really that interesting a director, and how Gilliam's The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus might just be a beautiful mess (Joe also rambles on about how 80s movies might make great future episodes). Is the movie a traditional western "deal with the devil" story or something entirely new and inventive? There's only one way to find out: listen to this, the final episode of season 4. [04.06]
