show notes
We wrap up season 3 of Second Take Cinema with a pair of movies made by musicians! Moonwalker is the vanity project by Michael Jackson at the height of his fame (and arguably madness). Rejecting narrative and traditional filmmaking in favour of a surrealistic blend of noir gangster movie, music videos, Looney Tunes and...Transformers?
Meanwhile, Spice World made roughly a decade later is a testament to the cynicism and relentless grinding of the pop culture machine; taking the biggest girlband of the 1990s and throwing them into a Frankenstein of a movie stapled and tied together from scraps of other scripts, celebrity cameos and the sheer desire to see just how much Spice Girls the world could take before it finally snapped. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
