Several members of the Spout team watched The Last King of Scotland at the Chuck Jones Theatre in the Mountain Village above Telluride. To get back to Telluride you have to take a short gondola ride down the mountain. On our way back, we thought it would be interesting to record a podcast as we rode the gondola. So there we were, suspended above the mountain, dangling in the darkness, slowly descending, returning to Telluride, discussing the powerful film we had just seen.
Participating in the podcast are Rick, Dave, Aaron and Bill.
This gondola podcast is fantastic, it great that you're bringing open discussion about film back in this way.
Usually people only sit and talk about film in their cars on their way back home from the cineplex. And usually the deepest that people get about that film is something like... "Seymour Hoffman's voice was really weird in that? Do you think he hurt his throat?"
It's refreshing to hear people speaking openly, and fearlessly, (away from a classroom) about the experience of a great film.
Nice work guys, keep them coming.
