In our first video episode, we take a look at 500 Days of Summer. Alex explains how the movie is all about males putting unreasonable expectations on women that they meet, and James explains how that same type of misperception has lead to the way 500 Days of Summer gets discussed by people who like it. Finally, they explain what this says about Zooey Deschanel’s career, as well as talking about Annie Hall a little bit.
So, what’s the scenario?
The MacGuffin Men is a podcast and blog that hopes to add some depth to what we feel is lacking in film and pop culture criticism. Both the podcast and blog will focus mostly on movies, but we will occasionally stray into other topics like music, social media, and sports. Yes, sports. Deal with it.
