Classic Movies Live – Season 4, Episode 3: Paddington 2
January 11, 2023
In 2019, one of the ideas floated around by two friend who would later become beloved hosts of the greatest movie podcast of all time* was to invite experts to suggest a movie, then host a discussion with said expert live after showing the movie.
It could be thought of, in a way, as a sort of discussion of a Classic Movie, Live!, if you will.
While the format has since changed, the idea lives on in this, the fourth season of Classic Movies Live!
In this week’s episode, Pierre and Jeff are joined by Ian (also known as SlightAstronomer3) of the Academy of Death Racers to discuss a veritable modern classic: Paddington 2! Directed by Paul King, Paddington 2 was at least for a time the highest-rated movie on Rotten Tomatoes, and was recently revealed as Nic Cage’s favourite movie in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.
Is it all a meme? Ian certainly doesn’t think so! Tune in this week as our hosts and guest dissect every part of Paddington 2 to determine what makes it a Classic Movie, Live!
And when you’re finished with this episode, consider checking out the 2023 Academy of Death Racers Festival! Running until January 22nd, the 2nd annual AoDR Fest has over 50 short films you can watch at home! For only $5, you can grab yourself an all-access virtual pass over at aodr.net!
