Weekly Blend #332 – Fervent Fanbases, Old Sport

It’s Gatsby time! The latest adaptation of the classic novel comes from Baz Luhrmann, a divisive name in entertainment, who Rafe is predisposed to dislike. So how does he wind up giving Gatsby, and what issues does Thomas take with the adaptation? Have a listen to find out. We also discuss Disney’s plans for adapting Into the Woods (or, as we call it, the next Johnny Depp weirdness project), the bizarre images spilling forth from The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and join in on the debate about celebrities like Kristen Bell and Zach Braff using Kickstarter to fund projects, and how that model may appeal more to fervent fanbases than the current studio-dominated system. Co-host: Thomas.
