Paul Scheer: 谢尔从一个烂片爱好者的角度出发，分享了他心目中最差却也最有趣的五部电影：《房间》、《迈阿密连接》、《武士警察》、《乔纳森·利文斯顿·海鸥》和《苹果》。他认为这些电影虽然糟糕，但却以其独特的荒诞和充满创意的失败方式，带给观众独特的观影体验。他欣赏导演和编剧在创作过程中投入的努力，即使最终结果不尽如人意。他特别强调了《房间》的史诗级失败，认为其应该被载入电影史册。他还分享了观看这些电影的乐趣，以及这些电影如何成为他与朋友们一起讨论和分享的素材。他认为，一部电影即使很糟糕，只要导演怀抱着热情去创作（passion project），就值得被关注和欣赏。他认为烂片并不一定意味着没有艺术价值，而是以一种独特的方式展现了电影创作的可能性。 Justin Chang: 评论家Justin Chang则从专业的角度对科波拉的电影《大都会》进行了评价。他认为这部电影虽然饱受争议，但其大胆的尝试和对文明的深刻探讨是值得肯定的。他指出，人们对这部电影的负面评价，很大程度上源于科波拉过大的野心，以及人们对这种野心的不适感。他认为，将巨额资金投入到艺术或商业上的失败并不可怕，因为每天都有更多资金浪费在更糟糕的事情上。他欣赏科波拉在85岁高龄还能创作出如此独特的电影，并认为这部电影在视觉风格上融合了古典好莱坞和未来主义元素，对时间概念进行了独特的处理，并提出了关于文明和未来等重要问题。他认为，虽然这部电影并非完美，但其独特的艺术风格和对时空的处理方式，以及对文明的深刻探讨，都使其成为一部值得关注和思考的电影。

Shownotes Transcript

Paul Scheer is a noted actor and comedian, and the author of the new memoir “Joyful Recollections of Trauma.” Off the screen, his true obsession is bad movies—even terrible movies. With his wife, the actor and comedian June Diane Raphael, and their friend Jason Mantzoukas, he presents the podcast “How Did This Get Made?,” picking apart all manner of bombs. David Remnick met Scheer at the Brooklyn Brewery and asked him for his top five of the very worst movies, and why they deserve recognition. Scheer discusses “The Room,” “Miami Connection,” “Samurai Cop,” “Jonathan Livingston Seagull,” and “The Apple.” “When I hear a director go ‘passion project,’ I’m in,” he says.  

Plus, Francis Ford Coppola invested much of his personal fortune in a passion project, “Megalopolis.” It was mocked as a colossal failure before it even premièred. But the New Yorker film critic Justin Chang) was at that première), and he thinks the chatter is wildly off base.
