It's very difficult to keep the line between the past and the present.

Do you believe that someone out of the past can enter and take possession of a living

being?

We may be true with the past, but the past is not through with us.

Welcome to The Next Picture Show, a movie of the week podcast devoted to a classic film and how it shaped our thoughts on a recent release.

I'm Keith Phipps here with Scott Tobias.

Genevieve Kosky.

And Tasha Robinson is once again out this week, but we'll return for our next episodes.

Here on the next picture show, we believe that no film exists in a vacuum and that all culture is more interesting in context. So, every other week, we get together to talk over a classic film and consider how it relates to a current movie. This week, we're paying tribute to the late Jonathan Demi, via a pair of joyous concert films. Genevieve, can you tell us a bit more about our selections? Certainly. When Demi died on April 26th at the age of 73, we lost a director

of incredible range and empathy capable of working across a broad range of genres. He earned his

greatest fame and acclaim for the 1991 thriller The Silence of the Lambs, but he preceded that

film with comedies like Something Wild and Married to the Mob, and followed it with Philadelphia,

a drama about AIDS that doubled

as a plea for tolerance and understanding. Demi also made a number of documentaries, and,

most relevant to us for this episode, concert films. Demi never made the same film twice,

but his films have a shared, generous spirit that's an ample supply and a pair of concert

movies he made decades apart. 1984's Stop Making Sense, starring Talking Heads, and his final film, 2016's Justin Timberlake

and the Tennessee Kids, which captures the final concerts in Timberlake's 2020 Experience

tour.

We'll be holding our lighters aloft for both after the break.

To understand what Stop Making Sense is, it helps understand what it's not.

And finding a point of comparison is pretty easy.
