We recently released a new episode where we spent an hour discussing horror films from why we watch them to what we've learned from them.

And as we record this, we're about to post our discussion of Sasha Barron Cohen's

latest political provocation, Borat's subsequent movie film.

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

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 The Week podcast devoted to a classic film and how it's shaped our thoughts on a recent release.

I'm Tasha Robinson, here with Keith Phipps, Genevieve Koski.

It's Scott Tobias.

With American movie theaters largely closed, we're still focusing on quarantine, pairing films you can find on VOD, cable television, or streaming services.

This week, we've got something particularly special coming up. Everyone, if you'll just open up those shipping boxes I sent you, you'll find your instruments for the intro we're about to do. Instruments? I don't play an instrument. Oh, and how hard could it be to learn? So I sent you an electronic keyboard, a budron, and a flute,

plus the straps to hang them all from your body so you can trade off between them. Okay, it looks like my box contains an electric guitar and a bass guitar. Yeah. I mean, playing them both at once is going to be a little complicated, but I figure you could like duct tape them together into like one of those double-necked stunt guitar kind of things. It looks like I've got symbols, a tambourine, a bunch of percussion shakers, and what is this? A set of wine glasses? Is this so he can get drunk enough to make it through this tortured explanation about your planning here? No, no, no, no. You fill them all with different amounts of water, and then you play them by running your fingers around the rims. It produces

this really haunting tone. Look, none of us can actually play these instruments. I don't think we

have the time to learn during the five minutes we normally allot for these intros. Also,

if anyone's playing wine glasses, it should clearly be me. Scott's more of a beer drinker anyway.

I'm pretty sure I'd need more arms than an octopus to actually perform with all this stuff at once.

But the concert footage I watched for this week's show makes it pretty clear that people can learn to play a lot of different instruments while dancing at the same time.

Have any of you even looked at the choreography I sent over?
