The New Beverly Cinema presents the Pure Cinema Podcast.

Yeah, we're going to dive into some mind-bending cinema today.

Yes, indeed.

This was an episode we might have done with a guest.

We don't have to talk about the guest, but...

We had plans with a guest uh who who couldn't make

it in the end and for good reasons and is going to do it again at a later date but it's going to be

worth the wait it's going to be worth the wait uh so we're like thinking about mind bending visionary

mind fuck cinema i think they all i wouldn't call them interchangeable i think they are all

different types of movies but i kind of feel like i went for a list that maybe touches on them all.

For me, I was like trying to define it in my head as films that bend your mind

or the character's mind or opened your mind to seeing something in a new way,

you know, which could be more like the visionary

film. But it seems like you could go any of these directions or, like you could go down the

rabbit hole of one of these or all of them in concert in a sense. Yeah, I'm curious how we're

going to end up after that. I mean, I use the word head trip as sort of a key

launching point in terms of the movie. So it is, they're sometimes trippy to watch. They're

definitely involving the characters, I don't want to say being fucked with, but like something's

going on that is distorting reality.

So it is along the lines of what you're talking about.

There is something off.

And we are sometimes left in the dark as to what's really happening.
