Decade vs Decade: 60s v 80s - Fantasy
From the minds of Dan Gorman and Jenna Ipcar comes a new segment on Notes From the Back Row: Decade vs Decade! In an attempt to branch out of their comfort zones, we're pitting pre-1980s cinema against post-1980s cinema, spinning a wheel on a genre or theme and then daring each other to watch what we've chosen.
For our first episode, we're covering the fantasy genre with two wildly different and yet surprisingly similar films. Jenna's choice for the 1960s is The Fabulous Baron Munchausen (1962) by Karel Zeman, while Dan went right for Conquest (1983) by Lucio Fulci. Expect a whole lot of spectacular visuals, slightly incoherent storylines and vibes a plenty as these two stylish films duke it out.
