Jonathan Freilich Presents

The Double MacGuffin

The Double MacGuffin is a podcast series of conversations on film with Henry Griffin and Jonathan Freilich . There has been a two year hiatus from the first set originally published on Nolascape. Those will be migrated here. Those before 2020 have a slightly different format: they are on one movie. In our continuation it will be a double feature: two films discussed.

Double MacGuffin 1- talking about 'Safe' (1995) and 'Silent Running' (1972)

This week we converse about 2 interesting films inspired by the Coronavirus quarantine scenario that we of the world find ourselves in currently.

Henry Griffin’s choice-

Todd Haynes’s film ‘Safe’ that starred Julianne Moore playing a woman who finds that she has a mysterious but debilitating reaction to environmental pollutants.

Jonathan Freilich’s choice-

The sci-fi cult classic, Silent Running starring Bruce Dern and directed by Douglas Trumball. The movie is set aboard a spaceship trying to save the flora and fauna of the world preserved in geodesic domes attached to the ship. Bruce Dern’s character rebels against an order to blow up the cargo and return to earth.
