&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;You&lt;/em&gt; are about to listen to a mega episode. Charged up and sans guest, we dive deep into a core facet of moviemaking and film-viewing: point of view—the power of films to invisibly place you behind the eyes, and inside the mind, of a specific character. Jumping off from two dynamite script pages, and pulling crucial info from our film studies education, we explore how subjectivity is essentially inescapable as soon as a camera angle is chosen. We also turn our attention to what “objectivity” could possibly mean in a cinematic context, what happens when multiple POV characters collide, and whether we may have found the most perfect pair of socks for a cold weather film set.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Coens covered: &lt;/strong&gt;Barton Fink, Touileries (from &lt;em&gt;Paris, je t'aime&lt;/em&gt;), Fargo, A Serious Man, True Grit, Inside Llewyn Davis, Hail, Caesar!, The Gal Who Got Rattled (from Buster Scruggs)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Plus: &lt;/strong&gt;Frankenstein (2025),&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;Amélie&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Want to join the study group?
