Episode 92: Three Sports Cars in a Culver's Prompts: Beast, Emerald, 9 Welcome to an all-new and endlessly entertaining (we hope) episode of Curated by Chance. The episode starts off with a bang, or, more literally, a CUT, as Neal accidentally cuts himself and shows blood. He's okay, but after you hear the rest of the episode, it actually all comes together in relation to his topic and it was unplanned. Neal talks about a freaky moment watching the new movie APEX on Netflix and a quick NYC update, and Lauren gives an update on her house hunting. Both of the hosts send out the call to help them reach 50 reviews on Apple and Spotify and 50 patrons! To start this week, Lauren takes us on a deep dive into the Fauvist art movement and how artists like Henri Matisse used color with emotion rather than realism. LT talks about controversial paintings like Blue Nude and The Green Stripe and breaks down the themes of gender ambiguity, colonialism, sexuality, and color. This movement, evolving out of Impressionism and Pointillism rejected realism and inspired negative reactions from audiences at the time but ultimately became influential in modern art. Neal then takes the word beast very literally, chronicling the infamous cult film Roar (1981) often called "the most dangerous movie ever made." Neal talks about producer Noel Marshall living and filming with real lions, tigers, and other big beasts and talks about the absolutely insane behind-the-scenes stories of a years-long filming process that resulted in dozens of serious injuries, near-death experiences, escaped animals and more. The film did result in a real-life big cat sanctuary but what happened on set seems too crazy to be true and is something you have to witness at least once in your movie going journey!
