Depp Impact

Ever see advertising for a movie and then watch the movie and the movie is NOTHING LIKE WHAT YOU THOUGHT IT WAS. If you haven't had this phenomenon happen, do yourself a favor and press play on Arizona Dream. Today Jenna is joined by the professor of obscure Depp-filmography, Cameron Kelsall (@ckelsall) to talk about 1992's Arizona Dream. Somewhere between 21 Jump Street and a fever dream, this movie was made. Questionable pretty people doing weird shit with accordions and flying fish. Seriously, this movie is a TRIP.

Jenna is back from a brief (three month!?) hiatus with one of Depp's more recent outputs! It's nothing personal, listeners, I just needed a break. But this is a movie that is not necessarily worth your time! Jenna is joined by the wonderful, the talented, the last guest on the pod Adam Howard (@adamdouglashoward) to talk about the jumble of metaphors that is Waiting for the Barbarians. This movie came out in 2020 after being shelved since 2019 and maybe it should have remained shelved! I'm being unfair about this boring, beautiful, film with good performances. Adam gave it 2 and 1/2 stars.

I not stinker this deep in Depp's filmography! How did this happen!? It slipped through the cracks. They chat wanting to be cast in The Flick, the perfection that is Salma Hayek, and Spy Kids 3D. Depp is actually really good in this movie and it's... jarring! In a good way? Sure!

Yes, the Lone Ranger. Disney's biggest cinematic flop of all time. Johnny's attempt to "right the wrongs of Native American portrayals in movies" because that is his cross to bear. They talk train chases, Armie Hammer controversies, and Ryan says Depp's old man makeup makes him look like a melted candle.

Rosalie can now cross this movie off her "Crispin Glover Movies To Watch" List, because believe it or not, he is indeed in this movie. They're tired of FEMINISM MEANS GIRLS DO STUFF TOO narratives and Johnny Depp is barely in this movie, even though he gets top billing. What a life.

Terry fell asleep during the movie at one point and Jenna can't remember what happened when he fell asleep, but Bilbo Baggins AND Hagrid are in this movie, so you know it was filmed in London.

Oh yes. And no matter how hard the early 2000's tried, a slow motion sex scene is still not sexy or artful.

Both Tai and Jenna only remembered the "lady in the wheelchair", but they discuss separating art from artist, Depp's smoking habit, and how unintentionally(?) hilarious this film is.

Camille watched most of the 80's classic 21 Jump Street.Jenna was a slacker and only got through the middle of season 2, so Camille caught her up. Camille's mom asserts this is "Johnny Depp at his best." Camille and Jenna kind of agree? They determine 21 Jump Street is Degrassi meets Law and Order, the movie is just not their style, and they just don't make gritty teeny bopper cop shows like they used to.

They discuss the intersection between science and the supernatural, Terrill's love of Christina Ricci, and the women of Sleepy Hollow. They explore how this feels like a PG-13 film, Miranda Witcherson, and the intersection between Jason Vorheese and the Headless Horseman. But the real question remains: Does Tim Burton know any black people?

Jenna is joined by the supremely talented, Broadway bound, Pocket Universe Artistic Director, Alyssa May Gold (@heylyssamay)!! Jenna and Alyssa talk about how much they love Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearland how Jack Sparrow inspired them to chase roles that aren't damsels in distress. Alyssa tracks Elizabeth Swann's hair over the course of the film, they celebrate how good Jack Sparrow's wordless introduction is, and they root for a world where Zoe Saldana gets her own Pirate movie. They rise above technical difficulties and Jenna gives Alyssa a fool's mission....to summarize a 2 hour and 45 minute EPIC in 10 minutes.

Jenna is joined by poet, arts administrator, and star, Mariah Ghant (@emgeewillikers)! They talk Heath Ledger's legacy and the weirdness that is The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.  They investigate Terry Gilliam's obsession with perfect femininity, the beauty of this film's art direction, and how Tom Waits is actually probably the Devil. In a good way! While not considered a "Johnny Depp film", we talk Johnny's 10 minute contribution to this film and the gift of life Depp (as well as Jude Law and Colin Farrell) gave to this film, in spite of the tragic death of its star.

Jenna is joined by Philly actor, writer, artist, and storyteller Hank Curry (@hankcurryactor) to talk *a lot* about Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas! They discuss the brilliance of Benicio del Toro, why Jenna loves Las Vegas, clowns in cinema, and the death of the American dream. Hank had never seen the movie before and watch it TWICE to get in the DVD commentary. Jenna had that Ralph Steadman poster everybody had in college (you know the one) on her wall for years.

Jenna is joined by Theatre Philadelphia's programs assistant, playwright, hard worker, and lovely human being, James Haro (@jamdanharo)! They discuss the sweet, sweet, very sweet movie Chocolat. Jenna dishes on how it's actually kinda nice to see a diabetic in a film just living their life and James discovers just how much plot is in this seemingly simple movie. They talk about how early 2000 films were filled with sssseeeeexxxxx, about how you should wear a damn mask and how Juliette Binoche is Juliette Binoche.

Jenna is joined by college friend, devising artist, and My Gay Agenda podcast co-host, CJ Higgins (https://cjhigginstheatre.com) to talk about Tim Burton's Corpse Bride. They talk about how Tim Burton doesn't know any people of color, how it feels to be deemed "experts" on the 2019 Cats movie and Johnny Depp, and actually get into some hot takes about binary thinking and why Mr. Depp and Amber Heard suck.

Jenna is joined by Philadelphia and New York critic, Cameron Kelsall (@CameronPKelsall on twitter) ! Shifting gears a little bit, they talk about a lesser known Depp title... Sally Potter's The Man Who Cried. They discuss slow motion hair flips, art house sensuality, Christina Ricci's eyes, and the movie's star: a majestic white horse. Because of this film, this is now a Cate Blanchett podcast.

Jenna is joined by the talented singer, actor, and Elm Street scholar Carlos Castillo (Instagram: @cemanuelcastillo)! They deep dive into the iconic Nightmare and (almost) all of the sequels, since Jenna has only seen the first two. A celebration of crop tops, Heather Langenkamp, and a bed full of blood. Johnny Depp's first film role. It's wild to see "Introducing... Johnny Depp" in the credits. There is a hiccup at the 52 minute mark, so apologizes in advance. I'm new in town.

Jenna is joined by Meg Williams to talk about Cry Baby! Meg gives credit where credit is due and agrees this movie was responsible for all sorts of naughty thoughts at the AMC Marlton 8. They celebrate Mink Stole, Jenna discusses the true murder that inspired the film, and they swoon over Johnny Depp's single tear and Traci Lords in all of her beautiful glory.

Jenna is joined by Donovan Lockett (www.donovanlockett.com) to talk to Edward Scissorhands! Jenna keeps saying Edward Scissorhands was made in 1999. It was not. It was made 1990.

10 minutes in, Jenna has an audio malfunction while Donovan is doing a plot description, but then Jenna fixes it and we're off. Jenna and Donovan celebrate Joyce, the neighbor, and the Frankenstein/Pinocchio allegories in a movie about a very pale man doing very pale things in a very white town.

Jenna is joined by Philadelphia actor, musician, Sondeheim fan, and friend (of the show) Alex Bechtel! (www.alexbechtel.com)

Alex and Jenna talk about how great Alan Rickman is and how much Sweeney Todd (the musical) ignited their love of the macabre and alternative musical theatre. They explore why everybody in this movie is whispering and have big pronunciation questions that make them apologize to their acting teachers. Jenna can't stop talking about the Pretty Women sequence because it's the best.

Jenna is joined by Katherine Perry (www.katherineperry.net), Philadelphia personality and friend, to talk about What's Eating Gilbert Grape?. They discuss Gilbert's changing hair color, the beauty and  tragedy of Momma, and Juliette Lewis' bucket hat.

Jenna is joined by the only other person she's spent a significant amount of time with in Quarantine, Dan Scully of Cinema76.comand the I Like to Movie Movie Podcast! One of their Quarantine projects was to watch all of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, which sounded like a chore at first, but was actual way more delightful than either of them anticipated! They discuss Dead Man's Chest and At World's End while drinking hard seltzers and beer.

New format! Jenna will be having guests on to talk about a Johnny Depp movie instead of talking to herself, unless she absolutely has to talk to herself because nobody remembers having watched The Astronaut's Wife!

Jenna talks about Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, and gives a very bad synopsis. Shares small snippets of dialogue from the POTC fan fic, "Steamy Sexy Caribbean Summer" written by "Me", whoever me is, because it isn't Jenna. A mini-solo episode. A test of sorts.
