Vanilla Sky (2001)
About this episode
The episode discusses the film Vanilla Sky, exploring its themes and impact over time.
Today's new episode is taking us back to 2001's Vanilla Sky. We’re all mainlining Radiohead, questioning reality, and wondering if cryogenic lucid dreaming might be better than actual life. Is this an A+ sci‑fi romance that hits harder the older you get, or an overcooked vanity project with a killer soundtrack? When does the dream actually start, and does the “it was all a dream” twist ruin the movie or secretly make it great? Would you choose a perfectly curated forever with your soulmate, or jump off the building and wake up 150 years in the future with nothing? We tackle all this and more! •0:00:00 - Introductions •0:02:30 - Memories of first viewing •0:06:00 - Pertinent movie details •0:11:00 - Critical and fan reviews •0:17:00 - Scene by scene breakdown •1:32:00 - Modern day ratings —————————————————————— SPONSORS- **Cedar Ridge Distillery- Go check out our sponsor and order some whiskey. http://cedarridgewhiskey.com **K12- See how K12 Powered Schools can help unlock your child’s full potential.
