POP ART: Episode 123, Parenthood/The Royal Tenenbaums
Episode 123
Wednesday, 25 June, 2025

POP ART says FAMILY PLOTS: Yes, believe it or not, the latest episode of Pop Art, the podcast where we find the pop culture in art and the art in pop culture, is now up. I can’t believe it myself, and yet…it’s true. Get ready for Episode 123. “All happy families are happy in the same way; all unhappy families are unhappy in their own way.” Let’s see if that rapscallion Leo Tolstoy is correct. This time around I am joined by the most enthusiastic Andy Goulding of Blueprint Review as we discussed Ron Howard’s Parenthood and Wes Anderson’s The Royal Tenenbaums. As a side note, I could use a lot more followers and reviews. So, give a guy a break and rhapsodize poetic while talking about how much you love what I have to say. Andy and I especially had a great discussion on comparing the modernist approach of Howard and the post-modern/metamodern approach of Anderson; what films reflected our family life growing up; the racial aspects and attitude toward women in both; and many other discussions. It was a great time.
