Thanks for reading my feedback on Godard. Just to be clear, I don’t think you should bow down before Godard and like every movie he makes, only that you shouldn’t tell him to stop making movies because you don’t appreciate them. If you had just critiqued the film and not made the broader points I don’t think anyone would have too many complaints. Marc from Seoul

Hey guys I just listened to this episode yesterday and was amused by the references to Giorgio Moroder’s 80’s synth-pop soundtrack and colorization of Metropolis. I think I have a copy of the VHS of that version somewhere in my storage. I’ll have to dig it up and see if it’s still in that crate of old tapes. If I find it, I’ll be happy to burn copies to DVD if anyone’s interested.

I remember when that came out, it sounded like an interesting idea at the time but wow did it turn out lame! (Even though his treatment of the film has its defenders, much to my amazement.) Moroder actually has a decent track record as a disco producer (I Feel Love and Love to Love You Baby, two great Donna Summer hits) and earned an Academy Award for his Midnight Express soundtrack. And as I research him a bit more, I see that he produced Flashdance…What a Feeling and Take My Breath Away from Top Gun! Corny tunes but still pretty iconic for their times. But I think Metropolis is where his ambitions totally got beyond his control. Messing with Fritz Lang is never an advisable move!
