    Fake Critic Quotes, Oasis Obsessions & Demure, Mindful or Brat?
    Sep 11 2024
    Welcome back to THE DISCOURSE, a podcast about film, entertainment & culture. In this episode, Tony and Carl are posed a question by friend of show, Raquel Stecher, regarding strange fake quotes from long dead, legendary film critics for Francis Ford Coppola's upcoming Megalopolis. What the dickens is happening here? Plus! Everyone is going nuts about the reunion of Oasis, but are we? Ticket madness, musical nostalgia and perhaps just plain middle-aged reverie is to blame, but is there more to it? Finally, did we have a brat summer? And are we very mindful, very demure? Listen and find out!
