Storyological - HOLIDAY SPECIAL, VOL. 6

Storyological

Storyological is a podcast about stories. In particular, short stories. In particular, any sort of short story that amazes us. Sometimes we talk about stories in Clarkesworld. Sometimes in Granta. Sometimes we talk about comics. Very occasionally we talk about films. Every episode, writers E.G Cosh and Chris Kammerud discuss how stories work and why they matter and what it is about these particular stories that we love more than anything.

In which we discuss Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang

along with among other things:

Pauline Kael and her book, Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang
Lethal Weapon series
Breaking the Fourth Wall and the French New Wave by Tiffany Chan
That one comedy starring Val Kilmer from before, Top Secret! (trailer)
Hot Shots, Part Deux!
The sad sack hero. For example. Arthur Dent. Bridge Jones. Any number of noir detectives.
People who care more than than they have the capability with which to deal
