Episode 12: Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio
/
“The one thing that makes human life precious and meaningful, you see, is how brief it is.”
-Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio (2022)
It's a momentous day! Episode 12 of Del Toro Discourse has gone live, and it's the final installment (for now). For this last episode, we're talking Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio (2022), directed by Guillermo del Toro. And Mark Gustafson. Pinocchio is a new interpretation of that beloved old story of an immortal demon child who terrorizes half of fascist Italy with his yodeling and general disobedience. That's how the Disney version went, right? Guillermo's version doubles down on some of his favorite themes, like grief, difficult fathers, and beating the hell out of innocent crickets.
Please enjoy the end of our Del Toro discussions, and rest assured, the podcast will be starting up again after a short break.
