Once upon a time, three dudes met in a college office and recorded a podcast. Over time, the equipment got better but the personalities staid the same. Welcome, to the GenreCast movie analysis podcast. This week, on the docket, is Matthew Vaughn’s fun fantasy adventure, Stardust.

Crossing the Wall into Stardust

Matthew Vaughn’s 2007 Stardust is adapted from Gaiman’s work of the same name. It features a young man on a journey to win a woman’s heart. Along the way, he encounters the fallen star that he has vowed to bring back to his love. But, he’s not the only one after her. Princes, witches and sky pirates all get into the way as the young man learns about love and life outside his small community.

Spoiler alert: we decide that Stardust is vastly underrated. As we get into analysis, topics of the fantasy genre, love, production design and cinematography and much more come up. Join us as we go an another wonderful adventure, and come back next week for more daring escapades.
