Time on Screen: The Life of Chuck
Time on Screen returns this week with an all new episode. In this episode, Zach Kazan and Kat Shoulders break down The Life of Chuck, the latest from Mike Flanagan, a favorite filmmaker among the Worn & Wound crew. The Life of Chuck is an adaptation of a Stephen King novella that is somewhat hard to describe. It follows the life of a single character through important stages of his life, with a story told in an extremely unconventional way, and is one of those movies that you’ll want to discuss and dissect as soon as you get out of the theater. It’s also a big left turn for Flanagan away from the horror genre, and feels like a much more personal statement.
In this conversation, Zach and Kat break down the movie’s structure and its key themes and scenes, and also rank their top three Mike Flanagan projects. They also talk about the importance of time as its portrayed in this movie, both in the way the story is told, and through a perfectly delivered Flanagan monologue that repurposes Carl Sagan’s famous “Cosmic Calendar” principle.
