In 2013 Matt Farley and Motern Media created Local Legends, a film that has since achieved a cult status as one of the definitive works about working as a creatively and financially independent artist in the 21st century. Eleven years later, he returns with Local Legends: Bloodbath, a metatextual satire that takes aim at celebrity and the image he's created of and for himself. Nolan and Toney watched the film and try to piece together what it means for the Local Legends lore, Motern Media as a whole, and independent filmmaking in 2024.
Also: Toney issues a PSA from All We Imagine as Light director Payal Kapadia, Nolan had polar opposite reactions to Here and Emilia Perez, and an off-the-cuff conversation about anti-war cinema.
