Episode 186: Dead Again

We take a notably more light-hearted approach to this week's film in our installment of #inthemourning as we examine yet another paradigm-shifting narrative: this time in the form of Sir Kenneth Branagh's Hitchcockian thriller DEAD AGAIN. After our usual stop through Jarden, Texas and episodes 3 & 4 of HBO's THE LEFTOVERS, we have a delightful time discussing this disarmingly romantic and surprisingly effective early 90s thriller about past lives, unsolved mysteries, and a few surprises neither of us saw coming in our first time viewing it.

The film also acts as a kind of litmus test for what you might choose to focus on in its thematic interests. Are you a wounded cynic, seeing the ways in which opportunists keep conflicts stoked to benefit themselves? Or are you a hopeful romantic, noticing the ways that love defies the boundaries of time and eternity to right wrongs and bring about justice? Either way, it's all right here in a laugh-fueled, brisk conversation about Sir Kenneth Branagh's DEAD AGAIN.
