The Curious Perspective : Recent Episodes
George Correa Ramirez
A podcast where we explore the themes within our storytelling that inspire us; this would range from reviewing the thematic themes within our movies such as Babylon, Everything Everywhere All At Once, sharing commentary on important news relating to cinematic universes, to something as specific as revisiting the moral arguments in a childhood show like "Avatar: The Last Airbender'.
With Elizabeth Olsen recently teasing a possible return of our favorite witch I thought it would be a great time to re-examine the magic within WandaVision and talk about the storytelling possibilities for the future!
In today's episode we cover all things Wanda Maximoff & WandaVision!
- First I’ll talk about some powerful themes associated w/ Wanda
- Then we’ll dive deep into WandaVision examining how it depicts the 5 stages of grief
- Lastly I’ll spend time addressing Wanda in Multiverse of Madness, theories on where we can see her next & how she connects to Kang The Conqueror
Wandavision is a dedicated character study that explores Wanda's journey with grief. Written by Jac Scheffer, directed by Matt Shakman; starring Elizabeth Olsen, Paul Bettany, Teyonah Parris, Kathyrn Hahn, Kat Dennings, and Evan Peters. Streaming on DisneyPlus!
In today's episode, I wanted to take some time to revisit JC Chandon's, 2011 wall street, thriller margin call. This was an Oscar nominated, original screenplay, both written and directed by JC Chander. This was actually his directorial debut and the film itself is loosely based on the initial stages of the subprime mortgage crisis of 2007, 2008.
We talk about:
how unethical business practices can destroy one's morality.
How capitalism in and of itself can not only eat away at one's humanity, but also create immoral individuals that essentially only look out for themselves.
Next deep dives I'm working on: Wandavision & The Menu
In today's episode we're going to tackle all things in the Quantumania. The new Ant-man film didn't entirely work for me, but after seeing it two times I still think there's some magic in this film to explore:
- Cassie's Journey w/ Empathy
- What didn't work within the writing
- Kang Theories
Hope you all enjoy! The next deep dive will be J.C Chandor's 'Margin Call'.
In today's episode, we're going to be revisiting James Cameron's 1997 Titanic, starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio. Recently James Cameron re-released the 1997 romantic disaster film ahead of its 25th anniversary. As a baby millennial born in the latter half of the 1990s I remember this film as some of my fondest memories of first being in a movie theater and experiencing a blockbuster; the epic scope & mythical love story are still captivating generations to come.
In this episode we’ll talk about what I believe this film means, from a filmmarking perspective. Then take a deep dive into why I think the story between Rose & Jack is the best romantic story ever to grace our cinemas (sorry notebook).
Join me as I take time to revisit this gem of a movie and its impact in the last 25 years.
In today’s episode we're going to be revisiting Ryan Coogler's, Black Panther: Wakanda forever.
With the recent release of 'Wakanda Forever' recently making its way onto Disney Plus I thought now would be a great time to revisit the powerful themes within Ryan Coogler's second outing.
From discussing the themes of Grief that Princess Shuri goes on as she mourns the loss of her brother, King T'challa; Exploring Wakanda's Vulnerability; Revisiting the cultural significance of Tenoch Huerta's Namor & the introduction of Talokan; and lastly, we'll discuss some news about the film since its' theatrical release.
On today’s episode we’re going to recap all of the announcements from the DC slate. We'll cover each announcement and talk a bit about what this means for the DC Universe moving forward!
I started this podcast in hopes of exploring the themes within our storytelling, because I believe if we're able to better understand our stories, we could then better understand our everyday lives. Storytelling is unique to all humans and I want to share this passion of exploring those stories with you. This could range from reviewing the thematic themes within our movies such as Babylon, Everything Everywhere All At Once, sharing commentary on important news relating to cinematic universes, or something as specific as revisiting the moral arguments in a childhood show like "Avatar: The Last Airbender'.
I hope to continue to grow this podcast; this episode will be released along with 2 other episodes: one dedicated to exploring Ant-man & The Wasp ahead of 'Quantumania' & one diving deep into Damien Chazelle's Babylon.

On today’s episode we’re going to cover some interesting tidbits that came out recently, take a deep dive approach, explore the personal stakes of the Antman family going into this film, and then we’re going to talk about all things ‘Kang’.
What we can expect from Kang, at least in this film, what’s his goal, what’s going to be his moral argument moving forward and get into some interesting theories that could possibly set up his ‘grounded story’ moving forward in Avengers 5.
