This week on Trial by Content, hosts Dave, Neil, and Joanna explore the concept of 'vanity projects' in film, starting with a discussion about Francis Ford Coppola's latest film, Megalopolis. As they dive deeper into the topic, they attempt to define what constitutes a vanity project, taking into account personal investment and creative control of filmmakers. The debate also includes the announcement of pretrial awards which will set the stage for selecting the biggest movie vanity project, culminating in listener participation for final votes.
The trio shares their top three vanity project picks, steering the conversation towards movies considered the most self-indulgent or excess-laden projects. Listeners are invited to share their opinions and choices, fostering an interactive atmosphere as the participants debate and dissect what truly makes a film a vanity project. The criteria established guide their discussions as they consider various films that may fit the definition.
