Doctor Strange, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Pronounce ’Synechdoche’

The non-event Marvel film formula is perfected with Dr. Strange, a movie so perfectly smooth and spherical it's already become a fixture of neoclassical economics textbooks. All the pieces are here and they're all shiny and grey like a kitchen appliance. Join Nicole and Stu as they try and fail to talk about this movie and talk about everything around this movie, because there's nothing to talk about. There is an idea of a Dr. Strange, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real movie, only an entity, something illusory.

You can get everything Dr. Strange has to offer, better, in under five minutes, by watching this Michel Gondry directed Chemical Brothers music video from 1999.
