Listen "Openings: Don’t Skip Intro "
Episode Synopsis
This week, we dive headfirst into the world of film and TV openings - not just the flashy first scenes, but the often-skipped opening titles that set the tone, build the world, and occasionally warn you that things are about to get weird. From the full credit crawls of 1940s Hollywood to the sleek, skippable sequences of prestige TV, we break down how intros have evolved, what makes a great one unforgettable, and why fonts can make or break a first impression.We talk Dexter, Succession, Napoleon Dynamite, The Sopranos, Westworld, Moon, BoJack Horseman, True Blood, The Simpsons, and more - plus our favourite films ever: Barbie and The Meg 2.Whether you’re the type to always hit “skip intro” or someone who rewatches the Futurama title card for the hundredth time, this one’s for you.@farfromidealpod on Instagram@FarFromIdealPodcast on YouTube
