Listen Later

This week we are joined by podcaster Alexei Toliopolous (@ThisisAlexei) of Total Reboot, Finding Desperado, and Finding Drago to discuss his pick: Australian director Gillian Armstrong's first feature film My Brilliant Career.  This groundbreaking film blends elements from the eponymous novel and biography of Miles Franklin, exploring her struggles for independence and creative success at the end of the nineteenth century.  We discuss pillow fights, English country dance decorum, Sam Neill's iconic khaki fashion palette, Australian cinema, Gillian Armstrong's cool glasses, and more!

If you'd like to watch ahead for next week's film, we will be discussing and reviewing Claire Denis' Let The Sunshine In (2017).
