William Sarradet and Gabriel Martinez discuss two films from the late 70s whose protagonists embark on slow journeys and a third film that stages "Hamlet" inside "Grand Theft Auto."

"I was completely awestruck. I was really grateful to see that yes it is true that you can make fictional film that is relatable and doesn't have to rely so much on artifice to be interesting or entertaining."

This week's podcast is sponsored in part by Discovery Green in Downtown Houston, which through February 16 is presenting ATLAS, an immersive installation by Jen Lewin. The piece features 24 oversized and ethereal glowing moths. The majestic creatures are suspended from the trees and react to the movement of visitors. Each represents a unique endangered North American moth species — symbolizing the vital role these creatures play in the environment.
