Ep. 172: Amy Taubin on Dead Ringers, Warhol's Batman Dracula, High Flying Bird, Joie Lee, Elephant

Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw. I’m your host, Nicolas Rapold. This week I’m pleased as punch to speak with the critic Amy Taubin about her ongoing “Carte Blanche” series at the Museum of Modern Art, plus some recent viewing. Titles include: Dead Ringers (TV), Warhol’s unfinished Batman Dracula, High Flying Bird (directed by Steven Soderbergh), Fuller’s Pickup on South Street, shorts by Joie Lee, and Agnieszka Holland’s Washington Square, starring Jennifer Jason Leigh. I also ask Amy about interviewing Barbara Loden for the Soho News, and we chat about my latest pick for New Essentials at the Roxy Cinema in New York: Gus Van Sant’s Elephant.
