Unwatchables with Marc & Seth

Episode 23 - Irreversible feat. Mike D'Angelo


Listen Later

We’re thrilled to welcome professional critic Mike D’Angelo—aka “The Man Who Viewed Too Much,” staple of The AvClub, The Dissolve, Las Vegas Weekly, and now Alternate Ending, among others (as well as a thriving Patreon)— to Unwatchables. Mike personally witnessed hundreds of people flee the Cannes premiere of 2002’s Irreversible, and to this day considers it the most painful to watch of all great films. We discuss what makes the film so unwatchable (yet profound?), what sets it apart from Gaspar Noé’s other provocations, and Mike’s favorite theatrical experiences in his 27 years as a critic.


Unwatchables is hosted by Marc Dottavio and Seth Troyer, produced by Tony Scarpitti, featuring artwork by Micah Kraus.
