The energy is a little bit low for episode sixty-one, and for that I beg a bit of patience considering we were at the mercy of a wicked time-zone difference. Precious few times have I recorded a podcast episode where the host is getting up early and the guest is staying up late, but that’s exactly what we had here.

Once again, I bring you an episode where I discuss a film rather quickly after watching it, and before I got a chance to flesh out my thoughts and write about it. I’d say that this was becoming a trend, but happily I already know that I’ll be getting back to normal for episode 63 in two weeks. I wonder if there will be an audible difference?

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – I wish at the age of seventeen I had the cinematic taste that this week’s guest does. maybe then, I’d be further ahead of the game and not just catching up with French New Wave, Italian Neo-Realism, and the wonderful melodrama of Powell & Pressburger. Makes me wonder how film-savvy she’s gonna be when she’s my age!

Oh, and there’s a little something extra in this episode…I wonder if anybody will notice.

Here’s what’s in store in episode sixty-one…
