  • 405: Gregg Araki's Teen Apocalypse
    Today on the show, I discuss the provocative, groundbreaking "Teen Apocalypse" trilogy from New Queer Cinema icon Gregg Araki: Totally Fucked Up, The Doom Generation, and Nowhere. Set in the hazy wastelands of Los Angeles, the films follow various groups of teens who explore drugs, sex, television, and societal collapse through deadpan humor and witty observations on the end of the world.

  • 403: The Wages of Fear & Sorcerer w/ Concessions

    On today's show, I'm joined once again by the Concessions gang as we make a dangerous trek through existentialist hell in two classic nail-biter thrillers: The Wages of Fear by Clouzot and Sorcerer by Friedkin. We talk about how the films tackle similar themes and material while remaining distinct, the social and political implications of each, and how the promise of money can drive a man to his absolute limit. Was it all worth it? Find out in our conversation.
