I am joined once again by Dorian Z Bell aka Dank Deleuze to discuss one of my favorite maligned films SOUTHLAND TALES (2006) written and directed by Richard Kelly. While Southland Tales was not as well received as Kelly's debut Donnie Darko (2001) it has gained a small but loyal cult following since its release.
