Schrader Ep. 22: Affliction (1997) with Glenn Heath, Jr.


Listen Later

"AFFLIC" - the Aflac duck if he was talking about this movie! For real, though, a lot of the characters in this film could have used some insurance based on many of the events that take place in Paul Schrader's 1997 Russell Banks adaptation AFFLICTION. Returning to the show to help us discuss this snowbound story of alcoholism and abuse is writer and film programmer Glenn Heath, Jr.! Join us for discussion of small-town authority, proximity, auto-dentistry, and more.
