In this episode, Jacob and Ethan talk ‘Sing Sing’, a film that tells the story of a group of men involved in their Rehabilitation Through the Arts program at a maximum security prison. This beautifully touching film sources much of its talent from former incarcerated folks, and many characters in the film are billed as themselves. We highly recommend that you check out this film if you have the chance!

Tune in as Mason and Ethan discuss one of the greatest works from Swedish director, Ingmar Bergman, Fanny and Alexander. The film is a wonderful concoction of autobiographical storytelling and Shakespearean drama, and the result is something incredible.

“If I lost my wife, and the next day a little bird landed on my windowsill, looked me right in the eye, and in plain English said, 'Sean, it's me, Anna. I'm back' What could I say? I guess I'd believe her.”

In this episode, the crew chops it up about Jonathan Glazer’s brilliant and criminally underrated “Birth” (2004).
