This week, the great Andrew Kinsella joins us to talk about Colin's return after a year long break from movies and Terrence Malick's return from an eight year break from movies, 2005's The New World! A dreamlike and mystical retelling of the Pocahontas story, the film finds Colin in full elemental force as a conflicted John Smith. Two of the people on this podcast adore this movie, the third is more conflicted, but amidst all the debate as we try to get our heads around this film's massive scope, beguiling structure, and (again), multiple versions, we still find time for a deep, deep dive into Christian Bale's career. Cole thinks The Artist gets a bad rap. Connor draws connections between Malick and the avant-garde. Andrew walks us through his favorite historical epics.
