This very special episode of Docn' has three big firsts - it's our first episode without co-host Carolyn on the microphone (boo), our first episode featuring a guest (yay) and our first discussion of a movie currently out in theaters (ambivalent noise).

We are joined by Managing Director of the Texas Archive of the Moving Image (or "TAMI") Elizabeth Hansen to talk about The Velvet Underground, the first music documentary from established and beloved director Todd Haynes.

We discuss how and maybe why this music film is just so damn visual, about film archives in general and Elizabeth's work with TAMI in particular, and about the laser focus of director Haynes and his choice of working with a small set of interviewees to tell a very big story.
