In Episode 13 of 67 Takes, we go full rabbit hole: Tarkovsky’s Stalker, the idea of “the Room” that grants your deepest desire, and what that says about meaning, creativity, and why art sometimes forces us to slow down.

We also touch on Venice Beach artist rules, the weird beauty of long takes, and the fear that everything is getting “optimized” into a machine.

Question for you: What film should we both watch next — Fellini’s 8½ or something else?
