Zebras In America episodes

May 18 Popcorn Eschaton 79 - 'Reunion'
On this episode, Scott and John take a look at the Jerry Schatzberg film 'Reunion.' They discuss the quiet power of its story of friendship during the rise of Nazism in Germany, why the film isn't currently accessible, and the insight it has on millennia-old questions concerning the Problem of Evil. As is right and proper, they also discuss the X-Men.

Scott and John planned on making this a double feature with Alex Cox's 'Repo Man,' but the conversation went in so many fruitful directions, it will have to wait for another episode!
