Episode 030: Films of Depression

Summary: Come hell, come high water! Dave brings depression to the show. We may ostensibly be reviewing Mike Leigh’s NAKED, Lars Von Trier’s MELANCHOLIA, and the Ian Curtis biopic CONTROL, but what we’re actually doing is investigating  our personal love affairs with sadness, the glorious tragedy of madness, and all sorts of other personal demons.There’s a lot of boo-hoo, poor me-ing, but Max, amazingly, doesn’t actually cry on this show. He and Tom do, however, get under Joe’s skin and despite his vow of keeping it cool and not arguing with anyone, his temper gets the best of him. At least Dave seems to be amused. Heavy things, rainy days. Man, does anyone have any Zoloft?
