Watch mean dig a whole! Be entertained!

Torban Skjodt Jensen's 1995 documentary on the life and works of Carl Dreyer is an homage in content and style.

Gertrud abandons Dreyer's previous religious themes for a different sort of spiritual question.

There's one joke in Ordet, and Pat and Adam disagree on how good it is.

The boys riff on capital punishment and discuss Dreyer. It's a good week!

Wrion Bowling joins us to discuss another great Maysles documentary. Check out Wrion's sci-fi psychological thriller Shelter available at Amazon and Walmart

The Maysles Brothers are incredible filmmakers. Salesman is an incredible film.

Billy Liar is a lot like Rushmore, if Rushmore ended with no one learning anything.

How to Get Ahead in Advertising finds Richard E. Grant one more starring in a tragi-comedy from writer-director Bruce Robinson. And it's brilliant.

Bruce Robinson's Withnail and I (1987) is an immensely quotable, semi-autobiographical tale of alcohol-soaked desperation at the dying end of the 1960's.

John L. Sullivan learns an important lesson about not being a jackass, is just a different sort of jackass.

Luis Bunuel is featured once again with his 1964 adaptation of Diary of a Chambermaid.

The Hidden Fortress is Kurosawa's first cinescope film, his first major hit, and the film George Lucas stole the most from.

A crime procedural with virtually no police. Hope you're taking notes, cause I've got one more job for us.

The quintessential screwball comedy, La Cava's My Man Godfrey is wonderful.
