#477 Russell's THE KILLER OF SHEEP (1978, dir. Charles Burnett)

from A Quality Interruption

EPISODE #477-- Now that grad school is behind our editor, we're back to our Black History Month series (and the show, in general). Today we're talking about the Charles Burnett student film classic, THE KILLER OF SHEEP (1978). A great, weird, little movie that kind of has to be seen to be believed-- not that this'll keep us from trying. Anyways, it's a fun one. Listen to it. We also chat about Spike Lee's MALCOLM X (1992), Paul Schrader's HARDCORE (1979), NBC's PONY'S (2026 - ), and HBO's A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS (2026 - ). Good stuff, right?
