Alfonso Cuarón

Alfonso Cuarón is our first Oscar winner for best directing and we were certainly impressed with his talent. Listen as we discuss the effectiveness of Cuarón's filmmaking technique, his worldview, and the potency of Children of Men in today's political climate. Will Jon be won over by Gravity? Will Chris understand how AIDs can be funny? Listen to find out. Note: We do our best with Spanish pronunciations . . . which are not very good.
